September 29th: with some cloudy weather and Comin at Cha sucking off the cream of the crop we ended with 18 shooters in posses of 11 and 7??? For some reason this sounded like a good idea at the time. I will say when you’re on a posse of 7 everyone works and things go smoothly once a routine is established—that took one stage to develop.
August 25th: it was an beautiful day with mild temperatures and then the Sun came up but that didn’t deter 25 shooters with assorted companions show up for the “most important SASS August Match in Grimes, Co.” Safety meetings are becoming more compact and less wordy, I think because more people are laughing at BPB and TJD’s jokes — whatever keeps those two happy. I did discover I can be an active listener seated in a chair or standing up—sitting always wins.
July 28th Match: We had 32 shooters at this match which is pretty amazing given the weather conditions at the range. Everyone came to have fun, play Cowboys and Indians and ‘shoot at stuff.’
Matches report: Since we had three matches this time I’m going to do a ‘group’ report. Weather was uniformly hot and humid. Some of our members were adversely affected by these conditions but plan to return when cooler conditions return. Lorelei did show up to run the unloading table for her posse and the Happy Trails match had a few more attend mostly for TJD’s cooking.
Matches report: May 26: Summer dress arrived about the same time as Summer and everyone was very happy the stages had fans. While we shot 6 stages we will be returning to 5 stage matches for the rest of summer.
April 28: what a great bunch of cowboys turned out to shoot! We had 3 posses totaling 45 shooters so I think the spring time attendance has arrived. Some folks of note: Shotgun Willie Nelson was making his first appearance while Wild Card Wayne, Macon A. Longshot and The Major are returning after a bit of a vacation—good to have them at the range.
