Defend Devil’s Drop


A Cowboy Action Shooting event in a remote scenic prairie setting. 
Home cooked meals, friendly folks, and local history. 

Located on Bow View Farm along the banks of the West Bow Creek
in eastern Knox County near Crofton Nebraska.
Take Hwy. 12  west from Crofton 1 mile to county blacktop, 550th  Ave. (old Hwy. 121) and go south on 550th  Ave. 3 ¾ miles across the Bow Creek bridge.  Turn west and follow the drive.

Saturday, April 25th    9:00AM sign up with a safety meeting at 9:30. 
We will have 6 Main Match stages, and a hearty meal as well. 
We’ll set up Friday and maybe get some practice in Friday evening.
We can finish things up Sunday morning with some extra fun matches.
We recognize the standard SASS categories, the GAF battle rifle class structure and a few other optional classes. 

The cost of this cowboy match is $20 per shooter.

Guns of the Old West:  single action revolvers, pistol caliber lever action rifles, military or buffalo rifles and old time shotguns.  Your score is your time plus penalties for misses and such.  Low score wins.  An honest effort to dress in appropriate “old west” style clothing is appreciated.  We will be following SASS safety and scoring rules as best we can for the Cowboy Action main match and side matches. With everyone pitching in everything should run smoothly.

Defend Devil’s Drop 2009

   On April 25th, we once again gathered along the banks of the West Bow Creek to defend Devil’s Drop from hostile elements in the area.  The day was breezy and typical of springtime in northeast Nebraska Territory. 
   We started off with hot coffee and some homemade rolls so we could fortify ourselves for the coming battles.
We shot three skirmishes in the morning.  For lunch, Maggie provided a “stick to your ribs” beef stew and biscuits followed by homemade pie.  So with satisfied stomachs and tighter belts we faced the hostiles three more times.  Then A few of us  did some squirrel hunting (shooting 2 in disks on a dueling tree) to  top off the day. 
   We appreciate those that were able to help clear the battlefields at the end of the day.  I want to thank each of you that came and shoot with us.  I hope to have more gatherings near Devil’s Drop in the future.


Happy shooting,   Bow View

I don't know if any of the Devil's Drop shooters will read this, but I am trying to think of a good dat for 2010.
I am looking for a Saturday, the first half of the season.
Any Ideas?
