From Valrico Kid & Marcia to all the wonderful Cowboys and Cowgirls who we know, love and enjoy so much sharing time together and playing at our game of Cowboy Action Shooting.

The last three years of being Match Director has been a wonderful experience. The goals that Marcia and I had were simple – make sure we took care of our participants and make sure they had a good time. We were always looking for new things to do and new things for shooters to look forward to.

We loved to hear the laughter as shooters blasted pumpkins and other garden products. It was fun to see ‘special’ costumes worn at our Halloween match. We started the ‘Kick Brass Challenge’ so shooters could have fun in a contest within a contest, and be rewarded for their best efforts with a Championship Badge. We experimented with the first, of hopefully many, ‘Gunslinger Challenge’. The concept of something totally different springing up w/o notice or regularity to offer yet another opportunity for shooters to do something different, play outside the ‘box’ and win a special award.

We hope we succeeded in some ways or fashion to make your experiences at Doodle Hill Regulators something out of the ordinary, maybe even ‘special’ in some ways.

It is with deep sadness and regrets that because of some life and health issues that we must step aside from our positions with DHR. We look forward to seeing you all again down the trail when circumstances allow.
