August 22nd 2009 COMMENTS FROM CAP Saturday, August 22nd, proved to be a
great day to be outside. It started out cool with heavy dew and it kept
getting better. Although we didn’t have a large turnout (35) those that
were there seemed to really enjoy the mild temperatures and slight breeze. Kathy Hansen, a reporter from the Ames Tribune came
out after lunch to check us out and wrote a nice article published in their
Sunday edition. It isn’t often gun enthusiasts get positive publicity
so this is a refreshing article. We had several new shooters and that’s great!
I know it is difficult and somewhat intimidating when you venture out of your
comfort zone to try something different. But remember, we ALL were there at one
time. Gun and equipment problems seemed to plague our
posse on the first stage, but once that was solved the rest of the day went
well. I love to see the smile on a shooter’s face when they just shot a
clean or good stage. We had interesting stages thanks to Marshall and
Miss Kitty Morris for writing them. Also thanks to those that showed up
the Saturday before the match to move targets, paint targets, etc. We
want to give a big hand to the ones that come early the day of the shoot to
help set up, do registrations, put props on the stages, etc.; and for those
that stay after the match to pick things up and put them away. This is
the “Cowboy Way”. Don’t forget, the dates for our next shoot have been
moved up to September 12th, the SECOND SATURDAY. This was done to accommodate the 3 day
shoot in Logan. See you next time, God willing and the creek don’t
rise. Cap |
