Like I do every year, I would like to nominate Holy Rider for CC Shootist of the year. He's always dressed to the nines and goes above and beyond whether he wins or not. He also preaches at Cowboy Church at matches all over the Pacific Northwest and is the first to congratulate anyone who beats him, and encourages the ones he beats. He's also one of the most humble fellers a gent can meet! Nobody really knows him outside our part of the world, but if they did I'm sure that they'd be nominating him too!

Howdy, y'all! The Virtue Flat Shootist Society, Baker City, Oregon, will be holding our 2024 Annual match coming up July 12th through the 14th. 5 main match stages per day for three days plus Wild Bunch and Plainsman. Lunch is provided every main match day, and there'll be a potluck supper on Saturday night. I'm kinda late getting this out there as our registration closes on July 1st, but a good time is generally had by all, so give us a holler! Dry camping at the range is free, and there are a couple of nice RV parks less than ten miles away! We start early and get done early to beat the heat. There's a lot of Oregon Trail history in the area as well as the premier Oregon Trail Interpretive Center in the state just down the road. Come on out and ring some steel with us!

I've been using Titewad ever since I discovered that it was a whole lot less expensive than the Clays and 700-x I was using for shotgun loads. I don't remember the bushing size, but I'm loading 13 grains of Titewad in AA hulls using Claybuster 7/8 ounce gray wads and whatever 209 primers I have on hand. Relatively light recoil in my hammer double and never fails to tip the knockdowns over unless I have a brain fart and forget what that shiny round thing on the end of the shotgun barrels is for...
