Grizzly Dave Posted June 4, 2016 Author Share Posted June 4, 2016 Why are the awards not at the range? Does everyone really want to take their vehicles loaded with guns and park in Ault? Im not saying Ault is that bad, but still. Parking issues, people with campers have to leave their campers at the range, just to go back to town. Maybe its just me, but I think it would have been better to keep it all at the range. Home Range, you make some good points. I think the main reason many clubs hold awards and banquets at a facility in town is climate control. As many annual matches are in the summer, after being out in the hot outdoors much of day, folks like a cool place to sit down and enjoy a beverage, watch the awards, and have some food. Also for those who really get into the costuming, they pull out the really fancy Victorian outfits that might be too hot or too fancy to wear out in the elements.

Jackaroo, # 29989 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 main reason not to have the banquet at the range is that the weather ini tha afternoons at that time of year can be iffy at best.....yu really wanna risk making all the ladies mad by getting all their fine dresses all muddy?? keep in mind most of us have guns tuu..... +100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Dave Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 Preparations continue and entries continue to roll in! If at all possible please get your entry in the mail this week so that we'll have accurate numbers for the caterers. Yesterday was another workday at the range and lots got done. Props repaired and painted, signs hung, and other things checked off the list. Match Director GW Ryder says we are right on track to have the range in tip top shape and looking great to welcome all of our cowboy and cowgirl friends to the 2016 Colorado State Championship match - The Shootout at Pawnee Station! 25 days left until the fun starts!

Grizzly Dave Posted June 18, 2016 Author Share Posted June 18, 2016 With the 'to do' list well under control, we took a break from preparations for the state match and shot our regular 3rd Saturday monthly match today.

Grizzly Dave Posted June 22, 2016 Author Share Posted June 22, 2016 YeeHaw! Time is getting near now! At this point if you mail an entry it might not arrive before folks head out to camp at the range match week to make the final details come together. HOWEVER, it's not too late to sign up! Please drop match director GW Ryder an email with your alias, category, and how many banquet tickets you want, and you can turn in your form and pay when you get here! GW's email addy is on the entry form and or the match info flyer on the Pawnee Website. For those that are coming, please keep in mind that the small towns in Northern Colorado take their speed limits VERY SERIOUSLY and so should we! I've heard heard tell that some towns use the revenue from speeding tickets to fund nearly their whole budget! So watch your speeds please! Also for those coming out during the week during the day, be advised there is construction on hwy 85. There really is no good way around it for the most part, but it helps to know it's there so you can plan for a little delay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
