September Scores – Back to School Match

5 Dogs Creek – Back‑to‑School Match Results!

Well now, dust off your notebooks and sharpen your pencils, ‘cause class was officially in session this past weekend at 5 Dogs Creek. Teacher Gunpowder ’N Grace rang the bell, slammed the ruler on the desk, and sent every cowboy and cowgirl straight back to school—Old‑West style.

Our “curriculum” included such fine academic disciplines as:

  • Mathematics: Countin’ misses you swear you didn’t have.(lie’n, cheat’n, spotters!)
  • History: Rememberin’ how you used to shoot before that last miss.
  • Science: Proving steel targets do move when you glare at ‘em hard enough.
  • Physical Education: Sprintin’ between shooting positions like recess just started.
  • Detention: For anyone who earned it… you know who you are.

And boy howdy, did the students perform.

HONOR ROLL – TOP OF THE CLASS

Coyote Carson

Valedictorian of the weekend. Straight A’s in Accuracy, Agility, and “Ain’t Nobody Catchin’ Him.”

  • Saturday: 86.75
  • Sunday: 77.77 Rumor has it he turned in his homework early and the timer operator gave him extra credit.

SATURDAY – September 5th

The schoolhouse doors swung open and the learnin’ commenced.

Top Students:

  1. Coyote Carson – Teacher’s pet, but we ain’t mad.
  2. Big Bad Blaine – Didn’t miss a single question on the test.
  3. Ambs Aces – Mayor by day, straight‑A student by weekend.
  4. Whiskey T.F. Bottles – Extra credit for style and sass like the town wino with a snake in his boot.
  5. Saw‑Yer Wood – Passed every subject with flying colors.

Top Lady:

  • Gunpowder N Grace

Some students claimed their rifles were “acting up,” others blamed the wind, and one cowboy insisted his shotgun was “still on summer break.”

SUNDAY – September 6th

Day two of school brought fresh coffee, fresh cartridges, and a whole new set of pop quizzes.

Top Students:

  1. Coyote Carson – Still top of the class. Still suspiciously fast.
  2. Whiskey T.F. Bottles – Gold star for effort and execution, yet ended up in detention again, who would have thought it.
  3. Ambs Aces – Mayor continues to ace the curriculum.
  4. Sam Ootie – Smooth as a freshly chalked blackboard.
  5. Dutch Longhorn – Sheriff proved he can enforce the law and the lesson plan.

Top Lady:

  • Dustbowl Debbie

Special recognition goes to Wanderin’ Rose, who earned an SDQ so mighty the principal had to step outside and breathe into a paper bag.

NOTABLE CLASSROOM MOMENTS

  • Gunpowder ’N Grace collected enough misses to qualify for summer school.
  • Jailer racked up 14 misses on Stage 5 Sunday, officially earning the title “Most Likely to Need Tutoring.”
  • Bull McFearson turned in assignments so creative the teacher had to rewrite the grading rubric.
  • Mad Trapper of Rat River earned himself an Oscar for his outstanding and flamboyant performance in 4th period drama class. (Laurence Olivier would have been proud)

THANK YOU, STUDENTS OF 5 DOGS CREEK!

To every shooter, spotter, brass‑picker, timer‑runner, and innocent bystander who wandered too close to the chalkboard—thank you for making Gunpowder ’N Grace’s Back‑to‑School Match another rip‑roarin’ success.

Class dismissed. See y’all next month for more shoot’n’, more lead, and more stories that get bigger every time they’re told.

Keep your powder dry and your homework optional.
