There were 11 Clean Matches

Dobber    accepting the Cross-eyed Cowboy award, it may be a State Record, 35 misses in 5 Stages, but nobody has more fun shooting than Dobber.


We had 155 shooters from 10 states compete at this years Tennessee State Championship,  The Regulators reckoning. The weather was great ( a little hot). The Stages were Fast and fun with no procedural traps. There were some P's but I think most were brain fade. 
It was good to see old friends and to make new ones. I'm looking forward to the next big match to see lots of friends again.
I hope everyone enjoyed it, I know I did. I posted the names I knew and the awards I could remember. I'm sorry I didn't get everyone's picture, but with range duties it seemed like I got back to each Posse just as the same folks were shooting every time. 
Thanks to all the Regulators and all the Shooters who made this a great shoot.
 See you down the trail.
Randy

Deadeye Daisy has her and Sheriff Donald's pictures posted,  take a look at them they are always good.
