Today, the Randolph County Rangers, a CFDA club, hosted a 10-year anniversary shoot. Their head honcho, Diamondback Billy, is much beloved in the sport and hosted a good time at his club house.
We spent time with shooters from Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Kentucky, refreshing old friendships and catching up on the latest rumors.
I did get to watch Jackass Jiles, one of the fastest shooters in our sport, hit a 0.915 (which is excruciatingly slow). Oh, we laughed. On his next shot, he redeemed himself, hitting a 0.295 (which is exceedingly fast). In our game, we start with the revolver holstered. When the light comes on, we draw, cock that single-action revolver, and fire. If the bullet strikes the target, you get a time. To manipulate a single-action revolver to unholster and strike a target in under 1/3 of a second is phenomenal.
In the ladies division, Belle took a minor trophy and got a cash award. Once again, my lady has proven that she is a Professional Gunfighter. She had been paid cash for her skills. I, on the other hand, finished comfortably in the middle of the pack.
Tomorrow after breakfast, we head north to Missouri to visit with family for a few days before we head home.
