Flatwater West
Posted: Mon Apr 28, 2014 4:18 pm
……meanwhile, out in God's country, a couple of Flatwater refugees congregated to break some clays and gossip about our less fortunate brethren in Nebraska!!
Tom's an iron-man----we shot together Saturday morning at Quail Run (east of Parker)--he then shot a round at a course east of Colorado Springs---then another round east of Pueblo---all on Saturday. We met at Kiowa Creek early Sunday morning but the rain discouraged me----his plan was Kiowa Creek then Colorado Clays and finally Great Guns up by Ft. Collins all on sunday----don't know if he got rained out or not, but I admire his stamina.
I did have a near Flatwater experience. We got snowed in Sunday night in Cheyenne (60 miles from home). I found out after the fact that Vince (Setters Forever) was snowed in at a hotel about 1/2 mile away. Voss hook us up phone wise and we almost got together for breakfast but Vince was already in the Que on I-80 waiting for it to open. He was one, along with Andy C. and Big Tex that I was anxious to meet at their first Flatwater.
FWIW, Tom's running a Vintage sporting clays shoot over the 4th of July weekend in Saratoga, WY. Probably won't have the 1911's and AR's that Flatwater now has, but will be a first class event if Tom's running it. I'm planning on going---heck I hear that Sundog even attends---will be nice to see Ron again.
Sorry to have missed Flatwater this year, at least Bluestem (Brad) was there to uphold the dignity of the KS coalition!!
