May shoot

.
The May shoot of the Quinton Cowboys took place on Sunday the 4th.
Here are the results; we had 35 participants and no casualties. Our winner in Duelist class was Blaze Crittenden and the Traditional category was won by Nanticoke. Quite a few of the participants switched from Duelist to Traditional and vice-versa, which means that they have accumulated year end Award points in both categories.

Dead Hand Fred, the Quaker Kid, Mild Bill, and some mysterious vaquero, all at Purgatory in 2008.








Mild Bill, loading.













Dead Hand Fred, stylin' cowboy style.













Kate and the Kid.













Nanticoke, aka Mario, who's unfailingly cheerful, and still misses (as do we all) Too Dang Frank.












Too Dang Frank, who's lamentably too dang dead.









Rico at the range.













Real cowboys, looking good.













The wagon we wish we had; see it (and buy a DVD) in Four Hand Draw.









Coyote Creek Mike (at center) and two other disreputable types at his 1881 Ranch in Nevada; Creek was one of the co-founders, along with Rico, of the Faultline Shootist Society in California.
