IDAHO STATE Championship Matches
From the very moment that I got off my rental horse in Nampa, Idaho I 
knew that these cowboys really meant business.  Shooters were there in 
force from a half dozen states converting the parking lot of the Boise 
Gun Company into a cowboy town.  It took over 5 minutes to call roll.  
The 7th Calvary did not have this many cowboys.  The cowboys shot on one
 range and the cowgirls shot on a second range.  There was a large 
cleaning area and plenty of practice area for dry firing. Ruger Firearms
 was there filming the event for a TV movie on cowboys of the modern 
west.
After a hardware and leather inspection shooting began right as the 
outhouses were delivered.  Offloading the outhouses from the high bed 
truck provided a great deal of entertainment with a loud applause after 
they finally hit the ground safely.
I got to meet the CFDA’s top hand, Quick Cal.  We took a selfie and he 
thanked me for coming to Idaho.   Cal invited me to his ranch in Nevada 
for lunch.  He seemed to know everyone and kept inviting cowpokes to 
lunch during the first week in October.  He must have a big bunk house 
near Fallon , NV.
It was my honor to shoot with fellow AZ Gunslinger, Old West.  He was in
 two categories and I was in the Cowboys from AARP category.  I made it 
to the Top 5 Match finals for my category and lasted one round.  Old 
West was in top form and earned the right to fight against the very best
 in the group.  I have not seen the results but I know he did well and 
stayed for the main match the next two days.    As a true cowboy, I 
meandered off for two days of fishing with my kin.

Boss T needs to learn that 5th in any category is pretty darn good. Good shooting and thanks for the report.
