CAS ANNUAL SANTA CLAUS SHOOT

Hey All,

It is that time again already.  This upcoming Saturday is the Third 
Saturday of the month and thus cowboy action.  Set-up begins at 
9:00.  Shooting starts shortly there after.

This is going to be the ANNUAL SANTA CLAUS SHOOT.  Gotta have Xmas spirit 
or some variant there of <grin>.  Since there is snow on the ground, this 
one is going to be .22 friendly so we do not have to chase as much 
brass.  Go full bore, or break out the single sixes and that old .410 in 
the closet -- idea is to have fun!

Our section has been growing which is a great thing.  We are now as the 
standard, going  to a two-posse shoot with two bays set up as the 
routine.  This will allow us to get through faster and also will make it 
more friendly for the beginners and the Young-uns which we fully encourage.

Fine Print stuff

Basic Rules: all bullets are only lead & under 1000 fps for pistol, 1400 
for rifle. This is because gas checks & jackets can ricochet off the steel 
targets, and faster bullets damage the targets. Regular lead slugs just 
splat harmlessly. The cowboy loads are round nose flat points, but 
semi-wadcutters usually work fine too. You don't want to put anything 
pointed (including round nose) in a lever gun tube magazine! For shotgun, 
any 7 1/2 or 8 target loads are ideal. There is no advantage to heavier 
loads or bigger shot, and again target damage & ricochet would become 
problems. No steel shot!!!!

You do need eye and ear protection even to watch in case there is some 
splatter & it's a club rule anyway. Come ready to shoot, we're pretty 
easygoing & will help you get started safely.
