Doc Cooper and Irish Leadslinger have started to pull away. Don t y all think Doc should take a month off to make things more interesting? Well, we will have to see. Y all better watch out for Panola Jack and Beaver John. Those two have been out a practicing and it s really showing in their scores! Way to go guys. Also, it was good to see that southern crew make their way back up to shoot with us. Been a while since ol Crosscut has been around with his pards. I m hoping that they are up to get in some practice for the HELLFIRE match coming up in September. Speaking of that match, scroll on down and take a look at the registration form at the end of the news. If you haven t got yours in yet, press PRINT, fill it out and get on board. Slick says that entries are running well ahead of the usual number. And don t forget the Louisiana State Wild Bunch Championships will be hosted at that match, too! You don t want to be the one who misses out! --- Hightower
