It was a hot day for a Cowboy Shoot, but 35 brave souls ventured out to give it a try. We had one brand new cowboy, Cheyenne Thornton, that joined us today. I think he enjoyed it in spite of the heat. Congratulations to Papa Dave, our Top Gun for the day, followed by Duck River, Will Reilly, Farmer Buck Dodgers and Whiskey Hayes round out the top five cowboys. They will also make up the Shootist Category for September. 

It will probably still be hot in 2 weeks for the mid-month match. Hopefully we'll catch a break from the heat for the September match. 

A few of us are going to Memphis for their Aug. 9th match, the last chance to check out the range before A Gunfight In Dixie in September.

Scattergun Kid has the Scores posted for our August Match.  Scores

Thanks to Farmer Buck Dodgers, Joe K and Scattergun Kid for helping me take pictures

May all your bangs end with a clang.

We had 30 shooters show up to defend Wartrace, it was a hot day and got hotter when the lead started to fly. In the end I think we all won, and sent the outlaws packing one more time. Rumor has it they plan to regroup and come back in a couple of weeks. But we'll be ready for them we're sending out a call for more back-up as well. Calling all Wartrace Regulators if you didn't make this fight come out on the first Saturday in August and we'll run the outlaws off again. We can always use more help, anyone who can shoot a gun, we'll welcome your help as well.

 A special thanks to Buck Dodgers for taking many of these pictures.
