Headline: Catfight Breaks Out Among Cowgirl Posse Members

 

Well it had to happen someday and i guess the August posse was the place that things finally came to a head.  What i'm referring to is the long standing fewd between Slowpoke Sal and her childhood enemy Missalot Missy.  It is said that the fewd started back in grammar school when both girls thought that they were the true love of Little Willie Johnson (Big Johnsons youngest son).  Who was later proved to be a two or three timing scroundrel and backshooter.  When the cowgirls saw each other at the posse both had blood in their eyes.  After stage one Slowpoke Sal had the advantage but didn't keep it for long as Missalot Missy took stage two and also the lead.  Stage three went to Slowpoke Sal due to some fancy shooting and also the fact that  Missalot Missy's Model 97 gave up the ghost.  Slowpoke also took stage four by a very slim margin and managed to squeek out a match win by only 17 seconds.   After the posse both cowgirls figured out that a "Little Willie" was not worth fighting over and now both are now friends.

Seems like the August posse was the time for everyones gun to quit or give major problems. Killer Karls model 92 in 32-20 went from a lever action to a jam-a-matic as soon as the clock started.  Ain't it funny how things never give trouble in practice but just let the buzzer go off and see what happens.  Gunsmoke and Missalot Missy's model 97 shotgun quit when all the pins fell out at once.  A big bug was seen in the pile of parts that fell out and Chief A.J. Parlatore the resident gunsmith determined that the bug was the engineer of the machine and he had evidently died of old age.  If you see an old model 97 at Jims you better leave it lay or at least call Gunsmoke and make sure it ain't his.  Slowhands rifle shoot'n ended when one of his reloads came apart in the chamber and all the kings men couldn't get it out.......

 

order of finish for all the posse went something like this:

 

First Flight: Dick Holliday, Gunsmoke, Mad Dog....

Second Flight: Little Mix, Slowhand, Killer Karl,

Senior Cowboys: Roberdel, Idaho Spud, Black Smith

Cowgirls: Slowpoke Sal, Missalot Missy

 

I was surprized that we had such a good turnout since the last match was only two weeks ago so thanks to all the cowboys and girls that came out to shoot.  As you can see from the above it was a very good match and we got to shoot four stages and lots of ammo so be sure to check the schedule at www.buccaneergunclub.org or www.northcarolinacowboys.com to see what we are up to for September.  

 

Dick Holliday has been working full time on the Friends of NRA dinner/auction so he may not have enough shells to shoot the next match so if you see him give him some 44's.  But for sure make sure you go to this years dinner/auction as it is shaping up to be the biggest and best yet......with lots of cowboy gear on the block to win and bid on....one of the Limited Edition Guns is a Big Loop Winchester Rifle just like Lucas McCain used to use and the Gun of the Year is a 45-70 Browning......So be there or be square......

 

As always.........Take a kid shooting........Respectfully Submitted......Ned Bluntline
