G"Day and Thanks Dakota. Thanks again for the use of your "38" @ the Black Podwer Match.
Not sure what all type information your looking for, but here goes. I am a Native Texan, borned in Brownfield, the Panhandle of Texas and lived in that area until I finished HS. Went in the Navy straight out of HS, spent 20 years, working as a Gunner Mate. Had one tour of duty out of Norfolk, VA, 2 Med crusies and 1 North Atlantic and the rest off the West Coast and being Navy most of the time was on board ship and @ sea. My trip to Australia this time was not my first downunder. I had been to Austtralia 4 or 5 times and into several different places. Everytime I have been there even during V.N. War, the people was great.
After I retired from the Navy in 1987, I went work for the Navy as a civilan, using some of the knowledge I learned while in the Navy. Now I work in Camden, Arkansas and live in New Boston, TX on the Weekend, surpporting government contractor in building missiles and putting them in Vertical Launch Canisters and sending them to the Fleet, the US, RAN and others. Some people seem to thing that I know more about the operation and have the abilitiy take care troubles when other people are not able to. That is why I went to Orchard Hills. They was starting a new process at the facility there to do some work we are doing in Camden and had been trying for 8 or 9 days to remove some missile from the canisters. When they put the team together, they said a person from this company and this company and another from the government and Levi has to go.
When I was station in Camden in 2001, is when I learned about Cowboy Action Shooting and I started shooting in 2002. Being in New Boston, Texas the Badlands Bar 3 run by T-Bone Dooley (Leader of the Dooley Gang) is the closest range. That has been my good luck, the quality of shooter @ the Badlands on any given weekend is hard to match. We have 6 present and past World Champions shooting there regular and 4 or 5 others that come in and shoot with us. Our Annual Match this year we had the Judge and about 10 present and past World Champions there, who all I am not sure, I had to fly out late friday and miss the fun. T-Bone and Nut-An-Graceful will both help anyone who ask for help. They setup training to help out club members improve so when the Dooley Gang goes to a shoot, people knows the Dooley Gang was there.
The Dooley Gang moto is work hard on the posses, doing what needs to be done, Have fun, Be Respectful, Wear your Dooley Gang Purple Arm Band with Pride and do your best, no crying. To become a Dooley Gang Member this is what you agree to do. This year @ EOT we went International. We have members in Australia, New Zealand and Europe.
Guess I wrote a novel, instead of a short story, if you have question, I will try and answer them.
Thanks for the seat, hope it don't throw me, this OLD Classic Cowboy needs an Old Gentle Pony.
Have a Happy New Years,
Levi
