Nope. It Didn’t Rain During the December Shoot!

It rained the night before the December Shoot, and the morning of the shoot, in places. One of those places was the Cleveland range. And then it got close to shoot time, and the rain stopped. The temperature was mild and the sun even came out for a while. All in all, it was a very good shoot. If you missed it, you missed a good one, and a challenging one. The December Match results don’t count in all the accumulated data for Annual Awards, so it can be a bit unusual, at times. This was one of those times. Stage 3, “Horseshoe’s Revenge”, was a good one, if you like to shoot at targets that are smaller than a car door and farther away than the distance from your steering wheel to your trunk. The rifle targets were out as far as they could go inside range of 3, and 1 of them was rather small. And the pistol targets were out a bit farther than usual, about the distance that the core group used to shoot when we first started Cowboy Shooting. 1 of the pistol targets was also small, and 2 were the steel cowboys. Someone said that whatever Horseshoe John was getting revenge for that if he’d tell what it was, they’d personally see that it never happened again. Deadman was the only shooter who hit all the targets on stage 3, but he shot 1 of the cowboy targets out of order and got a procedural. Of course a couple of people decided to try shooting Outlaw, and they were really surprised when they got to stage 3, hip shooting at those small targets.

After the shooting was done and the range targets were back in the target houses, shooters and guests met at the Golden Corral, where several folks who couldn’t shoot joined us. After lunch, the Annual Christmas Shoot and Family Event Continued. See page 2 for more about it.
