The scheduled later start time on Saturday seemed to be well liked as we had a good number of shooters and some from other clubs. Sunday was also well attended. The weather on both days was perfect! A good time was had by all.
NEW Saturday MATCH START TIMES FOR FEB, MARCH & APRIL
For the months of February, March and April the Saturday start time will be 10:30 a.m. with the office opening on Saturdays at 9:30 a.m. and the shooters meeting at 10:15 a.m.
The Sunday match start time will remain the same at 9:00 a.m. (The office will open Sundays at 8:00, and 8:30 for the shooter meeting.)
Did you read that? Oh I hope you did. We’re trying to get the word out. Please tell your friends that the Saturday Matches at 5 Dogs will start at 10:30 & the Sunday matches start at 9am. This is just for Feb, March & April. This also means that folks driving in from farther have a bit more time and don’t have to hit the road so early when it might be foggy. Stay safe and we hope to see you soon. Ok, here’s your newsletter:
We had a great weekend at 5 Dogs Creek! Even if it was cold at night and during the day. January. You know, the dead of winter and all that.
Professor Cubby Bear wrote good stages with cat themed situations. Fun!

Match starting time on Saturdays in February, March, and April will be 10:30am. The office will open at 9:30 and the shooter meeting will be at 10:15. Hopefully this will ease the drive for shooters from out of the area to make the Saturday match, at least during the winter months. Sunday match time is not changed.
If you like this later Saturday start time, cast your vote by showing up on Saturday. That’s how we will know if this is popular, by how many people show up on Saturday. If you really like this later start time then bring some friends to the match.

This December match is a split month because the Sunday is the first of the month, and that means Saturday is the last day of the previous month. That happens once in a while. The 5 Dogs Creek Cowboy Action shooting matches are always the FIRST SUNDAY of the month, and the Saturday of the same weekend.
We had a good turnout for the match, which gave everyone a chance to walk off any pounds gained at Thanksgiving. The stages on Saturday were a throwback to the old days, the targets were a bit far out there. But hey, there were two clean shooters! Sunday’s stages were a bit better as shown by the nine clean shooters.

This was the Gunfighter Throwdown! Everyone was encouraged to try shooting gunfighter style, if they wanted to. Only gunfighters are allowed to have both pistols in play at once. That also means cocking & shooting one handed, with both left & right hands. A lot of extra skills to develop!
Always a good time out at 5 Dogs Creek! 🤠
