THE OLD
WEST SHOOTING SOCIETY
THE BARBARY COAST VIGILANCE COMMITTEE
& TABOR’S SHOOTER’S SUPPLY of SAN BRUNO
ARE PROUD TO BRING YOU
THE 10TH
ANNUAL CHABOT COUNTY RANGE WAR!
Friday - Sunday,
SEPTEMBER 19th-21st, 2003
Well,
here we are again for the TENTH time in a row, can you believe it? The
Chabot County Range War has been given the big “OK” from the
“powers-that-be” and we figured we would give it another try! As in years
past, the shoot’n will be held at the Chabot Gun Club and free overnight dry
(that is "dry" as in no hook-ups, certainly not "dry" as in
no alcohol) camping is allowed on site (at the range).
The low down is as follows:
Unlike other matches, we've tried to keep our match fees to a minimum.. The
match fee is $65. Your spouse is just $40. and Juniors are just $20. Saturday
BBQ dinners for non-shooters and guests are just $15. and that also enters them
into the Saturday Night costume contest with the shooters. These shooter
fees cover entry into the 2 stage Plainsman match and the other side matches on
Friday (except for the special Quigley Bucket shoot which is just $3 per entry,
unlimited entries, your best time counts), the 6 stage Main Match on Saturday,
your dinner on Saturday night, the two-event team shoot (on Sunday morning),
prizes & awards. Because of the
limited space available, we have to restrict this match to just 120
"experienced" shooters. It is
first come first served, we would like all entries in no later than August
18th, 2003. "Experienced" does not mean you have shot at a mere SASS match
somewhere.. it means you have shot at more than one monthly Chabot CAS match
and fully understand why this rule is in place. 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 Cowboys that like to shoot.. a lot.
There will be the usual awards for the top
shooters in each category (with at least 3 shooters pre-registered
by August 18th) as well as a special award for the top "Quigley"
Shooters (both Men's & Women's).
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 and
no other penalties. 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 120 EXPERIENCED CAS SHOOTERS

IN THE S.F. BAY AREA.. HOSTED BY THE OWSS
