Hickory Flat Shootist Society

We will shoot our Annual Turkey Shoot Match on Saturday (21st) with registration at 9am and wax downrange at 10. Please arrive early to register and settle in so we can begin shooting promptly at 10 am. We intend to finish the match by 12:30 pm to allow those with afternoon plans to get away. We will be shooting a no Xout format with a variety of games that will be explained as we go. Come prepared to have some fun.... There will be a pot of chili, cornbread, drinks and tableware. Feel free to bring a dessert or side dish to share. Remember, a Turkey Shoot isn't any fun if the Turkeys don't show up. Stainless Steel

Practice tonight at 7pm and Saturday at 10am. See you there. Stainless Steel

I think most of you will remember this guy. Thanks again Julia.

You can run but you cannot hide. Great story Julia. I have personally been through Burns, OR on many occasions. Wide open territory with very little cover.

Congratulations to Alabama for shooting to a second place finish in the Florida State.

A Message From Quick Cal from Fastest Gun Alive's Host City, Fallon, Nevada!

According to most sources, on today’s date 144 years ago, Sunday, October 1, 1876, notorious Old-West female outlaw Laura Bullion (1876-1961), also known by her... alias Della Rose, who is famous as a member of Butch Cassidy’s Wild Bunch gang, was born at the town Knickerbocker in Irion County, Texas; however, there remains some degree of uncertainty as to her date & place of birth. In the 1890s, Laura Bullion was a member of Butch Cassidy’s Wild Bunch gang; her cohorts were fellow outlaws, including the Sundance Kid, Black Jack Ketchum, & Kid Curry. For several years in the 1890s, she was romantically involved with outlaw Ben Kilpatrick, The Tall Texan -- a bank & train robber & an acquaintance of her father, who had been an outlaw as well. In 1901, Bullion was convicted of robbery & sentenced to five years in prison for her participation in the Great Northern Train Robbery. She was released in 1905 after serving three years & six months of her punishment. At the time of her demise, Laura Bullion was the last surviving member of the Wild Bunch gang. It is curiously interesting that for a number of years before her demise, Bullion was one of only three people still alive who were said to have known the mysterious Etta Place, girlfriend of Wild Bunch gang member, the Sundance Kid. Place mysteriously disappeared in 1909 following the Kid’s alleged death in Bolivia. Only Bullion, Ann Bassett, & Josie Bassett would have been able to shed any light upon the facts about Etta Place. Ann Bassett died in 1956. In 1964, Josie Bassett died.

And the winners are... Shootout in the Swamp banquet & awards

I’ve got one X left for tomorrow.

More interesting history from Julia.

Good match at HFSS today with seven shooters.

I had heard about this place but never saw it.
