Colorado Shaketails

We couldn’t have asked for a better day - sunny skies, pleasant temperatures and only a little breezy at the end of the day. We had a couple of first-time shooters today. I hope Andrew and Luke enjoyed themselves and come back to join us again. San Pedro Pete tried his hand at writing stages today and did a great job!

We're planning to shoot this Sunday 10/4/26. We will start setup at 8:00, registration is at 8:30 and the safety briefing will be at 9:00. The weather in Fountain is forecasted to be sunny with a high temperature in the low 70°s. Don't forget the Bottom Feeder 1911 category. If it is something that sounds interesting to you, Take a look at this link to information on the web site: http://shaketails.net/BFAS.pdf.

Bring plenty of water. Don’t forget the pot luck after the shoot. There will be a generator so crock pots can be brought for the potluck.

The first gate will not be locked but it is important to close the gate behind you. To get range directions go to the webpage at: http://shaketails.net/FSC_Directions.htm.

Scoresheet is posted. It was on the warm side today but not oppressively hot. Turnout was a little low but that is to be expected on a holiday weekend. It was nice to have a couple of guests that look to be very interested in cowboy action shooting. We hope to see them back soon.http://shaketails.net/Final_Tattler/Tattler2026/Sept2026Tattler.pdf

Scores are posted. It was a HOT one today! I don’t think we quite made it to 100 but we certainly made it into the mid-90s. Fortunately there was a bit of a breeze to keep it tolerable. We had two guest stage writers today. San Pedro Pete wrote Stages 1 & 2 and Lt Mark MacIntosh wrote 3 & 4. We made use of the Texas Star on two stages today – my favorite target. We also got a group picture this month.http://shaketails.net/Final_Tattler/Tattler2026/Aug2026Tattler.pdf

Scores are posted. I wasn't at the shoot today so no pictures. I am told the heat didn't get too bad and the smoke from the fires down south stayed at a tolerable level. Congratulations to San Pedro Pete on a clean match.

Matthew Steele AKA Mayhem Matt has passed on 6/29/26 at the age of 38. Those that have shot with us for many years will remember that my son used to shoot with the Shaketails on occasion. These pictures were taken in 2010 and 2012.
