Nice Shooting Ash!!
MIAMITOWN, OHIO 08/25/08
All the Rangers stuck around and shot on Sunday.
Dale Sowards had a qualified win in the Mens Level 1 Class. This was his
MOVE UP win. WOW!! What a GREAT buckle he won from 1st OHIO CMSA.
Ashley Boyce won Laddies Level 3 for her 2nd qualified win. Laddies 4's
look out.
Dog Days Of Summer Shoot Saturday
The Rangers were running hard and fast at the last Vigo
County Shoot of the year. Saturday was a great shooting day for Dale
Sowards who won men's level 1 with his first qualified win. Just 1 more
for the buckle Dale!! Kenny Flick battled neck to neck with Duane
Boyce to secure a qualified win in men's level 2. Good shooting
Kenny! Rhonda Hayes won her ladies level 3 MOVE UP BUCKLE
on her smoking fast gelding "Cowboy"!!!! You go girl!!!! Cami
White won first both days in the wrangler class. Watch Cami next year
when she starts shooting!!!
Jim Hayes (alias "Plain Ole Jim") won the Men's Reserve Overall and shot
CLEAN!! Nice shooting Jim! Laddies overall was won by the
lovely and sweet Adrianne Fowler. Ladies reserve was won by Ashley
"Little Sure Shot" Boyce. Make sure you don't find yourself in the cross
hairs of these two chicks.
Dog Days Of Summer Shoot Sunday
Sunday was another great Ranger day! Gregg Goelkner won
his men's Level 1 MOVE UP BUCKLE by shooting clean with
6 shooters in the class. Way to shoot Gregg!! Duane Boyce (alias "Pee
Wee") had his first qualified men's Level 2 win on his 3 year old
"Diggs"!!! Good job Pee Wee!!!
Sunday the Overall winner was awarded an OVERALL BUCKLE!!!
The winner was our own Richard Fowler!! Go figure! He and his
gorgeous steed "Chisel" fell down on the 3rd stage but arose from the
dust running like a phoenix. In an interview after the match we were
told the reason he won was the fact that "Chisel" loves him.
Whatever!
Laddies Reserve was won by Dottie Linville. She signed autographs
after the shoot. Great job Dottie!
Only 2 crashes to report: The lovely Laurie Barbre crashed ( she did not
even cry) and finished the shoot like a real tough cowgirl. Adrianne
Fowler crashed (she whined, whined and whined a little more) but
finished the shoot like a true Ranger!! These are two tough Cowgirls!
Saturday night found the Rangers raising the roof off the Texas
Roadhouse!! Sunday morning found several Rangers enjoying pancakes,
bacon and sausage cooked by the "Martha Stewart" of the Illiana
Rangers, Adrianne Fowler. Boy can that girl cook!!!

"FEED" Saturday night!
5/19/08 UPDATE
The Rangers held their 1rst shoot at the Putnam County
Fairgrounds and despite all attempts by Mother Nature to shut us down, the
shoot went on. Saturday the arena was to wet to use, so after
checking out the entire facility, we found that the tractor and horse pull
area was dry enough so we moved the shoot to that location.
Saturday night we were treated to a SPECTACULAR Fireworks Display at the
fairgrounds. None of the horses seemed to mind to much and all the
spectators enjoyed the display!!
Saturday Results - Brad Grable got his 1rst qualifying win
as a Level 1, Mike McCool won his class and moved up to a Level
3. Mike will be sporting his new Ranger move up buckle at the June
Shoot, so be sure and check it out!! John Sinclair, Richard Fowler
and Mike McCool all shot clean. Rangers Richard Fowler, Jim Hayes,
Bob Chattin, Mike McCool, Steve Miller and Duane Boyce were all in the Top
10.
Sunday Results - Ray Quinn got his 1rst qualifying win as
a Level 1 and Kenny Flick had a qualifying win as a Level 2. Dale
Sillery and Adrianne Fowler shot clean. Adrianne Fowler won overall
and Jim Hayes, Bob Chattin, Kenny Flick, Steve Miller, Duane Boyce and Ben
Butler were also in the Top 10.
