Title: Great lakes freight and mining company
Post by: Cant Getrite on November 29, 2024, 03:55:30 PM
Is the Great Lakes Freight and mining company still an active ncows posse?
I can't seem to find much information about them.

 I'd like to know too.  It's the closest to me.

Posses are listed on the NCOWS.com website (go to bottom of page and click on 'posses').  This indicates that Oct.6 was their last shoot of the season.  The Posse events listings in the Shootist magazine agrees.  There is contact information listed here:

I've emailed,  sent a message on Facebook and called the number listed. The phone number is no longer in service. No reply from email or fb.

They are still a viable posse.  I will try to contact the Marshall and get him to check CASCity.

Yes, GLFMC is still an active NCOWS posse, although smaller and somewhat less active than it used to be.

Our local membership has fallen somewhat due to attrition — several members have passed away, some have found the Scarlet Mask club to be closer to them, etc.

The Marshal there is Bill Allen aka "Will Henry" but family health issues are consuming a great deal of his time at the moment.

Are there specific questions that you have? I'll be happy to try to answer as many as I can. You can email me at — irishdave5857@aol.com

Great posse!   If I still lived in Indiana I would be in Modoc shooting.

I've shot there a few times through the years. A fun place to shoot at and a very friendly group of Pards. I really felt welcome at the GLFMC.

With much regret, I have just learned that at the moment GLF&MC is inactive as an NCOWS posse.  There are apparently some discussions about resurrecting the club, but it apparently has no events, or other activities planned at this time.

Sad indeed
