THE OLD WEST SHOOTING SOCIETY THE BARBARY COAST VIGILANCE COMMITTEE & TABORS SHOOTERS' SUPPLY of SAN BRUNO PROUDLY PRESENT THE 13th ANNUAL CHABOT COUNTY SEPTEMBER 15, 16 & 17th, 2006

LUCKY NUMBER 13 IS UPON US!

Why oh, why oh, why do we continue?  This being "The year of SASS" ...everything should be different – larger targets up-close and personal, minimal movement, 5 second penalties and load-two shoot-two – whata ya' say!?!  NAH!!--Why change something already screwed up?  I think that the 13th Annual Chabot CountyRange War has been given the “OK” from the “powers-that-be” ....or at least we haven't heard otherwise, so let’s see if we can get it right this time!  As in years past, the shoot’n will be held at the in-famous Chabot Gun Club. Free overnight dry (that is "dry" as in no hook-ups) camping is allowed on-site (at the range) for tents, campers, land-yacht RVs and those cute little pop-up trailer thingies. There is space for a few friendly suttlers, the Gouge Eye Saloon and public restrooms are available on site. There are some nice public/fee showers and such available at the county campgrounds just down the road a spell. For those of you needing a shower, you might want to check it out! The low down is as follows: The match fee is unchanged from last year at $70 and, of course, your spouse or "fiancé", or registered domestic partner (not that there is anything wrong with that), is just $40. and as-always, Juniors are just $20. For those bringing non-shooting guests, extra Saturday BBQ dinners are just $15 each, and well worth it, if I do say so myself. Oh, and that also enters them into the annual “costume” contest with all of the shooters and shoot-ettes!  Of course, the match fees get you the most bang for your buck at Chabot. You get entry into our 2 stage PLAINSMAN MATCH, the brand new COWBOY SURVIVORTM (man-on-man elimination series) and all LONG RANGE EVENTS on Friday, the 6 stage MAIN MATCH on Saturday, your wonderful BBQ dinner on Saturday night, the awesome two-event TEAM SHOOT (on Sunday morning), a cool, commemorative, antique-like, collectable MATCH PIN, a chance at a bevy of great DOOR PRIZES & the much coveted AWARDS. Because of the limited space available, we have to restrict this stupendous match to just 100 "experienced" shooters. It is first come first serve, we would like all entries in no later than August 26, 2006 (this really helps when ordering the match awards). Please keep in mind, you will be shooting a lot and will still be expected to assist with various posse duties too. This is not designed as some sort of "punishment", but the match is designed by people that like to shoot….a lot. As per use-u-al, Gouge Eye Proprietorships are just $10 each for all 3 days or you are welcome to BYOB if you want to join the fun without supporting the "organized anti-temperance fund." Everyone is welcome in the saloon, even cheapskates and prohibitionists... well, maybe not prohibitionists, unless a couple of drinks will loosen them up a bit! There will be the usual awards for the top shooters in each category (those with at least 3 shooters pre-registered by August 26th). In case you were wondering, once again, I.M. Nobody, owner of Tabor's Shooter Supply in San Bruno, is offering a "CLEAN MATCH BOUNTY" ..a $100 gift certificate at his store for any purchase, to the shooter that "cleans" the 6 main match stages at Range War.. that is no misses, no other penalties and all bonuses (if we have any). Only one award will be given, so a "tie" will be broken by best overall match time (not match points.. raw time). Good luck Pards!

LIMITED TO 100 EXPERIENCED CAS SHOOTERS.
