Ol Number4 Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Mudflat, Thanks for starting a thread to recognize one of the best shoots I have been to in quite awhile. I concur, award wining stages and set up. Great scheduling (but no Plainsman) and one of the most beautiful settings in Oregon. I am certainly looking forward to being there next year for the Orgon State shoot!!!! They went way past the extra mile to make all the shooters have an enjoyable time. Yes, and congradulations to Jade and Ringer!! Ol' #4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Hi Folks, I just got back from The Battle of the Rogue River in Merlin, Oregon. It was a beautiful venue, had wonderful weather, a fantastic posse, great people everywhere, and MY FIRST CLEAN ANNUAL MATCH. YIPPEE! It was my sister-in-law, Shelly's, first time at a match or meeting any shooters. She had fun and enjoyed the folks. They were so friendly to her. You done me proud folks. Thank you! I was also honored with First Place Lady's Shooting Costume and Third Place Lady's Evening Costume. Thanks to Powder River Rose and "her girls." Thank you Merlin Merauders! BTW, COG is not Crotchety or Old or Grouchy. Consider yourself "outed" pard. Regards, Allie Mo PS By the last day, despite a "rocky start," Shelly could even understand why we Old. # 4. Really!

That wasn't me, that was my astral projection. I send it out when people are involved and I am expected to be civil. Saves me the trouble of hiding the bodies!

Homburg Wally Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 This was my second major match, and only about my 7th match ever. Stages were very well set up and thought out, very little Posse hold up (one posse faster than the one in front), beautiful weather (My sincere thanks to whomever supplied that!), and great shooters. Met a lot of freindly and smiling faces, some new, some old (old friends, not necassarily old...). Suggestions: Not really any. Social activities were excellent, dinner on Saturday was excellent, lunch was better than decent. Two thumbs up for this match! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightning Will, SASS#56934 Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Thanks to Runnin' Wild "The Painter", Johnny Dingus, Molly B'Dam and all the other Marauders for an outstanding match!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Kneestone SASS #14851 Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 The Merlin Marauders continue to put on a wonderful shoot each year. We wouldn't miss it.

Rico Kid Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Kudos to a great group of dedicated cowboys and cowgirls, they went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great time. I can only sum this up in one word..... FUN!!FUN!!FUN!!! ( I guess that's three words, but you get the idea). Great stages, well thought out planning, the evening entertainment was a hoot. Having been to every annual, each year gets better. Thanks to all who worked so hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
