September Match Results

Lady Viper — Sun, 26 Sep 2010 23:08:34 +0000

Autumn hit us with a cool and wet rush on Sunday but it stayed dry during our match. We had 31 shooters in 2 posses, but only 6 clean shooters for the day.

We shot 5 challenging stages written by Match Director Don Jorge, with numerous options for the shooter, including the now-infamous “Crazy 11″ stage calling for 11 shots with at least one from each gun.

Nearby Lick Creek stayed in its banks for the match this time. Thanks to everyone who helped set up and tear down the stages before and after the match.

September Scores are posted.
We hope to see you in October for our last outdoor match of the season…

Old West Reenactors Wanted

Lady Viper — Sun, 19 Sep 2010 23:24:18 +0000

If you’d like to “play cowboy” as a cowboy or cowgirl reenactor or a lady or gentleman from the 1800’s in central Illinois, join us at the Clayville Fall Festival.

Clayville is the site of the historic Broadwell Tavern & Inn [left] which was a stagecoach stop in the 1800’s. The Pleasant Plains Historical Society is restoring the site and celebrating with a Fall Festival.

Clayville Fall Festival
Old West Reenactment Gunfight Show
Saturday, Oct 2, 2010

There will be two cowboys shows each day. Cowboys and cowgirls in western outfits are needed. This should be fun for all and a chance to introduce festival-goers to our game of Cowboy Action Shooting.

For more information, see the Clayville Historic Site web site or contact Turquoise Tony. More information will be available at the Long Nine Monthly Match on Sept. 26, 2010.
