Volume 7, Issue No. 6 June 2009
Stage No. 1 Separated The Faint Hearts From The Take A Dares!
The June Shoot was warm: very warm. And the humidity was noticeable. But the shoot was great, especially Stage No. 1. Cowboys & cowgirls had swinging targets to shoot with pistols and rifles and knock-downs to shoot with shotguns. You know the swingers we shoot: the ones with the round circle at the top connected with a rectangle to the base. True hearts amongst the shooters shot the round circles, and the faint hearts, well they shot the rectangle at the base so they could triple tap the target. They couldn’t do that if they hit the round circle. Festus D. Deputy is a True Hearted Shooter. One of our top shooters, he shot the circles and shot the stage clean. It took him a few seconds longer to sweep the targets, but he demonstrated the “Spirit of the Game” in the way he addressed his targets. Some other top shooters may have done the same. But this word scratcher saw Festus shoot his stage.
