January 2007 Edition

Howdy folks.

Well we have made it through another fine year and what a year it has been. Some could say it was just another year and others might agree but for some of us, well it went by just fine and dandy. I feel that if we are still able to get out and go shooting and having fun then it’s been a good year. Yea Haw. I know that some of us haven’t been able to get into the swing and do a lot of shooting and such for health reasons but I hope that this coming new year will be a whole lot better and everyone is healthy and happy.

Bo Bean and Bad Finger put on a super fast humdinger of a match this month and boy did it just fly by. Great job guys. There were some super fine scores received too. There were 3 possies Saturday and 4 Sunday and everyone had just a fine and dandy time shooting for sure. The nights were down right cold and those ole blankets sure felt mighty good after we finally got into them. The days were just beautiful but cool and couldn’t have been better.

Scores for this weekend's 5 Dogs Creek Match are posted on the website.

APRIL SWAP MEET
Dust off the guns, leather goods, clothing and other cowboy related items you are not using and turn them into CA$H at the swap meet during our April match. If you've been making new items and would like to sell them, that's okay too! You'll certainly find treasures to call your own if you bring along a little extra spending money.

APRIL MATCH
Both Saturday and Sunday matches in April will be 6 stages. Be sure to bring enough ammo so you can fully enjoy all six stages.

Sunshine Kid is are putting on the April match so be prepared to have a great time and be sure to bring extra ammo for the six stages each day and extra money for the swap meet too.

SOME FUN TIMES HAD THIS WEEKEND.

Even though I didn’t get any pictures of the event Bones brought out his branding irons and gave a very good demonstration of how to do some branding. There will be some new boxes sported around with the 5 Dogs brand on them. Great job Bones.
Many thanks to Double Shot Darlin for the following photos
HERE ARE SOME NEW FACES AND NEW SHOOTERS
We really enjoyed having these new shooters with us this month and hope they will continue to come play in our club and keep having fun.
WELCOME AROUND OUR CAMP FIRE
