Howler April 2025

Posted on March 23, 2025 by Montego

We have got an amazing Howler for ya! SO many interesting things, from reloading, to the twisted history of how some hats got to be called “10 Gallon” hats. You’re going to want to read & save this one. Thanks again to Domino Blaze for putting it all together, and contributors; Fordyce Beals, Utah Blaine, Lap Dog, & Hilde!

Also take note the upcoming APRIL Saturday Match start time is 10.30am, while the Sunday match start time is 9am as usual. This is to help give some of our more distant participants extra time to arrive on Saturday before the match.

–> We will go back to the regular start times in May.

Camping is always available & FREE on nights before our Cowboy Action Shooting matches. No reservations required. C’mon over & spend the weekend with us at 5 Dogs Creek.

We had a great turn out this weekend at 5 Dogs Creek, especially for it also being EOT weekend. Nice of those top shooters to give the rest of us a chance to rank higher in a club match.

Saturday weather was really nice, warm & sunny all day. Green grass for miles. Little bunny rabbits bouncing all over in the morning. 5 stages of fun, the afternoon off, then a well attended potluck dinner. Ah, there is nothing so peaceful as the shooting range.

Sunday weather started out sunny, but soon got a little bit wild with a small twister at stage 3 that threw leaves and hats all over. Heavy rain had been predicted for Sunday but it did not come. It did rain for about 3 minutes as we were starting stage four, but it stopped as quick as it started & we all finished the match with blue skies & sunshine. Almost rainbow weather.

Some folks who dilly-dallied before heading home on Sunday reported blizzard snow conditions in Tehachapi about dinner time.

It’s possible that the favorite stage line was; “I tried being reasonable. I didn’t like it”.

Here’s the scores.

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.

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.
