SMVS Inaugural shoot.....Pretty darn good!!

[Ottawa Creek Bill]

Our first shoot got off to a fun start today. We had 13 shooters and four or five spectators two of which will be new members soon. This is what we expected since about half our members were at the SASS State shoot today and they had already paid their entry fees several months ago.

We knew that not many of the boys from Modoc (GLF&MCO) would be here for our first shoot because they had a contractual reenactment to do today and tomorrow....hopefully they will visit us next month, we shoot every fourth Saturday of the month. Bob Chenault (French Jack) made it to the shoot all the way from Kentucky.

Everyone had a good time... we shot three stages and a woods walk and went up on the top range to shoot some long range buffalo in the afternoon.  We should have the scores posted on our web site some time this week. Dutch Limbach took some photos that will be posted on our web page this week, and I plan to post some video here that I took today.

By the way...my son William won the woods walk and shot a perfect 10 out of 10, and my son in law Austin hit 9 out of 10...The targets were not easy....ask those that shot it. The guys that had never shot a woods walk really liked the shooting.

My wife Patty made a big pot of chili and my daughter Margaret helped serve the food. Hope to see you all at our range in the near future.

Some time next year....we may be ready to host a regional shoot.

Bill and all the crew-- You did a bang-up job!  Great time and a lot of fun, especially as i got to heckle the shooters on the woods walk.  I'm looking forward to the next one. 

Congrats again on the fun time and nice range.  You all did a lot of work.  Pat and Margaret did a bragging rights job on the chili and fixings.

Regards,
French Jack

We all had a great time.  Bill, Tony, Jeff, William and Dave have all done a great job preparing the grounds for our first shoot.  The setting is really fantastic.  Bill's wife and daughter did a great job with lunch.  I for one was famished after the morning shoot.  Thanks to Bill and Dutch for the fine photograpy.  Nothing says as much about a shoot as pictures and videos. The woods walk was really fun as I got to use my 56-50 Spencer on those targets.  I look forward to the next shoot.  Regards.  Deadeye.

Dutch.....
I want to say Gitchi MeGwetch (A big Thanks) to you for all the work you've done on our web site..It looks real nice.

Glad everyone had a good time...William and I won't be there next month as we will be in the mountains of Montana dong a little Wapiti...and Muley hunting, but we'll be thinking about you.

Congrats Bill, Dave, Tony and all on your inaugural shoot. Looks like a grand time was had by all.

Looks like another great new NCOWS posse taking shape with a "twist" toward a creative shooting format.

Well done.

Wow, great to see the 'mug shots' of all the membership like that.

[Steel Horse Bailey]

It was a great shoot and Dutch has done a SUPER   job on the website.

[Ottawa Creek Bill]

Wow, great to see the 'mug shots' of all the membership like that.

RCJ......
Actually thats NOT all the members...we have at present 26 members that for various reasons couldn't make it to this shoot..most will be at our next shoot in October sans my son William and myself..we'll be headed to Montana.

Within the next two weeks we'll probably add another eight members, all of which are required to join NCOWS to be a member of our posse. Of the members we have now, nine are new NCOWS members that have joined within the last two months because of the convenience of our location.

Our goal is to maintain a 100% NCOWS posse

John,

Just because your picture is a "mug shot" doesn't mean that the photo of the fine folks at the shoot are too!   I try to avoid having my picture taken, for obvious reasons.
