Fantastic! That’s A Good Description Of The February Shoot.

 

The February Shoot was a good one, and it you missed it, you were 1 of a few, because 82 shooters came out to play the game. The stages were interesting and fast moving, the weather was good, if a mite chilly in the a.m., and we had a number of young shooters with us.  And that’s good. After all, some of us, like Marshal Too Tall, are getting a bit older. In fact if you look at the score page in this edition and compare it to a year ago, look how many folks have moved from 49er to Senior and how many Seniors have moved to Silver Senior. The best way to confirm that is to look at the competition in the 49er ranks. That used to be the home territory of the terrible threesome: Marshal Too Tall, Festus D. Deputy and Ocoee Red. Well, things have changed. Another change is that for the 2nd shoot in a row, Anita Margarita is the Top Gun, not just the Top Cowgirl Shooter.

In the photo both Anita Margarita and Marshal W.D. are dressed to dazzle viewers and the targets. In many of the movies we grew up watching, the gunslick came to town dressed in black, guns tied down, silver conchos on their gunbelts, and confident they could beat anyone in town. Take a look: don’t they look just the same?

 

Do you notice anything about Anita Margarita and Marshal W.D.? They’re color coordinated. Anita has a green garter on her left arm and shoots green shotgun shells. Marshal W.D. has red flashes on his B-Western shirt and shoots matching red shotgun shells. How ‘bout that?

 

The Top 10 Shooters were (1) Anita Margarita (2) Marshal W.D. (3) Unpleasant (4) Ocoee Red (5) Marshal Too Tall (6) Purly (7) Festus D. Deputy (8) Pleasant (9) Clancy O’Conall and (10) Fast Harley. 8 shooters shot matches with no misses: Purly, Festus D. Deputy, Pleasant, Horseshoe John, Hide Cutter, Deadman, Sundance McNeyman and Ghost Wolf.
