2013 Florida State Cowboy Championship

[girphoto]

Howdy Y'all

It is Monday on the trail and now time to give a little review of the 2013 Cowboy Florida Championship held in St Augustine Florida.
My good friend ColMike and I were at the championship and we did have a good time there. There were 10 stages that were shot over 2 days and I must admit that the stages were set up on an easier take than at my two local clubs here in Florida.
We had over 450 competitors from around the United States all decked out in their Cowboy duds and the Florida weather, well what can you say.......If you do not like the weather just stick around an hour:D
The first day I shot in the morning and ColMike shot in the afternoon, Friday morning was nice and cool and a little damp, but that changed quickly and when it got to the low 80's the guns started to stick. Those that shot in the afternoon did not have that problem but on Saturday, the afternoon group stated in the morning and the FOG (as you will see in the photos) looked like a big curtain add in Black Powder and you guessed it, it was hard to see.
I hope that you will all indulge both me and ColMike in the amount of photos that we have posted (it is a big match you know).
I am going to post stills now and after dinner I will post about 5 short videos.
ColMike will also be posting some images, Sooooooooo Pards
Sit Back grab a cold one from the old Frig, clean off your glasses and enjoy.....

I must say this was the most fun I've had in a long time. Interesting scenarios, shooting with not too much competition, lots of help, truly genuine, fun loving, helpful people. I highly recommend this to y'all. It's down right FUN!

And last but not least, jedi master Gary....
