Posting on behalf of Madeline:

It is that time of year again!  This year is special because the LFGA is celebrating the 100th year of serving the community so come on out to the 21st Annual Frank Leffingwell Memorial Shoot and join in the fun.  This year there should be in excess of $4,000.00 in prizes to be given away.(Dependent on the number of registrations).  Please remember it is first come, first served and there is no such thing as please count me in without the $$.  See you in August!!!!
 
Thanking you in advance and stay safe.

First group shoot at Rosebud in 2023 is in the bag. Good turnout for the Heavy Iron shoot, the annual unlimited class shoot. A lot of out of town shooters joined us. A number of bag gun shooters braved the competition, in particular Mark Dumont beat the stuffing out of the rail guns in Unlimited 100 yard 10 shot matches. Kudos to Mark!

Possible records have been sent to the scoring committee:
Dean Weger with a .337" 10 shot group at 200 yards, with the current record being a .333"
And Hugh Williamson with a 5-shot 200 Yard aggregate of .1799" with the current record being a .1836"

Thanks to all that made this shoot happen, helpers, volunteers and the Rosebud Club!

See everyone at the Stampede Shoot in July.

Rick

Reminder to everyone that we Rosebud will have our Heavy Iron shoot on June 10-122. This is an all unlimited class shoot where shoot both 5-shot groups and 10-shot groups at 100 and 200 yards. This is a BRSC registered tournament.
