Wartrace Regulators Feb. Make-up Match

February has been a bad month for trying to get a match in so we decided to have a Make-up Match, the first I can remember. Well sometimes you catch a break and it turned out to be a Great day for February. We had a Long Range Match (their normal weekend), a Wild Bunch Match and a Cowboy Match, all going on at the same time.

I started my trend from last year and had to go to work and then come to the match, fortunately I got there in time to join in on stage 2, stay with the posse the rest of the day and make up stage 1 at the end.

Whiskey Hayes wrote a fast and fun match with Yosemite Sam featured in every story line. We had 17 Cowboys and Cowgirls.

Cumberland Drifter was the Top Gun of the day for the Cowboys with a blazing time of  101.53, followed by Ben T Iron, Knob Creek Drover, Randy Saint Eagle and Tombstone John rounded out the Top 5.

Congratulations to Cumberland Drifter, Ben T Iron, Imis Twohofon and Cody Kid for shooting "Clean" matches.

The next Watrace Match will be next weekend with our March 2 Cowboy Match and according to weather.com it looks like we might be able to get this on in, we'll keep our fingers crossed.

Get out and travel to a match somewhere, it's great to see how other folks do things and support other clubs.

Happy Trails, until we meet again.

Green River Gunslingers

Cheyenne Thornton, Sheriff Frank Canton, Papa Dave, Cumberland Drifter, Tombstone John, and I went to shoot with the Green River Gunfighters today. We met up with Dodge City Dixie, Reno Mustang and CW Knight. It was the first time I'd been up to visit Yak, Leadbone, Poncho and all the Gunslingers in a couple of years.

The morning was cool but it was sunny. Yak had some good straight forward stages with no "P" traps. A couple had 6 shotgun targets, but the biggest challenge was stage 5. You had to double tap sweep the rifle targets which were big and close except for target 5 which was out at about 50 yards, but it was big and very hittable. I went into the last stage clean and was a little worried about that distant rifle target, but I slowed down, aimed and managed to hit it with both shots.

Several of the stages ended up with pistol and they were great for me shooting Double Duelist style, I could holster both pistols off the clock. Yak sometimes has some moving targets and other fun things but since the weather can be questionable this time of year,  he kept these stages fast. I shot my first sub 16 second stage ever.

We had one first time Cowboy Action shooter on our posse and I think he did well for his first match. Welcome Dusty Streets, I hope you had a ball.

We had two posses and we were finished shooting before 1pm. Cumberland Drifter was the "Top Gun" of the day followed by Randy Saint Eagle, CW Knight, Papa Dave and Yak rounded out the top 5.

I also like to say Congratulations to those, who shot clean matches they are listed below the scores.

Those of you who know Papa Dave know that when we travel we have to stop for ice cream, so on the way home we made a detour to the DQ but I still got home about as early as I do from a Wartrace match.

If you have the second Saturday of the month free head to Bowling Green and shoot with Yak and the Green River Gunslingers.

The Mid-Month Wartrace Cowboy/Wild Bunch Match will be this coming Saturday Feb. 16, weather permitting. For more info always check out our website.
