Josey Wales heads to Niles for the first indoor CAS match of the Lake Park Raiders!
"Josey! Are you sure you have all your guns? What about your ammo? Don't forget the scenarios! And your money, don't forget your money! What about your phone? Don't forget your phone! Don't forget to turn it on! You won't forget to call me, will you? Or text! Send me a text! Get some bread and milk on your way home! Are you going to Perkins with the Brunswick Kid? Remember, we have to be at Jim and Karla's at 6 tonight!"
"I reckon so..."
CAS at Niles, Ohio Nov. 10, 2018
We had a real good turn-out Saturday! 13 shooters!
Thanks to everyone who braved the icy northeast Ohio highways and by-ways to come to Niles and try their hand at shootin’ indoors with the Lake Park Raiders!
This was the first match of our indoor season and it went over pretty dern good! Bigger is better! Targets that is!
Willy Goodnews took first place! Congratulations, Willy!
Willy was shootin’ smokeless and could actually see the targets! HaHa!
Mo came in second! Ain’t that a wonderment?!!
Third place went to our good friend, Swiftwater Jack!
Duelin’ Diehl was our only clean shooter! Congratulations, DD!
We ran through 3 “old stand-by” scenarios, took a slight intermission, then shot the last 2 stages. It worked out pretty good!
Turkey Flats Jack came by to compete indoors for the first time and I hope we see him again! He gave up the BP for a day so he could do smokeless with us! Not an easy thing to do!
Congratulations to all our winners and participants!
Big thanks to Hagen and the Brunswick Kid for doing such a great job putting the stages on the wall and for all their great ideas, energy, and donations!
Thanks to Shenango Joe for putting up the new cardboard!
Thanks to everyone for helping set-up and take-down and for making our first time shooters feel welcome.
Misc. Match Notes:
Unfortunately, the El Diablo sweep is going to Boot Hill to join the All for One sweep and the Cynthia Ann Parker sweep! Rest in pieces!
It just didn’t go over as well as I’d have liked but not to worry!
Our good friend, Wyatt N. Erdy aka Erdy Rose, the Singin’ Sidekick gave us a new Lone Ranger sweep and the Fireplace Chimney sweep!
Look for these in the not-to-distant future!
The next match is Thursday November 29, 2018!
Look for more fun-filled stages right out of the fun-filled stage book!
Hope to see you there!
Visitors and spectators are always welcome but bring eye protection and hearing protection. It is mandatory.
All the best,
