Posse 3 ........ Ruff Kut's posse. See you soon. Maddog

I sent my application in today. See you all at Ky state. I have Marlin camp 9 for the Pro Steel match. I will be coming sometime on Wednesday if nothing changes. Maddog

I got Friday off work so I mailed my Application Today. See you all Friday morning

I just called and got a room for Friday and Saturday nights. You can sign up for the main Match Friday or before 8:30 Saturday morning. if you think you want to stay at the hotel, you best call for a reservation as the hotel is getting full from the way the lady at the desk talked. I am planning on being there by 6-6:30 on Friday so I see you all then. Maddog McCoy

I don't remember where I got some of it, But I remember it was really good. I think my Grandparents got some of it, they farmed and was over 65 at the time they were giving it away.

Last time I checked, Sparta had not completed a long range bay that would go 75 to 100 yard. The bays are good (12) but not all setup for cowboy any more. It is for rent by the state of Illinois for ANYBODY willing to pay the fee. It use to be about $3-$4 per shooter per day and the camping is a separate fee. If you contact the range, they would work with you to put on the event and you would have to talk to the local clubs about help, I am a member of the one at Sparta but it would take more than just the group there. I would like to know if B-Western would be included as I got rid of all my cowboy stuff that would rate good enough for classic cowboy. I would love to shoot a match like this. If you need some help. Feel free to contact me. Maddog McCoy

No............ had to go back and what the video to see what you were talking about. I saw the cat jump the first time I watched but missed the guy hitting it with the rake. I would have shot the snake since I am a firm believer that only good snake is a dead one. Everybody has something that they dislike with a passion, mine is snakes. The ones that crawl on the ground and the 2 legged ones................

Alpo, I certainly hope you are not referring to me. Maddog McCoy

AND THEY DID NOT COOK IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These guys put on a great match. I won the Iowa challenge one year, it was called low on ammo and my partner had ran out of ammo and I had to throw him a reload from about 25 ft away and he had to load it and hit the last target to stop the clock. I think it was 21 pistol, twenty rifle and 12 shotgun. We shot it clean and he caught the reload which was how we won. The thing is I met him at that match and had loaned him my pocket pistol and ammo and he won the side match for pocket pistol and I came in second. Funny thing is that was the only match I ever saw him at and have not seen him since. It was a great weekend.

I think I have shot this match twice? I will add it to the list for shooting in April. Currently Looking to try and make Iron Cowboy, Alabama state and the Kentucky state. I guess I had better go load more ammo. Maddog McCoy

I will be at the KY state shoot, I probably be alone as my son will be graduating high school this year sometime in May and I am not sure when he will be done. He has already told me to sign us both up for Black Gold as he does not want to miss it in July. See you all soon, Maddog McCoy

Last year was not good, and I am glad to see it gone. My dad said he felt this would not be a good year for the family in January of 2018, and he was right. In January, my grandmother died and I lost my job, had to sell almost everything in Alabama and move what was left into a storage unit and moved in Grandma empty trailer in Illinois. Found a job and moved to Kentucky, still missing a lot of stuff I had to dump so I could move. One of my nieces her husband left her, refuses to pay child support on the 2 boys (1 1/2 and 3 years old), she moved into grandma's trailer. One niece totaled her car, my dad's suburban, and died just before Thanksgiving in her sleep at 30 years old from a migraine headache. She left a 10 year old daughter that goes to her ex-husband that lives 200 miles from the our family. ( lots of problems with that and my sister is a mess as she moved back to Illinois to help raise her granddaughter in July and now she will be gone). My divorce from my wife was finalized after being married 32 years and together 38 years. These are the highlights, I have forgotten some of the details. My family will not miss 2018 being over. I wish you'll well and hope this year is better than the last one.
