OCTOBER HAPPENINGS

October is a colorful month, usually, although our colors haven’t peaked yet.  The orange, yellow, and red leaves and different colored light of fall make it sorta magic. Pumpkins are in the fields for little goblins, like Vicious Nick and Marshal Too Tall, to gather and carve into jack-o-lanterns to celebrate Halloween. We celebrated Halloween on the range with orange and black targets, some even on the revolving Texas star. Our October shoot was a dandy, with several new shooters participating. In all, 64 shooters ventured out on what started out as a chilly morning, but warmed up from either the sun or the muzzle blasts and gun smoke of our shootin’ irons.
