It’s the final day, Sunday and like all good cowboys and cowgirls we head to the range for this morning’s shootout!

Where the best of the best go head to head in a final showdown and bit more fun on the range.

You know you can be lucky sometimes….on last stage of warm up match the bottom tab in my rifle broke, caught the piece in my hand when I cleared it at the unloading table. ‘Well that can’t be good’ I exclaimed but Jack got it fixed ready for the main match.

Fast forward to the shootout – Wild Rose and I take off from the middle,

pistols are shot first,

go to rifle….click, nothing happens..re cock the hammer, click…rack it, it must be a dead round,

click on the next one…..rack everything out and move to shotgun. A win for Wild Rose. Firing pin is broken.

Moral of the story? Better today then copping 10 misses for a broken rifle during the main match!!!

Huge congratulations to shootout winners Violet Rose for the ladies and Bat Masterson for the men.

Jack was pleasantly surprised to finish 1st in Elder Statesman category.

Congrats to Sister Sarah Carnegie 1st in Lady Gunfighter!

And the 2023 Australian Single Action National Champions – The Terror and Violet Rose – congratulations.

To the Frontier Shooting Club, as everyone has been saying all week and beyond, this truly was a fantastic match that in our minds rivaled shoots we’ve been to in the US. Other clubs here now have a lot to take away from this and make their shoots also something to be talked about.

Well played guys, well played.
