Ocoee Rangers Annual Christmas Shoot & Family Event - 2007

 

Twas a week and a smidgen before Christmas and … well, it was sorta noisy, ‘cause the Ocoee Rangers were having their Annual Christmas Shoot.  And most of the cowgirls and cowboys were dressed spiffier than usual, ‘cause they were goin’ to an After Shoot Event to celebrate the season and another good year of Cowboy Action Shooting in Cleveland.

 

Of course Christmas is for children, as the song goes. And what are Cowboy & Cowgirl Shooters but big kids. And kids look to Santa for surprises during the holiday season. And Santa has helpers, lots of helpers.  And some of them were on the range, shooting.

The scenarios we shot were fast and fun. And the shooters were colorful and some were fast, real fast. With the bonus points available on the Christmas Tree stage, some shooters actually had minus scores for that stage. The Top Gun of the day was Unpleasant. The Top Cowgirl Shooter was Last Kiss.
