THE OLD WEST SHOOTING SOCIETY
THE

BARBARY COAST VIGILANCE COMMITTEE &
TABOR'S SHOOTERS SUPPLY OF SAN BRUNO

ARE PROUD TO BRING YOU THE
12^TH ANNUAL CHABOT COUNTY

SEPTEMBER 16, 17 & 18th, 2005

 

Arrggh,  number 12 is upon us, who would of thunk it?  The Chabot County Range War has been given the “OK” from the “powers-that-be” so we thought  we would try to make your life miserable one more time!  As in years past, the shoot’n will be held at the Chabot gun club, free overnight dry (that is "dry" as in no hook-ups) camping is allowed on site (at the range).  There is space for a few friendly suttlers, the Gouge Eye Saloon and public restrooms are available on site. There are public/fee showers available at the county campgrounds just down the road.

The low down is as follows:
The match fee is $70 and you spouse or "fiancé", or registered domestic partner, is just $40. and Juniors are $20. (extra Saturday BBQ dinners for non-shooters are $15. and that also enters them into the costume contest with the shooters!)  These shooter fees cover our new Plainsman match (2 stages) 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), a custume event pin, prizes & awards. Because of the limited space available, we have to restrict this match to just 100 "experienced" shooters. It is first come first served, we would like all entries in no later than August 26, 2002. 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.

There will be the usual awards for the top shooters in each category (with at least 3 shooters pre-registered by August 26th) as well as a special award for the top "Quigley" Shooters (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, all bonuses 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 100 EXPERIENCED CAS SHOOTERS.
