A
Special thank you to all that attended today's events. A great bunch of competitors
again adapted their own personal skills to ..."get even with the horse
thief".... and to "have a recond'd with the crooked sodbuster"
...oh if ..."I could get to read the Journal in Peace" all five stages
were terrific. Next weeks stages will be entirely different so why don't you
come along and experience real Cowboy Action Shooting? You may wish to view

Yes
the weather was cool and overcast so for those that stayed home thinking it was
going to be hot again or raining, well sorry to say you missed another good one.
Long time Cowboy Action Shooter Mortimer and some say he is a Legend within the
game not only cleaned the match but won outright. The other shooter that cleaned
the match was Grizzly James. Congratulations to you both. It was also great to
see Ugly Al and a big improvement in the condition of his foot, hopefully it
won't be long and he will be back on the range toting his six-guns. The scores

new contenders on the line today from Poona, I trust you enjoyed your day and

amazing sport it is, yes everyone has a tale to tell of why they missed a shot
or maybe why it didn't happen that way.....just have a listen to the
conversations at lunchtime. There is no shoot Easter Day

March,2009.
We
could not have got a better day for today's action packed stages of Cowboy
Action. Cool breezes with a maximum temperature
of 28 degrees. Everybody had a fantastic time.
The Pat Garrett shoot was impressive with Siringo taking out the honors followed
by Cpt.J.C.Jackson and Bad Ass Wallace.
My favorite stage today was "The Train".... I guess that will teach me
not to forget to shoot my rifle...
See you next shoot 5th.April, I know you could do with some practice for the
Dalby Easter shoot.

26th March,2006."Saving
Jacks Ass" another fantastic5 stages produced and presented by
our new shooter Jack the Blade Slade. And what a finale for Jack's month of scenarios
plus the weather was a cool 28 degrees and the skies were blue as can be and not
a cloud to be seen.
The Story : Jack Slade was hanged by vigilantes in Virginia City, Montana, on
March 10,1864.Stage 4 required some deadly accurate rifle shooting to save Jacks
Ass. "....you raced from the Jail House door to where your rifle was staged
in front of the gallows, picked it up and immediately took out the five targets
before placing a deadly accurate shot to cut the rope above the noose to set
Jack free.10 seconds bonus was awarded if you cut the rope.
After lunch twelve shooters tried out the new simulated
game clay target range as cowboy clays. Greg
Manning with his side by side short barrel coach gun won the match.

5th March,2006. Jack the Blade Slade
day was another top shoot. A special thanks to Jack for his mighty fine efforts
in
producing five fabulous stages. Pictured is Stage 3 as seen by the shooter once
he was seated on the Mortuary Wagon. The stage was called "On the
Wagon" and to start the timer the shooter had to yell "The
Stage Coach is running late". The story for the scenario went like
this : "By 1859 Jack Slade had become a stage driver & was a
superintendent of the central overland stage line through some of the most
lawless and dangerous stretches of the route in Nebraska,Colorado and Wyoming.In
1860 Slade supervised the construction of almost 200 relay stations for the Pony
Express."
