Mule Camp - May, 2007 by Apache Belle
At the end of May, several of the Bayou Bounty Hunters traveled to Mule Camp in Covington, Georgia. A black powder match was shot Thursday morning, side matches Thursday afternoon and six stages were shot on Friday and six stages on Saturday. The shooters shot either morning on Friday (7:30 a.m.) and afternoon (12:30 p.m.) on Saturday, or afternoon on Friday and morning on Saturday. We managed to get the best shooting schedule. We shot Friday afternoon, which was warm, but comfortable, and allowed us to sleep in and still have time to check out the vendors. Saturday morning was cool, but not enough for Emmitt to take out the buffalo coat. When you weren’t shooting, you could walk into “town” – a large area up the hill where the food, clothing, gun, leather, etc. vendors are assembled. There were also entertainers in the “big tent” and around the grounds, such as a medicine show, a fast draw shooter, a magician, and several singers. A schedule of who was doing what and where was included in your packet.
This shoot was very well organized and a lot of fun. We did tire of the somewhat long walks and the rocks which I think were supposed to be gravel. The stages are cut into the hill and were a pleasant walk downhill or an unpleasant walk uphill depending on your direction and the temperature. They were quick, but still fun. The theme of the match was scenes from Lonesome Dove, so we got to say some of the great lines from the movie such as, “We don’t rent pigs!” while standing next to a wagon and holding a plastic pig. There was a really fun stage which included the Texas Star (I’m sure we’ll see that shooting sequence on our range in the future!).
Many of our fellow shooters managed to bring home Mule Camp belt buckles and one our very own BBHs (Tobin Kid) brought home two!!! Here are the results best I could extract the info from the Mule Camp website:
