Mule Camp  -  May, 2007

           by Apache Belle                                 

 

     At the end of May, several of the Bayou Bounty Hunters traveled to Mule Camp in Covington, Georgia.  A black powder match was shot Thursday morning, side matches Thursday afternoon and six stages were shot on Friday and six stages on Saturday.  The shooters shot either morning on Friday (7:30 a.m.) and afternoon (12:30 p.m.) on Saturday, or afternoon on Friday and morning on Saturday.  We managed to get the best shooting schedule.  We shot Friday afternoon, which was warm, but comfortable, and allowed us to sleep in and still have time to check out the vendors.  Saturday morning was cool, but not enough for Emmitt to take out the buffalo coat.  When you weren’t shooting, you could walk into “town” – a large area up the hill where the food, clothing, gun, leather, etc. vendors are assembled.  There were also entertainers in the “big tent” and around the grounds, such as a medicine show, a fast draw shooter, a magician, and several singers.  A schedule of who was doing what and where was included in your packet. 

 

      This shoot was very well organized and a lot of fun.  We did tire of the somewhat long walks and the rocks which I think were supposed to be gravel.  The stages are cut into the hill and were a pleasant walk downhill or an unpleasant walk uphill depending on your direction and the temperature.  They were quick, but still fun.  The theme of the match was scenes from Lonesome Dove, so we got to say some of the great lines from the movie such as, “We don’t rent pigs!” while standing next to a wagon and holding a plastic pig.  There was a really fun stage which included the Texas Star (I’m sure we’ll see that shooting sequence on our range in the future!). 

 

     Many of our fellow shooters managed to bring home Mule Camp belt buckles and one our very own BBHs (Tobin Kid) brought home two!!!  Here are the results best I could extract the info from the Mule Camp website:

The stage sponsors will have an advertisement section in the shooter booklet which is presented to every shooter and they can display a banner at the range. They can also provide flyer information which we will insert in the shooter packets, which are distributed to all shooters upon arrival. If you know of anyone who is interested in sponsoring a stage, please contact Cameo Rose for additional information. A stage sponsorship is $200 in cash, prizes or gift certificate. (If several members would like to sponsor a stage, then their sponsorship would be printed in the shooter booklet.) We will again be collecting shooter prizes for distribution to the registered shooters at Hangin’. These can be brought to the club during monthly matches or bought on Wednesday nights. Runnin’ Rose has agreed to handle the shooter prizes and will be labeling and categorizing them prior to the match. Due to this process, we will need to have all prizes submitted at the latest by the October match. Text Box: SPECIAL NOTICE! A copy of the range rules which is given to and signed by all FPS (Florida Parishes Skeet) club members upon completion of range orientation was recently emailed to our general email directory. It is also being mailed with the June newsletters that are normally sent via regular mail. Additional copies are available at the range.  These range rules constitute a covenant between FPS and it members. However, some of the rules pertain to all members, (FPS, Bayou Bounty Hunters, and monthly guests). Therefore, I have been asked by the board to publish and make available these rules to all shooters. Being a Florida Parishes Skeet club member gives one extended shooting privileges seven days a week on our cowboy range and skeet shooting on Wednesday, Saturdays and Sundays.  Being a Bayou Bounty Hunter gives members shooting privileges on match days and other designated shooting days such as on workdays and scheduled Wed. night shoots.  However, there are certain range rules which are to be abided by all shooting participants. Of particular note, please be advised on Page of 3 of 4, under III. F. the following: “Alcohol is not allowed on the Cowboy range at any time unless a special occasion is dictated by the board. Any consumption of alcoholic beverages must be in areas behind the skeet range. Under no circumstances shall any member or guest engage in shooting on any of the ranges during or after consuming alcohol. A violation of these rules will result in losing range privileges and may result in loss club membership.. - - - - - - - - - - - If you have joined FPS and have not participated in this range orientation or have participated in range orientation and not signed the range rules, please contact Rattlesnake Blake or one of the club officers.

Wildlife and Fisheries Banquet

Saturday, August 18, 2007

Amite, LA

             Florida Parishes Skeet and Gun Association is proud to announce their annual event in August.  This event involves the Hunter Safety Course on Aug. 4th & 5th and the Wildlife and Fisheries Banquet on Aug. 18th.  This program not only supports the efforts of our Wildlife and Fisheries Department, but also supports the operations of the skeet club throughout the year.

            

             This Hunter Safety Course enables the club to educate young people to safely enjoy the sport of hunting, develop an appreciation for outdoor entertainment, and respect our natural resources.  If you know anyone who may be interested in taking the Hunter Safety Course, please spread the word about this important program  The course is free to everyone 10 years of age or older, and anyone born after 1970 must take this course in order to obtain a hunting license. (Free lunch is provided both days.)

            

             At the banquet on Aug. 18th, there will be $1,500 in cash drawings given away. (Ticket holder need not be present to win.)  The event begins at 5:00 p.m. with a cash bar and the program begins at 6:00 p.m. followed by a very nice dinner.  The cost of the ticket is $100 for two.  Through this event, the skeet club is able to maintain their operation throughout the year.  Therefore, it is vital to  our cowboy town that we support the skeet club in this effort.

 

             Tickets will be available at the monthly match if you are interested in supporting the Florida Parishes Skeet and Gun Association.
