Important Safety Announcement:

Folks,

Please DO NOT THROW empty paint cans in burn barrels.

Mary Clements called me this morning, and said when she lit the burn barrels after our August Steel Challenge match, a pressurized paint can blew up and threw the burning can some distance away.

Thankfully, she was not injured, but she was pretty shaken.

I will ensure we have a separate trash receptacle for paint cans at future Bandera matches.

Folks,

It breaks my heart to cancel, but with the 14+ inches of rain we've gotten in the last couple of days, on Saturday the range will still be a swamp and slippery as heck.

Those who paid online have been refunded.

Please come join us in August, with guest match director Gregg K!
