NEWSLETTER JANUARY,
2008
The Rangers met
Saturday morning, January 12th to begin planning the 2008
season. We got together at Serendipity’s
for cinnamon rolls and palaver and got thins started for the season. Cusz ‘M Dutch came all the way from Dinosaur,
That Away Gal and Maybell Maverick rode in from the wilds, Winterhawk plowed
through the snow drifts, Desperado James represented the Durkop clan, Snowy
Creek Angel drug The Powder Wash Kid in from the e-room, we met W. H. Middaugh’s
new bride, and Big Iron O’Kearn, Black Mountain Cat and Sagebrush Burns
represented the town of Craig.
The Groundhog
Day/cabin fever match will take place on Saturday, February 2nd. It IS still winter around here, so well let
the day warm up a bit and start at 10:00AM and clothing rules are relaxed. This match is four stages and we keep it
simple, shooting in one bay and re-arranging targets for each stage. As always, this will be a free match.
Planning is under way
for the 23rd annual “Where the Old West Stayed Young” match over
Memorial Day week-end, May 24th and 25th. We won’t be doing the Saturday night banquet
or posse shoot this year. Full details
are in the match letter and poster. Again this year we find ourselves short of
people to run everything at the annual.
If you’re coming and you’re willing we need posse marshals and helpers
for the various side matches. Please get
in touch with Burns if you can help.
Regular monthly
matches will continue on the fourth Saturday of the month, April through
September. We have set our schedule for
2007.

Hog Day match – Sagebrush Burns (be there at 10:00AM)

Snowy Creek Angel has
an idea for three dimensional props and will (perhaps with Dad’s assistance) build
and paint some for us.
We’ll be getting
together again at Serendipity’s at 9:00AM on Saturday, February 16th
if you care to join us.
As always, we’d like
to hear from you if you have thoughts or ideas to help us do a better job. Keep up with the Rangers on the Bears Ears
Sportsman Club (BESC) web site at: www.bearsears.org.
Thanks,
Sagebrush Burns
