Sacramental beverages were consumed which should help us focus our efforts on the remaining stages. Major Art Tillery and the whole host club get high marks for hospitality. Challenging targets and sequences make this a very interesting match. Glad I came! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deacon Stone Sass#58681 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 What a great shoot. Fun was had by all. Stages were awesome. Not really up and close but at a good range. The scenario's were not easy but not overly hard. The food was great and more door prizes then I've seen in a long time for the size of shoot. And some really great awards for all categories, no matter if there was just one person or 10. I say they try as hard as any group to please and make everybody feel like they are important, and they were happy to see you there. I'm happy and excited to say that DeOne and I will be back again next year. Thanks to Butterfield Gulch Gang for an amazing shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Despite my pathetic performance which was equal parts personal equipment and operator failures, this was a fabulous match. Sacramental beverages shared amongst the "choir", Fingers McGee, Noz and J-Bar, helped maintain a balance of The Force known as Frontiersman. I'll be back! Much thanks and appreciation to Shady Wille Brown, Flint Hills Dawg, Major Art Tillery and all who made this match happen. Plan to attend next year.

StirrupTrouble Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 I agree. Fantastic match and very well run with a really fun club. This was the first annual I attended 3 years ago, and the way they treat folks is why I haven't missed one since and why it is my "have to" match every year before I even look at any other matches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fingers McGee Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Flint Hills Dawg, Shady Willy Brown, Maj Art Tillery and the rest of the staff of Butterfield Gulch put on one great match. My understanding is that the Frontiersman category was the largest category represented. Only right and proper at a BP match. Congratulations to all the category winners,and to everyone that shot the match cause they were winners too. Last year's match was a great one - this years was even better (didn't even mind the sprinkles)- can't wait to shoot next years match it oughta be a lollapalooza.

Tucker McNeely Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 A big well done to my buddies at Butterfield Gulch. It is an easy drive to the range from I-70. Great dry camping. This was my first trip to the Gulch. It will not be my last. Great effort by the gang. If you are on the fence like I was about getting into BP shooting, don't go the KS BP State shoot. You'll will have to purchase more guns. Guaranteed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Count Sandor, SASS #74075 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 This was my first visit to Butterfield Gulch. The facility is very good, the hospitality outstanding - a reflection of the enthusiasm of the folks who run the place. Sandwiched in between their constant motion and attention to details, I had some really good conversations with Dawg, Major, Shady Willie, Buffalo, and a few others. I actually saw Flint Hills Dawg sit down for 10 minutes while we talked - undoubtedly a record for the weekend! A couple of folks here have asked if it was worth the long drive: Only if you're interested in a fine facility, great banquet food, super awards, and shooting/socializing with a bunch of outstanding folks! I'll be back, Lord willing and the creek doesn't rise (some doubts about that last part Sunday after the shoot - good thing I saw the Flint Hills on the way out; could barely see the road through the rain on the way back home)!

Dantankerous Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Another congratulations for a well-run match to the Butterfield Gulch Gang. Those guys put a lot of work into hosting a great match and it paid off. All of their attention to detail and more importantly attention to the shooters made for a wonderful experience. This club has done an excellent job in creating a fantastic location for cowboy action shooting. The stages were fun without being too easy nor too challenging, the awards well designed, the Saturday evening banquet was top-notch, and the hosting club members are all great guys and great shooters. It's fun to hang around with that club. And although I did not choose to camp at the club plenty of folks did and it looks like the absolute thing to do for this match, with ample space for RVs for larger campers and tents alike. Thanks for all of your hard work, guys. Great match! Looking forward to next year very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
