1 Thursday, May 18, 2017 MAY 2017 MONTHLY NEWSLETTER Ambush at Ricochet Junction 2017, May 6 & 7 This year s event was a huge success and if you were not there shooting or helping, you missed out on the opportunity to be a part of your club s best annual yet and meet a lot of Cowboys & Cowgirls from different clubs who came to shoot and have a good time. Thanks to the leadership of match director Ranger Six, 51 Cowboy Action Shooters registered to compete in 20 categories.

Saturday evening our guests enjoyed a Social followed by a Texas Style Bar-B-Que dinner featuring Brisket, Pork Roast and Turkey with all the fixin s, hosted by Armstrong Rosie and helpers Rebi Belfast McKnight, Winnie Chester, and Linda Miller. After dinner, the evening festivities continued with the N.E.W. Regulators tradition of awarding prizes to all guests by William Bowie and Ranger Six, after which William Bowie put on his auctioneer s hat and commenced in the role of auctioneer, another annual tradition which he started, the Saturday Night Auction during which items donated by individuals and local business owners are auctioned off to the highest bidders. As always, the highlight of the evening came with the last item offered for bid, William Bowie s annual commemorative handmade knife which is something to behold. The N.E.W. Regulators owe a debt of gratitude to William Bowie for all he contributes toward making the annual event a success. For him, It s the Right Thing to Do, and the Cowboy Way. Needless to say, by the close of the Saturday evening festivities, a good day had been enjoyed by all. 1
