NCOWS National Shoot-June 6, 7 and 8. KVC Hosting

Mogorilla · December 11, 2023, 07:46:03 AM

Hello everyone,
KVC had our December social gathering and meeting. It was a great time and we got a lot accomplished.

First and and foremost, we started organizing for nationals.

1. We are planning on shortening the shoot by a day. Proposed schedule:
Thursday June 6 will start with the long range shoot at 8:30 and go to Noon. Break for lunch and we will go to the main range for the side matches (already in progress). The side matches will start in the morning for those not wanting the heaping dose of humility that comes with the long range shooting. Side matches can be shot through the afternoon at a nice leisurely pace.

2. Main shoot will be just like the previous years, Friday and Saturday. With the banquet to follow.

3. for now, the shoot through is scheduled for the prior Sunday and Monday. (june 2 and 3) We are hoping several of you would like to come early and do the shoot through to give us extra stage marshalls.

More information will be coming soon as we work out the forms and such. Also we will be able to post dates for the Jerry Barnes Memorial Shoot and the Buffalo Shoot. keep your eyes on the horizon for more info.

If the Good Lord is willing, Kay and I will be there for the shoot through. She will be glad to help you and Dan with the scoring etc.

Are you having the Cap and Ball side match this year?

Mogorilla · May 30, 2024, 12:09:17 PM

I do not believe anyone is putting it on this year. Dan is doing a sort of old fashioned shooting gallery. Dan and I put the cap and ball on last year, but until last thursday i did not think i would make it due to work issues. I get to come, but sadly as of Thursday, there are no work issues. )-:

Ok thanks

bushwhacker · June 04, 2024, 09:05:54 AM

How did the shoot through go. See you guys tomorrow night.

I should be there late afternoon tomorrow also. Does anyone have a lb of 231 or unique they would part with?

I do but unfortunately, not with me. We have been here since Saturday.

River City John · June 04, 2024, 01:59:24 PM

Any side matches that may require a deringer?

Mogorilla · June 04, 2024, 07:17:36 PM

As you did not answer in the affirmative I will not pack one.

Mogorilla · June 05, 2024, 08:55:53 AM

Sorry, could not resist the Yancy comment At this point I am not sure of the side matches

Tascosa Joe · June 05, 2024, 08:27:01 PM

We had the shoot thru today. My almost 80 yr old butt is dragging. I think everyone will have a good time.

Tascosa Joe · June 07, 2024, 07:54:39 PM

We shot 6 stages today with few problems. I think everyone is having a good time. Thanks to the KVC for putting on a great shoot for the 2024 Nationals.

Tascosa Joe · June 09, 2024, 11:53:20 AM

It's over. Thanks to all the hard work of the KVC folks it was a success. Great banquet as usual. And we dodged the weather bullet. I started raining about 10:45 and stopped sometime after 6 AM. I think Marshall Hoker was the last to leave the range. He said they received 3 1/2" at the range and the creek covered the targets.

Again thanks to all.

I'm excited to hear, the National may return east @ Nashville Ind,

I can see myself making the trip in "2025"

Abilene · June 09, 2024, 12:58:54 PM

Sounds like y'all really did dodge a weather bullet!

Thanks for the reports - hope to see some pics or videos. I'm getting closer to being able to travel and make it to some of these events.

Yes Joe! Another Great National hosted by the KVC, many Thanks for all your hard work! Thanks also to Mother Nature, who changed the heavy rain forecasted for Saturday, to Saturday night. Other than being a little muggy by noon on Saturday, we were blessed with beautiful weather for the shoot. Although I could have used a bit more breeze on a couple stages, to blow the target obscuring smoke out of the way. Woods, shade,blackpowder smoke and white targets makes for a fine challenge! 😊 B.N.

Thanks to all who put on our annual National shoot. Jenny and I were the last to leave, and we definitely
did not dodge the weather. Hours of thunder and lightning, 3 1/2" of rain, very restless night in a wall
tent. One we will remember!!! It's a very good thing we were done shooting, because Sunday would have
been a mess.
