The South Carolina Old West Shootists (SCOWS) held their regularly scheduled monthly “Second Sunday” match for July on Sunday, July 10, 2022, in the Cooper Pistol Bays at the Mid-Carolina Rifle Club. Because of threatening weather, the match was shortened to 3 main stages, which were based on events that occurred in the Old West during the mid to late 19th Century and a bonus stage, courtesy of Cheyenne Jim, where shooters had to test their proficiency with their rifle. Unfortunately, the aforementioned threat of rain arrived right in the middle of the bonus stage, and only about half of the shooters were able to complete the bonus stage.
Seven (7) shooters braved the rainy weather forecast and came out to shoot on a warm (but not exceedingly hot) VERY humid and grey day.
Here are the match results, by category:
Town Marshal Score
Sgt. R. Henry, 1st Place 176.52
Working Cowboy
MoonShine, 1st Place 42.89
4 Gun Black Powder Shootist
Manassas 230.89
4 Gun Smokeless Shootist
Youghiogheny Kid, 1st Place 233.35

4 Gun Smokeless Outlaw Double Duelist
