Cowboy Shooters are the best

[Captain Bill Burt 2,991]

Georgia State is in the books! Congrats to Missouri Lefty for winning the overall and to Blackhawk Henry Georgia State Champ and to Maggie Darlin for overall Lady and Georgia State Champion.

 

The match was truly a great one; kudos to Fast Eddie and his crew!

 

This post is about something other than the match though.  My 11 year old son, the Iron Cowboy, decided to compete in the shootoff.  I encouraged him to give it a try, but warned him not to be disappointed as there were tons of great shooters competing.  

 

As luck would have it he drew Red River Ray for the first round.  Ray's reputation preceded him and my young gun was understandably nervous. 

 

Ray came over and spoke with him, coached him up and was incredibly kind. Due to Ray's big heart, the generosity of Missouri Lefty, and the kindness of Wabash Valley Slim the Iron Cowboy was able to participate in three rounds of the shoot off. 

 

Those three pards are class acts. They exemplify everything that makes SASS so special and they earned my respect and gratitude for treating my son so well.

Congratulations to Iron Cowboy.  You did very well.  

 

 

P.S.  That Red River Ray is a class act too.

Congrats to all, it was a great time shooting with all of you, who got the Spirit award for the posse?..

Thanks Wymore! Shootin Sharyn got the most votes so she got the award. It could have easily been any one of you as everyone was incredibly nice and hardworking!
