70 so far are signed up last I knew.  Still a few that are "thinking" about it.  Sure hope they decide and get entries in!

 

Just spent the day cleaning up the  range and getting it ready for everyone.  Looking forward to seeing everyone!

Well finally catching my breath. Folks what a great match!! Perfect weather. Perfect stages, good mix of size , distance , and no brain teasers. Best trophies around , great banquet food, campfires, adult beverage enjoyment around said campfire, lots of laughing, teasing etc.!!! Lot of work went into this, and it showed!!! Great job Butterfield Gulch Gang. Folks put them in your plans for next year!!

Thanks for the kind words. 

Was a treat to see old and new friends. 

A lot of laughing went on. Was great. 

Thanks to all that put so much work in for a great shoot. 

[Tucker McNeely]

What a great weekend.  The Butterfield Gulch Gang can put on a great show.  Side match day was a hoot.  Main match stages were what we have come to expect from the imagination of Major Art Tillery, new fun and simple to shoot.  Great work!

 

The dry camping setup was awesome.  The campfire was used every night.  Pot luck dinner was perfect. Great food, great people and even better laughs.

 

I am saddened that I will not be able to attend the spring shoot next year.  2019 is looking good so far.

[Major Art Tillery]

Thanks fellas!! Sure look forward to shooting with you all again soon!!

[Bulldog Brown]

Major: Was great match, best people, stages, and did I say great people, thanks to all. Bulldog & Miss Connie