A special Thanks to Jolene Knauss (proud parent of Ranger
Alexis Knauss) who manned the Concession Stand and provided lots of
good food and snacks for everyone this weekend!!
Rangers, we have lots of exciting events coming up, so be watching your
emails for details!!!
5/6/08 CORRECTION
Adrianne Fowler won Overall on Sunday, which counted as a qualifying win
for her. Cary Barrow won Men's Overall. I'm sorry Adrianne!!
5/5/08
Rangers Cary and Chrissy Barrow, Duane, Lisa and Ashley Boyce, Ben and
Marsha Butler, Bob Chattin, Richard, Adrianne and Joy Fowler, Jim, Rhonda
and Alysia Hayes, Alexis Knauss, Dottie Linville, Steve Miller and Kami
White all had a great time shooting at Mudville (Opps, I meant Rushville)
this weekend. Despite the wind, rain and mud, the shootin did go
on!!
Duane Boyce almost had to have help loading up all the
awards he won the weekend. He won his class both Saturday and
Sunday, shot clean both days, got limited overall on Sunday AND moved up
to a Level 2. Congratulations Duane!!!!
Overall was won both days by Rangers. Bob Chattin on
Saturday and Cary Barrow on Sunday. Way to go guys!!!!
Limited Wrangler Kami White has moved up from cap pistols to dry firing
real guns to get ready for next year.
Please keep Larry Rutledge in your prayers. His
father passed away last week.
Our 1rst Ohio brother Dan App had a heart attack after
completing the 2nd stage at Rushville on Saturday. Richard Fowler
and Karen Lee who are both EMT trained took care of him until the
ambulance arrived. Dan was taken to a local hospital and then
transferred via helicopter to the Heart Center in Indianapolis. He
had 1 artery 100% blocked and another 20% blocked. He had a stint
inserted which corrected the problem. Ben and I visited him today
and he says he should be going home tomorrow. He isn't very happy
that the doctors say he'll have to miss the Classic next weekend, but says
he feels much better!!
4/21/08
Shame on me, I forgot to mention all the awards being won by Rangers!!
Let's start off with the move ups!!
Our President Jim Hayes won a move up to Level 5. Rumor has it that
he might have to get a bigger horse to carry around that big, new buckle!!
Don Utley besides "letting it all hang out" moved up to a
Level 2. He'll also be sporting a new buckle. Let's hope he
gets a new pair of pants to go with it.
Nancy Latham won Ladies Limited Reserve for Levels 1 &
2 on Saturday and won a fancy leather halter.
At the Grand AM on Sunday, Rangers, Dale Gibhaudy, Jim Hayes and
Adrianne Fowler won their respective classes.
Our Grand AM was followed up by the big shoot at Tunica. My results
from that shoot are kind of sketchy, but here's what I know. Bob
Chattin placed 77th out of 279 and Richard Fowler placed 96th. The
big winner was Adrianne Fowler who won Ladies Reserve and came home with
$1800, a new pistol and a new saddle pad. Congratulations to all of
you!!
4/17/08
Wow, what a busy but exciting couple of weeks we've
had. Rangers Jim Hayes, Steve Miller, Dale Ghibaudy and Nancy Latham
represented our club at the Hoosier Horse Fair.
The following week we hosted our Grand AM in conjunction
with the Indiana Rough Riders at the Cloverdale Arena and Expo
Center. What a fantastic facility and a great turnout. We had
86 riders on Sunday and the Rough Riders had about the same number on
Saturday! We also had lots of excitement at Cloverdale, we had
vendors, a professional photographer (check out www.coolshotphotography.com
to look at or order photos) and a 50/50 drawing that netted the club
$117. Ranger Ray Quinn was the first to start the rodeo section off
by getting pitched from his new horse "Bucky" on Friday
night. Not to be outdone, Ranger Don Utley "let it all hang
out" on Saturday when his horse set him on top of the saddle
horn. The rest of us just rode, shot and had a good time!
