             It is with great sorrow that we say adios to our dear friend, Coyote Calhoun AKA Lamar Shelnutt.  We have been pardners since the middle 90’s when we first crossed paths in the early days of Mule Camp.  I can say that through the years this was truly one of the finest cowboys to grace the range.  Coyote Calhoun was more than just a Wild Bunch member but a true friend to those he met.  The cowboy way was his motto.  In past years, he has honored us with his presence and cowboy spirit at Hangin’ at Coyote Creek.  Coyote’s enthusiasm, energy, and creativity have been vital to SASS and will surely be missed.

 

             For those new to this shooting sport, Coyote Calhoun was a Wild Bunch member and Hall of Fame inductee who passed away suddenly September 20th while attending to business at SASS’ New Mexico Headquarters. He had assumed many of the major SASS business responsibilities for the past few years. Coyote Calhoun was the SASS National Programs Director and Marketing Director. He was a co-founder of the Shootout at Mule Camp, the first SASS Regional Championship, and, as a member of the Magnificent Seven, received the SASS Spirit Award in 1999. Coyote began working for SASS in 1999, bringing consistency and enthusiasm to the SASS National Shooting Program. He was part of the development of the SASS Range Operations Safety Courses and served on the SASS Range Operations Committee. He was an outspoken advocate of the “B” Western shooting category. In 2004, Coyote received the prestigious “Top Hand” award and was inducted into the Cowboy Action Shooting™ Hall of Fame in 2009. 

 

             As his best pard, San Quinton, so tenderly stated, “Adios PARDNER. I know Hoppy, Gene, Roy and Tom have greeted you with a Cowboy Howdy and welcomed you to their camp fire. Ride easy and keep an eye on us until we meet again.”.

Text Box: Range Officer II Class We will be offering a Range Officer II Class on Saturday, October 29 at the Mississippi Peacemaker range in Mendenhall, MS. The class will begin at 9:00 a.m. and the cost of the class is $25.00. There is a classroom presentation, as well as a practicum on the shooting range. However, you will not need to bring any guns. If you would like to audit this RO II class, you can do so at no charge. For registration, please contact Soiled Dove at soileddove@bellsouth.net.

Text Box: Youth Program Cowboy Action Shooting We have developed a youth program to introduce our sport to young shooters under the supervision of qualified range officers. A parent/guardian must be present during shooting on the range. Our first planned event will be Sunday, Sept. 9th from 1:00 to 5:00 at our range. Please spread the word to youngsters you may know ! Our Goal: To introduce young people to the pleasures and responsibilities of the shooting sports within the framework of the traditional Old West while using single action revolvers, rifles and a shot gun. Our #1 priority is SAFETY. There will be qualified firearms instructors present and local range officers of the Bayou Bounty Hunters to assist in developing the shooting skills of these young folks. Our intent is to provide a family-friendly shooting environment which can be enjoyed by all.
