The final day of main match, time to claw back a bit of yesterdays disasters. it is a much much cooler day, with winds and light drizzle.

Stage 11 – Zee’s Mine

The Pikes Peak Gold Rush – Pikes Peak 1859, there’s gold in them there hills. Buffalo Bill was there with 100,000 other miners who got busy with their claims, for with toil and hardship came great reward. But for some, less fortunate or downright lazy, it was easier to take from others what they had earned….at the end of a gun. Take aim and defend your claim.

Stage 12 – The Cantina

Doc Carver is helping you put the final touches to a new shooting exhibition. This one should draw a crowd and really showcase your skills of speed and accuracy. It’s pretty much done except you just can’t decide how it should begin. Which targets are you going to begin with?

Stage 1 – Sheriffs Office

Clay Bustin’ Sharpshooter – it’s try out day and you reckon you’ve got what it takes to be Buffalo Bill’s next sharpshooter. Imagine your name up there with the likes of Frank Butler and even Annie Oakley. This your chance to shine, step on up and show us how it’s done.

Last stage of the day and the match!

Stage 2 – Town Hall

Perils of the Pony Express – Buffalo Bill recalls his time as a pony express rider as being tough, but the relay station boys had it hard as well. When Indians attacked, they were pretty much alone, outnumbered and surrounded. “We all knew what was expected of us, whatever the weather….and whatever the Indians could throw at us, the mail must go through.”

Well not the best finish for either of us but we will see how it comes out in the wash.

It’s moments like these that you appreciate the match, the people, the fun! Trooper ‘horsing’ around at the end. 🤭

Night time comes and we are ready for the banquet.

And a bit of clowning around with Charlie Wagon, Pearl Starr, Clancy and Marksman.

Top 16 was announced at dinner.
