  With so many stages this year (Some will be shot with only 1 gun, and will be quick) the written test, and talent contest have been eliminated.

Maybe this has been approved, but I thought that all NCOWS Regional & National shoots had to offer all NCOWS approved classes.  Am I wrong?

Books,

There is also working cowboy.

I read the by-laws to state that there are the exact same classes for women as there are for men.  Not just one women's class.

Therefore there is Working Cowgirl, Women's Originals (with three present) Womens Smokeless Shootist, Womens Smokeless Duelist, Womens Black Powder Duelist, Women's Black Powder Shootist, Women's Pistoleer, Women's Senior,and Women's Elder.

Also there are only 4 classes that shoot only two guns: Working Cowboy, Working Cowgirl, Original's mens and Original's Women.

[Bow View Haymaker]

Correct me if wrong (happens alot)  but I don't think that NCOWS requires stage design to use all guns on every stage.  SASS doesn't either for that matter.  I like the idea of this match.  More variety in shooting scenarios.  great idea for clubswith limited targets.  or small bays.  Maybe an answer ot the catagorie restructering arguments going on.
just my view from hear.

[Books OToole]

Correct me if wrong (happens alot)  but I don't think that NCOWS requires stage design to use all guns on every stage. 

That is correct.*

And awards will be given to the winners of EVERY NCOWS Class.  (We will probably wave the minimum of three pre-registrations for the class to be viable.)

*At the NCOWS National match last year, Stage 10, all shooters only shot one pistol.  Although most match directors are stuck in the 10-10-4 rutt.

how did the shoot go?jefff

[Books OToole]

Great!  We had three days of great weather, in a row.

We had a new Junior Shooter (who out shot alot of the adults).  He seemed to have fun and I think he will come back.

Col. Diamond, once again, won the NCOWS Double-Action Championship. (The fourth time in five years.)
Trap took second with myself taking third.

I think Dave Vanderpool posted some photos on the NCOWS facebook page.

Great weather, great food and great friends; and all at the range with a fun shoot: I couldn't ask for a better way to spend my birthday.
