One of the most common challenges and/or questions is “shooting position”. Quite often we write in a stage scenario “From position 1…. From position 2…. Etc.”. We list what firearm is to be shot from each position and frequently we assume it is understood to shoot from those positions in the sequence they are listed without saying that
Recently we had a shooter’s pistol explode upon firing. This was not a misfire. Luckily no one was injured, the explosion blew half of the shooter’s cylinder off. (There is a new hole in the wall between the loading position and the pistol firing position of Stage 2, Dixie-Cullen Telegraph & Freight Forwarding). We are fortunate that the only damage was to the pistol and the wall.
Please remember veterans. Some gave all and all gave some. Myself, my brothers, my father, my uncles, and so many of my friends. They stood in harm’s way for our freedoms.
Texas Penny shared an idea about our plate racks. Remember you can shoot at them before our matches. Once you arrive at the match, sign in and get ready, just head down to Stage 1, The Nile City Depot, and shoot off a cylinder or two.
You would not be wrong to say they are a vital part of this club— the Very Heart and Soul (many say Ranger Will Kenchum and Rawhide are the liver and spleen but I digress). Many changes will be happening in the coming months—and we’ll keep you posted. As Cowboy has said many times, “Knowledge is Power, but Red Dot is Powder.” ◄ whatever that means?!??
