THSS Trailhead 2017 Day 4: Side Matches
2017-03-26 09:00 - 12:00 (America/Chicago) | Gunsmoke, Texas, 1147 FM 1890, Columbus, TX, 78934, United States
The final day of Trailhead features three different side matches. The fun starts at 9:00 am.
Master Gunfighter
This “mano y mano” match pits two shooters against each other to see who can shoot five drop down targets in the fastest time. Shooters pair up and compete, winner moves on.
Couples Shoot
This is a fun husband-and-wife match where couples work together on a stage that uses several buildings at Gunsmoke. Teamwork is key, as sometimes they might have to do humorous things such as hold hands when moving between buildings.
Team Shoot
Competitors are randomly drawn into groups of four and compete against the other groups.

THSS August 2017 Match (Hawaiian/Swimsuit Theme)
2017-08-20 08:30 - 14:00 | Gunsmoke, Texas, 1147 FM 1890, Columbus, TX, 78934, United States
Theme: Hawaiian / Swimsuit
Shooters Meeting: 8:30 am
Cost: $15 for THSS members, $20 for non-members, Free for spectators
Optional: $8 for catered lunch

Since the August match is one of the hottest matches in terms of temperature, it is also the THSS Hawaiian Shoot. The normal cowboy dress code is relaxed. You can wear as much, or as little, Hawaiian theme clothing as you want. The only requirements are that you must wear your hat, boots, and gun leather.
This year, Doc Boedecker came up with the idea to have an Old West Bathing Suit competition, so dress that style if you can. An Internet search for “Victorian Bathing Suit” will help you find just the right striped onesie or bathing costume. Should make for quite a photo!

Anything else goes, Hawaiian print shirts, tank tops, grass skirts, shorts, swimsuit, you get the idea. Come on out and have some fun, the wilder the outfit, the better. Naturally, this is all volunteer, not a requirement. If you want to shoot in your regular cowboy clothing, that is fine, people can do whatever they want.
The match will be Sunday, August 20
