When there’s an overabundance of surly copy paper hangin’ in any one area of Niles, Ohio - it needs perforatin’! Perforatin’ with some hot lead! – an’ who ya gonna call to do this perforatin’? Watchoo gonna do?
There’s only one thing you can do! You call for the current incarnation of the Lake Park Raiders! That’s whatcha do! And that’s exactly what happened on Thursday February 23rd in the year 2017! They came, they saw, and they perforated!
Twelve hawk-eyed sharp-shooters descended on the sleepy little town of Niles, Ohio with paper-perforatin’ on their minds! They shot the Hoot sweep, what a Hoot that was! - the Pinto Bean Kid sweep, that was a gas, the Diablo – that was a tricky devil, the Tall “T”( T for train-wreck!), and Mo’s Modified Cha Cha sweep. The hot Krazy Thom sweep had to have a day off to cool back down, sorry! Next time, maybe!
Thanks to everyone for all your help with setting up and sign-in, target sticking and brass picking, timer operation, the paperwork, and all the other large and small posse duties that are necessary to make a successful match. Thanks to Rattlesnake Ruby; he stopped in with his arm in a sling and “single handedly” dragged out tables to help us set up.
Big thanks to Shenango Joe for replacing all the down-range backstop cardboard. It was ready for perforatin’ when we came in! Welcome back Joe!
Special thanks to Veddy Badman for blasting us into the 21st century by keeping score via his phone and using the A.C.E.S. scoring system! It’s a work in progress and he’s taking the first steps! It seems like he’s onto something good!
Congratulations to all our winners and participants! Sixgun Seamus came in First place with Black Run Butcher at a close Second; Veddy Badman came in Third and Slow Mo got the eighth spot! I’m movin’ up!
Rubber Ducky awards were given out to our 2 Middle shooters, Hagen and Curly! They came in tied for Middle place! What a trophy! Something to be proud of! It’s good to see Curly back up, getting around, and getting awards!
Hagen lit up the building and atmosphere with his smokey loads! Mr. 44-40 was taking care of anyone who got a notion to doze! A little smoke always adds something exciting to any match! HaHa! A good cough was had by all!
New York’s Low Plains Drifter drifted in and picked up the Aww S**t award for missing a perfectly clean match by 1. I bet he’s glad he made that long drive now; he didn’t come all that way for nothin’!
Thanks to the folks who brought in supplies and hardware for us to buy. You do a heck of a good service for us shooters.
Suety Hawk was sporting a good-looking new hat! It was good to see her back among us too! Thank you, Suety, for helping with the scoring!
Missouri Jake stopped by to say hello. Keep him in your thoughts and please keep Takoda Ray in your thoughts, he’s had some bad luck too.
The next match is Saturday, March 11, second Saturday of the month. Look for the Real Cha Cha sweep, not just a cheap imitation, and look for the Dead Man’s Hand sweep, suggested by Mr. Erdy! People are dyin’ to do that sweep! The Creeker sweep or the Slow Mo sweep might make an appearance and the Krazy Thom sweep so we can give our brains a rest! I might change the Tall T sweep to Mo’s “T for Train-wreck sweep!”
Well, I gotta make tracks!
Hope to see you all next time, God bless,
Slow Mo Dern
"Cowboy Action Shooting is a wonderful sport and these activities promote honesty, moral correctness, a love of history, and it’s a heck of a lot of fun!”

Think about it, where else could you go and dress up like a cowboy or western movie actor, talk like you were from Wyoming, even though you grew up in Akron, enjoy your favorite sport (shooting) and play the ham all at the same time without the slightest chance of being ridiculed?
Go out there and try it, you’ll be glad you did!
