[we will not be cooking out afterwards]

I talked to Double Barrel the other day and we are having a 5th Saturday shoot (08/29/2026). Because of the heat, we will not be cooking out afterwards.

Because of possible rain Saturday, I have written a new fast match that will enable all guns to be fired under cover. There are a minimum of targets (for easy takedown). We'll save the "devious" match I had written with the Texas star, downrange movement and several rifle and pistol knockdowns for a sunny day.

Please reply on the Ocoee website if you know you will be attending.

We are having a new rifle built for Miss Kitty Kat (16 1/2") carbine. Her current rifle buttstock measures 12 1/2" from the trigger to the flat buttstock. Her new carbine measures 13 1/2" from trigger to buttstock. We'd like to avoid cutting her brand-new buttstock to get to the same length as her current rifle.

We would be interested in any straight stock (rifle or carbine). If it's already been cut for a shorter shooter or buckaroo, great. If it's a standard-length stock not problem. We can always buy a new stock, but Uberti is awful proud of their new stocks $$$.   

Let me know if you've got something that you no longer need.

Happy birthday

The range is in good shape for tomorrow's match. Surprisingly, there is very little mud. Double Barrel even cut the grass.

There are five stages on three bays. See you tomorrow morning!   

Like New (no box). This is a rare 26" barrel length Norinco 1897 pump. The shotgun has a full race action job by Curly Bill Kelly. Curly Bill stated that he would cut the barrel to a shorter length and install a new front bead for an extra $40.

This gun was shot at one cowboy match.

For sale for $700.

I'm glad you guys did so well! Congratulations!

Happy birthday!

Sorry, Miss Kitty Kat and I won't be there for set-up. I tweaked my back Monday moving furniture and I'm on the IR list as far as lifting anything heavy for awhile.

Thank you Picket! With the group of good shooters present, I knew I wouldn't fair well in the standings, but I was disheartened to see myself D.A.L. 

I would appreciate someone fixing my score.

My total time was: 146.99

My time on stage one was 27.46, not 2746

Apparently certain score keepers do not know how to enter a decimal point while using the scoring tablet. 

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday!

Delta Desperado (George "Buz" Morrow III) died this past Saturday (10/14/2023).  Buz grew up in Yazoo City Mississippi.  He was a star defensive end on the University of Mississippi football team.  He earned All American Honors and was Archie Manning's roommate.  He went on to play with the Minnesota Vikings for a number of years.

I knew Buz from football and golf where we were opposing coaches.  I talked him into cowboy shooting years ago.  Buz was never a great shooter, but he really enjoyed the sport and the other shooters he met.

Buz's health started to deteriorate a few years ago after a heart attack followed by a stroke.  He recovered from those ailments and tried to shoot with us a couple of times, but he stopped because he felt unsafe.  His health took a turn for the worse about a year ago, and he never quite recovered.
