Howdy Buckaroos and
Happy New Year!!!

Our shoot this month is the 14th and 15th. Because the month started on a Sun., it makes it a 2nd Saturday
and 3rd Sunday.
I'm sorry I missed our last shoot. I caught a bug and couldn't make it. I trust ya'll had a good ol'time.
The Seawolf Long Range Challenge has been moved to Feb. So bring your long guns and practice this shoot.
Deer season is over, so we are back to our regular schedule.
Shoot straight and keep your powder dry!
Famous Quotes of Gunmen
Just prior to his hanging, Bill Longley was asked how he had managed for so long to avoid death and capture and said, "Because I never had any confidence in nobody." He saw a "good many enemies around and mighty few friends." After 32 killings he wrote a last note to a girl that said, "Hanging is my favorite way of dying." He died at 27 years of age in Texas, 1877.
Clay Allison once said after killing a man whom he had taken to dinner with the intention of making him his 8th victim, "I didn't want to send a man to hell on an empty stomach." A man with a colorful career at being a fast gun, he met an inglorious end when a wagon wheel rolled over and broke his neck in Pecos, Texas July 1, 1887.
Wyatt Earp stated that trick shooting didn't decide a gunfight. It was an axiom among gunfighters that a man who won a shoot-out was the man who took his time. "Shooting at a man who is returning the compliment means going into action with the greatest speed of which a man's muscles are capable, but mentally unflustered by an urge to hurry or the need for complicated nervous and muscular actions which trick shooting involves." He died a healthy 81 in Los Angeles, California, January 13, 1929.

How Easterners See A Gunfighter
Excerpt from a "5 Novel" dated 1895: "...His every movement was characterized by a careless abandon and tiger-like grace that were beautiful to see. He wore a white sombrero, one side of the brim looped back with a cluster of dazzling brilliants. He was clad in the picturesque clothing of a Mexican hacendado.
His short jacket was dark velvet, the buttons consisting of silver dollars, each polished to a mirror-like brightness and set with a diamond. About the waist was a red silk sash, the ends heavy with gold galoon and falling from a graceful knot at the side.
The wide 'Greaser' trousers were laced up the outer seams with glittering cord, and the youth's feet were incased in patent-leather shoes at whose heels dangled a pair of silver spurs with immense rowels." His name is Bertie Wade, of the lion-heart, otherwise known as, Diamond Dick Jr.

Help Wanted
A sheriff was looking for a deputy, so a cowboy went in to try out for the job. "OK," the sheriff said, "what is 1 and 1?" "11" the cowboy replied.
"What two days of the week start with the letter 'T'?" "Today and Tomorrow." "Now the last one. Who killed Abraham Lincoln?"The cowboy thought really hard and finally said, "I don't know." "Well, why don't you go home and work on that?" the sheriff suggested. So, the cowboy went home and his wife asked him how it went. The cowboy replied, "Great! He already put me on a murder case!"
