Forty three shooters graced the February Match.  It was cold, then chilly, then finally the sun came out for the last stage or two and it was nice.  Six shooters cleaned the match and got BOTH bonus shots: congratulations to WT Slick, Cat Tracker, Big Dave, Colorado Horseshoe, Regulator Russ and the Gardner Kid!  In addition, Desert Eagle,  Windy Ike and Badlands Browning all had clean matches!  Well done!

TOP HONORS GO TO WT SLICK!

Due to popular demand, the monthly matches are scored by the Total Time method (fastest total time wins) as opposed to the Rank Point scoring method.  Of course, Lightning Cat, this is one month that I wish we were using Rank Points!

In Total Time scoring, a "Stage DQ" is scored as 5 seconds times the number of shots required for the stage plus 30 seconds.  Not shooting a stage should be scored the same way.  This is how I should have scored Riverboat Annie - but I didn't have the written stages in front of me, so I got lazy and just used 200 seconds.  My apologies.

If anyone has any digital photos, e-mail them to me as a jpg file, as an attachment, and I will post them here. 

ALSO, if anyone is interested in taking the RO I or RO II courses sometime this Spring, please contact me at 719-683-6713 or at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
