Some of us were complaining about the rain, as we unlimbered our gear, but the Rev. Adam Jones said, “Quit complaining. It’s not shoot time yet. It’ll stop before we shoot.” And it did. The sun even came out, and for the 61 shooters who came and stayed to shoot, 1 left, it was a good shoot. The stages were fast, and more than 1 Gunfighter said that the stages were really good for Gunfighters. And there were lots of Gunfighters: 8 of them, including Last Kiss. She shot in the Gunfighter class. In fact, she placed 3rd in Gunfighter competition and 6th overall. Of the 61 shooters, 7 of them were lady shooters.
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.
