Unsung Members: we try to highlight our members who brave the elements to mow and weed-eat the grass. Also, those who step up and offer help where and when needed—it is much appreciated . . .
July 2022 Newsletter
Just for a little minor humor – there are several of us that shoot the true,
original, environmentally friendly projectile propellant (known to commoners as “black powder””) on our posse. The newest inductee is GW Ketchum. Since I’ve claimed the “Ole Smokey” moniker the last few years due to the title of this column, we’ve come to agreement on the nicknames in our group. I am Old Smokey; GW, the next oldest, is “Older Smokey”; and Fairplay John, being the eldest, is now “Oldest Smokey”. Y’all greet them as such the next time you meet!

We hosted the TSRA Regional shoot last month at TRR, with a good turnout. The purpose of our match was to raise funds to help put on the TSRA annual match at the Texican Rangers in Fredericksburg the weekend of July 30th. Please plan to attend that match if at all possible. Given the actions of the politicians in control of our country at present, the TSRA and NRA need all the support we can give them.

We hosted the TSRA Regional shoot yesterday at TRR, with a good urnout. There was a short shower toward the end of the match, but it cleared away quickly and didn’t impact the match or lunch. All in all, a nice relaxed match with good stage writing by Cheyenne.
April 2022 Newsletter
Three Matches this Month: along with our matches on the 2nd and 23rd, we will be hosting a TSRA Cowboy match on April 30th. While this last one is going to be pretty much the same as our normal monthly matches, proceeds will go to The Texas State Rifle Association.

RO I & II Class results: the weekend Feb 19-20, a number of our members attended RO Classes taught by RO Instructor TJD. Saturday’s RO I class was attended by Tyrel Sackett, Caledonia Red, Crockett, Ramblin’ Gambler and myself. Everyone had a great time while increasing their knowledge of our hobby/sport/obsession. See the next article about the two major changes in SASS rules.
