The November Shoot Was Cold, But It Was Good!
Would you believe that the November Shoot Day was the coldest day in the Chattanooga area on record for Nov. 22nd? If you don’t, take it up with the Rev. Adam Jones. He said he heard that on the radio on the way to the shoot. But then he was riding with Sledge, and Sledge talks a little. 63 shooters ventured out to the range, but the cold drove 4 of ‘em back to the ranch house: 1 evidently took his score sheet with him. This was our Turkey Shoot, and 5 cowboys won turkeys, shooting a .22 cal. rifle on stage 2.
Slater was the Top Gun for November, and Last Kiss was the Top Cowgirl Shooter, placing 3rd in overall Gunfighter competition. The Buffalo Shoot was chilly, but Tin Pot once again won the 100 Yard Pistol Shoot. Marshal Too Tall won the Single Shot Rifle and .22 Cal. Competitions. And Sundance McNeyman, undaunted by shivers and frosty breath, won the Lever Action Rifle event.
The Top 10 Shooters were (1) Slater (2) Festus D. Deputy (3) Unpleasant (4) Marshal Too Tall (5) Ocoee Red (6) Fiddleback (7) Polecat Carl (8) Fast Harley (9) Purly and (10) Pleasant. 11 Shooters shot matches with no misses: Festus D.

DECEMBER – ANNUAL OCOEE RANGERS’ CHRISTMAS SHOOT & FAMILY EVENT
December is the month of the Annual Ocoee Rangers Christmas Shoot and Family Event. After we shoot 3 stages, we’ll pack up the targets in the target house and ride over to the Golden Corral Restaurant where we’ll have a Dutch treat lunch, award Annual Awards and draw for prizes.
Bring your spouse, special person and young’uns to meet the folks your shoot with. If the weather’s too uncomfortable, you or your guests can come to the Event without attending the Shoot. Some folks dress a little special for Christmas. If you haven’t attended in the past, come and join us. You’ll enjoy yourself.
