Download: Match Report Blank Form – Cowboy Action
WELL HEY HOWDY THERE BUCKAROOS! AND A HAP, HAP, HAPPY NEW YEAR TO Y’ALL! This here’s yer favorite holiday hodad, Doc Silverhawks, with a reportin of the goins on at our High Desert Cowboys monthly shootin shindig fer January. Well sirs, we barely had us a match at all, with only three brave souls turnin out to share in what turned out to be a fine and fun filled day. It must have been a combination of New Year’s Day bein on the first Sunday, which almost got yers truly, and the fact that we have been havin us some powerfull strong weather as of late, that kept most folks at home and indoors. Well, I am here to tell y’all that it were a BEAUTIFUL day, with full sun, mild temperatures and almost nonexistent breezes, and if you weren’t out doin what it is you love to do, you let a good one get by. We shot four fun filled stages and just plain had us a really good time whilst two, very patient, members waited for us to finish up so’s they could shoot. THANK YOU GUYS! Way to show the Desert Marksmen spirit! I’ll tell you one thing, havin only three shooters made for plenty of shootin of the bull as well as shootin of the steel, ifen ya know what I mean! Anyway, once the shootin had stopped and steel had been wrangled, we skipped havin ourselves an opportunity drawing and made a bee line straight fer our favorite cantina. As always, ifen yer interested in Cowboy Action, or ifen ya just wanna come up and watch, well, you’d be more than welcome. So, until next time, keep yer powder dry, keep yer wagon wheels out of the ruts, and we will see you, On The Range!
Yer Pard
