We have a morning meeting at 8am.  Our President and other officers tell about upcoming events, pass out the posse assignment and safety reminders
	After monitored loading at the loading tables the posse starts their shoot by saying their lines.  The Shooter has to "say his or her lines" before the timer starts. This get quite hilarious at times.  No he is not drinking.  These are saloon props.
	The shooter proceeds to follow the scenerio and shoot his pistol, in this case out of one of the Saloon windows.
	We have young shooter.  They must be accompanied by a parent during the whole shoot process. In this scene the young shooter is shooting his rifle.
	The unloading table is where each shooter unloads and has his guns check before by another shooter before he leaves the table.
	September is always a very hot month.  This year was no exception. Here is our posse for the month.
	This is a good shot of our Big Bore Long Range Rifle shooting range up on the Brune Hill.  Once you click the photo to enlarge you can see the targets in the far distance. Long Range is just one of our Side Matches. Click HERE for more info.

	At 7:30 am before the Morning Meeting we have Cowboy Church. Click HERE to learn more.
	This is the Loading Table.  Each shooter is check that she or he has the correct amount of bullets in their guns.  The guns stay on this table till the timer says Shooter Up.
	Shooter takes, in this case, her guns and places them where the scenario instructs before starting her scenario sequence.
	Shooter carts are for carrying the shooters guns; pistols, rifle and shotgun.  They can be unique, like this one, or very simple as long as they can carry your guns safely.
	Some of our Shoot months have themes.  August is our Hawaiian Shoot.  The only shoot where short plants and short sleeves are allowed.
	We have had guest from all over the world.  Mamie and Longhair Jim have their visiting member from Norway.  He will be with us for several months.
	Out Texas Fast Draw has targets with timed lights in the center of them.  When they light the shooter must draw and shoot.  Click HERE to learn more

About photos: I take as many photos as I can at each event I attend.  I am not at every event so I need your help!  Pease email photos you have taken or post them at Gunsmoke Exchange.  We don't have room for all the photos everyone takes, as photo editor and webmaster, I will post those that are adaptable to the internet and most likely to be enjoyed by the largest number of site visitors.  Thanks for your help!
