Colonel Allison Was Back & Mongo’s Gun Cart Ran Away!
Attendance was down a bit: 55 shooters attended. May is a month of competition for attendance. Hooten Old Town had their KY & TN State Black Powder Shoot, and the Shoot Out at Mule Camp, the largest SASS regional shoot east of the Mississippi, was held just south of Atlanta. Both events drew some regular Ocoee Rangers, as they expanded their horizons. Some shot in the events, and others visited vendor booths, both worthy activities. While out on our range, Colonel Allison returned. He’s having physical problems and can’t shoot yet, but he manned a loading table and did his usual super job at it. And for comic relief, Mongo’s gun cart ran away. It’s true. He has 1 of those converted baby carriage carts with big tires that roll easily, and he left it pointed downhill. And away it ran, just like a team of movie horses pulling a wagon. Of course he was a bit slower chasing it down than the movie cowboys on horseback.
T-Bones Posse - Front L-R: Shenandoah Will, Awful Close, T-Bone Angus, Widowmaker. Back L-R: Dusty Camino, Tio Don, Purly, Wildcat Wilkey, Delta Desperado, Tennessee Mongo, Polecat Carl, Slater.
