Pringle, South Dakota
Black Hills Shootist Association Monthly meeting and shoot

It was a snowy day for shooting but a few folks came out in the weather. Turkey was prepared by Stoney Creek Jack and potato salad was made by Lilly Lu, with desert provided by Lu and Purty Lonesome. No official shoot was held, just a fun day due to the weather conditions.

Gun Show April 12 and 13th in Rapid City.- We need attendance both days of the gun show. Please contact Hawkbill (Rich) for the day(s) and times you can be there. Make sure to wear your cowboy duds.

Train Robbery Mothers Day (May 11th) Hill City- A scenario has been written for Mother’s Day, the Ladies will rob the train this year. We will rehearse the scenario at the April shoot. We will need a list of names of those planning on attending. Please let Hawkbill or Prairiebird know.

Scenario listed below & see attachment.
Calvary Days (June 6 & 7th) Sturgis- We will be robbing the bank downtown at noon.
The Sturgis committee has also requested a gun fight. Details are being worked out.
There will also be skits to perform at the City Park on Saturday.

Red Owl Memorial funds- The funds for building the stage for Red Owl was transferred today. A special account is being set up by the Treasurer so those funds will be spent on only that. This will allow us to track the spending more closely and we will be able to show Bonnie Sue how the money is spent.

Yearly Social discussion- All agreed all that the meal was good. There was $1047.00 made on the auction. For next year we have agreed to discontinue the bidding auction and replace it with a silent auction. More on this as the year progresses. We will continue the door prizes, games as before.

bullet source- Don Valley at Hermosa has been contacted to see what costs would be for bullets for the club. Our Chadron source is still available, but costs are going up due to his cost for material.

Work Day for Targets- It’s time to make new targets. Curly suggests a Sunday. Members are in agreement ….Curly….pick a day and give directions to your place, not everyone knows where you live!
