Red Shirt Friday, 2nd Day of main match and we are in for another hot day. A few have come down with heat stroke so it’s make sure you’re hydrated throughout.

Starting with a LOCAS photo and Jack and Charlie Wagon horsing around.

Stage 7 – Station

Quiet Achiever – Congratulations, you are part of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show. This is your acting debit and you’ve been directed to be the strong silent type. In this scene you need to look stern, yet dashing as you blaze away across the station. It’s time to show your qualities.

Stage 8 – Train

The Great Train Robbery – The great train robbery has always been a fan favourite and you have the honor of starting the whole thing off. This is your big break, your first speaking part…..surely no one will notice your slight speech impediment.

Stage 9 – Mercantile

Attack on The Settlers Cabin – The settlers cabin was a regular of the show. This stirring tale revisits the terrors our frontier settlers could face on the lonely open plains. You’re with the cowboys under the leadership of Buffalo Bill as you come to the rescue and repulse the attack of the hostile Indian horde.

Stage 10 – Barbershop

The Grand Buffalo Hunt – The Grand Buffalo Hunt was a real crowd pleaser. Charging buffalo were pursued by hard riding cowboys, discharging black powder rounds. The patrons cheered as the arena was quickly enveloped in gun smoke. Buffalo are a bit scarce here in Virginia, so for your viewing pleasure we have done the best we can.

And that dear readers rounded out the second day of shooting. A number of my shots never made the mark! Front sight…front sight…..front sight.

More side events with the Annie Oakley Mirror shoot, Cowboy and Indian Auditions, last chance at the .22 sideshow and more.

Gourmet hamburgers and side match awards were done this evening. Jack took out the bow and arrow, I won the Annie Oakley shoot for the ladies, Speed Rifle and placed in a couple others! What a blast!!
