May Results

Attendees: Mac Traven, Bonnie Lass, Samuel Cy Jesse, Windfall Heart, Buck Johnson, Jack Jones, Cold Brook Kid, Myth Maker, Wild Horse Mike, Butch O’Toole, Spinning Sally, Brian Brooks and Ted Watson.

Ted Watson came as a new shooter to Cowboy Action. Please welcome Ted Watson to our club and Cowboy Action Shooting! Thank-you for coming!!

Our day started out cool and muddy. (We had had rain for 5 days out of the past 7!) The sun was peeking out throughout the day but by the time we got to the last stage rain was threatening. We completed the stage without getting wet although picking up the props was a wet business.

The following people attended as spectators: Scott Nichols and his son! Thank-you for coming!!

We hope they all had a good time and would like to come and join us in the future!

May Notes

We did the scenarios that were picked out for April, as we were required to cancel because the road to the club was dangerous to get into. We all had fun doing dishes and desperados, cleaning the stoop and low down skunks and other situations. We had a few people who did not complete due to issues that they already had which made it difficult to finish. Everyone seemed to enjoy the scenarios and had a great time seeing everyone after the winter.

Clean Stage Shooters

This month, Samuel Cy Jesse, and T.W. Reynolds each had three clean stages. Cold Brook Kid, Myth Maker, Wild Horse Mike and Jack Jones each had two clean stages. Buck Johnson had one clean stage to end his day. If you see any of them out and about tell them congratulations on a job well done!
