Announcements and Happenings

 

             Rattlesnake’s Den         

 

    Howdy Pards, this here is Ole Rattlesnake a’scribblin to ya.  The May two-day match was certainly a fun shoot, especially for those who were able to shoot both days.  May was a big month for matches.  We had the Senior Olympics at Puratory, the Mississippi State match at Smokin’ Guns at Rabbit Ridge and lastly, Mule Camp.  We had Bounty Hunters at all of these events, and they represented our club well.  We will also see some of our members going to End of Trail.

 

           Hangin’ is fast coming upon us, and I am sure that the “Three Witches” are looking for support to make it come off seamlessly.  Please get in touch with them, and volunteer for one of the committees.  This year we will host the Louisiana State Championship, and need to put on a first class show as we always do.

 

            I want to encourage members to submit stages for our monthly matches.  I review all the stages submitted, and will make necessary changes should they be necessary.  There is no magic to writing a stage, just your imagination.  If you are

interested and want some pointers give me a call.  Or attend the next RO

and stage design class.

 

           The June match will soon be upon us.  Be prepared to bang ‘em

and clang ‘em.  I look forward to seeing you all.  May the Good Lord

take ‘ shinin to ya, an remember to keep yore powder dry.

Text Box: Stage Sponsorships and Shooter Prizes
 for Hangin’ at Coyote Creek
	An area where we could use assistance is in obtaining stage sponsors for the state match.  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: Mounted Cowboy Action Shooting  is an exciting new equestrian sport that combines elements of old-time Wild West Show exhibition shooting in the tradition of Buffalo Bill and Annie Oakley, along with cavalry drills, barrel racing, historical reenactments, and Saturday afternoon Westerns. Mounted Cowboy Action Shooting is a direct outgrowth of SASS® and is a natural progression for those cowboys and cowgirls who want to bring horses into their fantasy of the Wild West!
Contestants in the mounted shooting competition (men and women) use two .45 caliber single action revolvers loaded with five rounds each of specially prepared SASS® approved black powder blanks to shoot ten reactionary targets (balloons) from horseback while riding a specified course of travel or an Old West type scenario.   Unexpended granules of black powder exiting the barrel of the gun will ordinarily break a balloon out to a range of ten feet. Riders are timed through the course and each missed balloon adds five seconds to the rider's raw time. The contestant who rides the fastest and shoots the straightest will win.
