53 Cowboys and Cowgirls converged on Wartrace for our July Main Match. We were fortunate enough to have shooters from Alabama, Georgia and Kentucky as well as Tennessee join us. It was a great day (a little warm but much better than winter) with no rain to dampen any ones spirit.
Whiskey Hayes scaled back the movement again on the stages due to the expected hot weather. At the Gallows and Graftons we had minimal movement and only 2 shotgun knock downs at the Gallows. The Wells Fargo Bank and the Jail were both "Stand and Deliver" stages with 6 shotgun kd's at the bank. At the Depot we shot from both inside and outside.
They were some fast stages as evidenced by the fact that Campo Kid shot the 5 stage match in less than 85 seconds.
We had a few new shooters but I had to work in the morning and didn't catch all the names. I was also unable to take any pictures as I shot through once I got there.
Campo Kid was the Top Gun of the day, followed by Buck Dodgers, Randy Atcher, Sergeant Shooter and Lone Wolf Swain rounded out the Top 5.
I'd also like to congratulate Ben T Iron, Campo Kid, Cash Jackson, Deadwood Miner, Outcast, Randy Atcher, Sheriff Frank Canton and Sunflower Kid for all shooting "Clean Matches".

I'd also like to Congratulate one of our pards from West Tennessee, Dew R Dye for winning Ladies Wrangler Category at End Of Trail.

This news was sent to me by Cody Kid;
This past Friday the last and only-known picture of "Billy the Kid", which was an Upham Tin Type, Circa 1879-1880, sold at auction for $2.6 million. There were orginally four Tin Types Billy had made and gave to friends. The other three were all destroyed. I thought some of the cowboys and cowgirls would be interested in this information.
I am sorry to miss the July 2nd shoot. I'm waiting for cooler weather.
Your pard,
Ron
"Cody Kid"
