The Castle Gate Posse

June 2026 Gazette

Was chewing over the question of having a three stage Wild Bunch Side Match at the State Shoot in July??? Marshall John did it last year, and apparently it was a big hit! I don't do Wild Bunch, and Marshall John will not be able to attend this year. Soooo...if there is anyone wanting to run the Wild Bunch Side Match, Get ahold of me and we can make it happen! Thanks! Wolf!!!
