Here's a shot of Match Director Red River Wrangler setting the firing line with Wooden Nichols, Deadly Sharpshooter, and first year Ranger Aldo Carnage. That firing line from Stage 1 through Stage 12 is over 1,000 feet long.

The generators got delivered today. One 150 KW to run the event and one 125 KW for backup to insure an uninterrupted good time.

Long range set. Look real close you actually see targets down there somewhere. We'll paint them for you next Tuesday before you shoot.

Let me get this straight, while everybody is working hard getting the range set up.

Your job is to walk around and take pictures?  Rough job if you can get it!

Oh I get it you are getting your trigger finger in shape!

Will miss giving you a whopping at Tusco :)

You  and Kay have fun this week.

That's a heck of a lot of knockdowns. Oops... I've already said too much.

How about a picture of the total knockdown stage that your Oopsing about ?

It's set up for Wild Bunch right now. I can assure you, the knockdown stage is great.
