59 shooters converged on Wartrace
for a great day of shooting. The day
started out in the 30's and sunny, but
by the time the shooting started it was
near 50 and mid 50's before we
finished.

Through out the course of the day we
rode out to the Line Shack with a purty
gal, had a run in with a vaquero over
King Fishers road, tried to board the
Train after being falsely accused of
horse stealing and found ourselves
in the middle of the Sutton-Taylor
Fued.

My Posse started out on the Train and
that was appropriate since I started
with a train wreck.
Next we moved to the Corral and tried
our hand at the Texas Star with the
rifle, alternating between the Star and
a square plate. Anything left on the
Star could be cleaned up with your
Scattergun. Then we had 2 pistol
dump targets.
Then we moved to the Fort and were
accused of stealing horses for the
second time today.

After taking a break for some grub we
rode out to the Line Shack with a purty
gal, only to be confronted by her irate,
soon to be late, brother. We finished
up our day at the Cemetery where we
had to make a road over a ornery
vaquero.

We'd like to thank our Pards who
came over from East Tennessee and
also several who came up from
Alabama to help up clean up
Wartrace.

As always Whiskey Hayes wrote
some fast and fun stages with "No P
Traps" but with ample opportunity to
get over confident and to exceed your
speed limit.

Papa Dave was on a roll and was our
Top Gun for the day, followed by Buck
Dodgers, Will Reilly, Whiskey Hayes
and Scattergun Kid. These 5 will
make up our Shootist Category at the
April 3rd Match.

Congratulations also go out to Slim
Jim Dandy, Hardluck Hudgens and
Pond Creek Pete for shooting Clean
Matches.

Papa Dave, who heads up our Wild
Bunch Matches opened them up to
Cowboy shooters as well this winter
due to weather related limits on
opportunities to shoot. After trying this
for 2 months with no problems our
Mid-Month Match will now be a
combined Cowboy Action/ Wild Bunch
Match. This will give those who like
Wild Bunch plenty of opportunities to
shoot. Cowboy shooters will get to
see what Wild Bunch is all about. For
more info click on Wild Bunch .

We'd like to thank everyone who
came to shoot with us and invite all to
come to our Mid-Month Cowboy
Action/ Wild Bunch Match on March 20.

We had several spectators that came
out to watch and would like to remind
everyone to invite your friends to
come out and see what Cowboy
Action Shooting is all about.

Grey Horse came by to see us, it was
great to see him again. Hopefully in a
couple of weeks they will be able to
put his knee back in. Latigo Jim was
back shooting with us, good to see
his "Smiling" face again. Cash
Jackson was also shooting and it's
always a pleasure to see him. Please
keep these folks and Hot Lead
Dancin's wife in your prayers.

And last but certainly not least, a
special thanks to Annie Marlin for
taking care of registration and stats.

Until next time Keep Your Powder Dry.
