Congratulations to Sunday’s top Duelist, Unexpected Bill, and to the top Traditional shooter, Vaquero Dan. Don’t forget, there is a prize for the top shooter of the year in each category, both male and female. The award ceremony will take place at the last match of the year on December 12th. You do not have to be present to win but, in all probability, the prizes will likely be stolen by one of the lowdown saddletramps we are so fond of associatin' with if the winners aren’t there, with guns drawn, to protect their prizes.

The September shoot

2010-09-11T17:30:00.001-04:00

Rained out, unfortunately.

The August shoot, not

2010-07-02T16:10:00.001-04:00

Too hot...

The July shoot

2010-07-02T16:07:00.000-04:00

Through an oversight, Rico will be out of town for the July shoot. (Hey, brain damage, what can he tell you?) He will report on the events of the shoot when he returns. As there's no shoot in August, see you in September.

The June shoot

2010-06-13T20:02:00.000-04:00

The weather was hot, but the rain held off until everyone was headed home. Two victims: Bad Blake had a bad interaction with the loading port of Rico's rifle (not a good thing, but due to being a newbie and not knowing any better), and Yellow Mike had a bad interaction with the weather and had to ice himself down.
Other than that, a good shoot with the usual splendid scenarios courtesy of Tom Barker and the Delaware Blues.
An entire family came by to watch; they will be at the July shoot, apparently. A good thing.

The May shoot

2010-05-25T04:50:00.000-04:00

The weather was mixed, but the shooting was good, with the usual difficult-but-not-impossible scenarios.

The April shoot

2010-04-11T21:35:00.000-04:00

The weather was great (mid-70s and sunny), the stages were challenging but fun (thanks to the Delaware Blues who designed and set them up), and the day was great.

Rico's commentary: the use of cross-draw holsters is continuing but lamentable; they are a nuisance for the shooter, the stage workers, and the other shooters. Would that SASS had never made them legal... Spatter, too, continues to be a problem. Seated at the unloading table for much of the day, Rico got hit several times by sizable hunks of lead.

Schedule for 2010

2010-01-14T14:43:00.014-05:00

.
Shoots of the Quinton Cowboys in 2010:
No shoot in January
No shoot in February
March 14th was rained out, alas
April 11th
May 2nd
June 13th
July 11th
No shoot in August
September 12th, rained out
October 10th
November 14th
December 12th

All Sundays.
Registration opens at 8am, shooting starts at 9.30am.
Luncheon provided by The Mole Hole Cowboy Restaurant.

The December shoot

2009-12-22T13:48:00.000-05:00

According to Mike, lunch at the Mole Hole Cowboy Restaurant at the December shoot on the 13th was to be free. Yes, as in no bucks at all.
In the end, of course, it got rained out, so his gesture went unappreciated. Maybe next year...

The November shoot

2009-10-26T16:12:00.002-04:00

The next shoot of the Quinton Cowboys will be on Sunday, the 8th of November. The usual challenging stage design, courtesy of Tom.
The Mole Hole Cowboy Restaurant menu for November is plenty of El Diablo chicken (hot and spicy shredded chicken on a roll), some seven-day cole slaw, sweet potato casserole, pickles, and a soft drink, all for only five buck. (After all hungry cowboys are served, second plates will be available for a measly two bucks.)

The October shoot

2009-09-17T19:15:00.000-04:00

The next shoot of the Quinton Cowboys will be on Sunday, the 11th of October.
A new addition to the event will be the grand opening of The Mole Hole, the replacement for Ptomaine George's now-departed establishment. The food, we hear, will be much improved, and lunch looks to be only five simoleons for a full plate and fixings. See the new website at The Mole Hole Cowboy Restaurant for details.

The September shoot

2009-09-17T19:12:00.002-04:00

September brought much nicer weather than in July, and nearly three dozen cowboys showed up to enjoy six excellent stages.

The July shoot

2009-07-12T15:22:00.003-04:00

Much as last month, the Quinton Cowboys got a nice sunny (if hot) day after a night of rain. The stages (thanks again to Tommy and Vern) were excellent, with an amazing transverse run in the mine car that actually worked.
We had a good turnout, some thirty-plus shooters, with some new guys, and a good time was had by all.
All except Rico, however, who went down early with the heat and bailed after only two (of six) stages. He'll be back for September (no August shoot, remember).

Finally, a sunny day

2009-06-14T18:40:00.003-04:00

The Quinton Cowboys finally got a bright and sunny Sunday (after a cloudy start, once the rain stopped overnight), and about twenty or so shooters showed up and had a great time.
Tommy and the Delaware Blues crew put in their usual overtime making the stages work well (thanks, Vern, for the stage design), and there was a lot of variation.
Rico brought a new shooter, Mike Malloy (no cowboy alias yet), and he'll be back.

Not this one, either

2009-05-03T13:34:00.003-04:00

The May shoot got rained out.
We (well, some of us) showed up and some (well, four of us) were willing to shoot, especially after Tommy and the gang put in so much work setting up, but everyone wimped out (okay, okay, it was raining), so no shoot in May.
So, if you're keeping score, it would technically have been Dead Hand Fred, the Quaker Kid, Rico, and some newbie friend of the Kid's, in that order, with the rest declining to participate...
Hopefully in June.

Not this time

2009-04-05T15:27:00.001-04:00

Rico says that, through a series of errors, he did not make the April shoot. He hopes everyone had a good time and shot well. He will see you in Quinton in May, come hell or high water.

2009 schedule

2009-02-14T12:55:00.002-05:00

Source request

2008-12-31T16:39:00.001-05:00

Rico saw a cowboy at the last shoot with a great jacket, made by Wah Maker. According to the company, it's called a 'Walker' coat, and they don't make it any more. (Durn.) If anyone knows of a source for one (size XXL or 48), please email him.

Skill request

Rico says he's got a small leather pouch that needs some repair on the handle, and wonders if there are any cowboys out there with the skills and the tools and the willingness to do some work for him, cheap. Cash or trade for graphics or writing work.

Obituary

2008-09-10T11:53:00.004-04:00

Yellow Mike received a call from Mae Ott that her husband, Silver Fox, has passed on. Being a fine craftsman, he apparently had a wonderful gun cart, and Mrs. Ott would like to sell it to one of his fellow cowboy shooters. If you're interested, email her to see it.

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.

The cowboys

2008-05-01T07:34:00.010-04:00

A partial list of those who show up to shoot at the Quinton range. (If you're not here, and want to be, submit your photo via email to the webmaster. If you're here and don't want to be, send him an email.)

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.

Under the stern tutelage of Yellow Mike, this blog will carry the schedules, results, and miscellaneous hoohah of the Quinton Cowboys club matches, which take place about once a month at our private range outside Quinton, New Jersey. (Notice, in this aerial photo of our range courtesy of Google Maps, the newly-constructed berms that make it a nice three-bay range, with good side protection for all shooters.)
