Howdy Gunfighters!!
HISTORY WAS MADE!!!
The “VERY FIRST”, Cowboy Fast Draw Associations
Virginia State Championship was a success! And as predicted… “WE HAD A BLAST”!!!
Sorry I am just now getting the opportunity to post
the results. Mother Nature literally sent a bolt of lightening to my house over the weekend taking out my air conditioning,
3 TV’s, my Internet service, and the power cord to my computer! However, as of today, I am back up and running!!
Not only did we have a great match, but we Virginians
got to play host to some fantastic new friends! The CFDA is fortunate to have such great folks as members! We sincerely want
to thank everyone who made the trip to Virginia for their participation, assistance, and most importantly, their camaraderie
and friendship!
Also, finally got to meet Mississippi Marshall! What
a great guy! It was an honor to have him here and we appreciate his guidance, and advice throughout the match. We hope he
got home safely and carried with him warm thoughts about his new Virginia Friends! That is also the wish we have for all the
folks who made the trip. It was humbling and an honor to have you visit and participate with us!
As for the match, the results are posted below! It was
a great match! Thanks to all the competitors, and a special thanks to all the members of ODFD for their tireless work, efforts,
and support in contributing to our CFDA 2010 VA. STATE CHAMPIONSHIP!!!
Congratulations to our 2010 CFDA VIRGINIA STATE CHAMPIONS;

Sorry about the late Newsletter, been “BUSY”!!!
We have a lot of things going on at “Boothill”
and Old Dominion Fast Draw (ODFD)! We not only are having our normal monthly matches, but we are also working on preparations
for our Cowboy Fast Draw Associations very first VIRGINIA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP July 9th, 10th, and 11th!!!
The range is not only changing to facilitate the State Match, but to also facilitate current and future growth of ODFD. Thanks
to all who are putting in so much time working on the range. ODFD is very fortunate to have so many talented, generous, and
hard working members!! I will be making detailed announcements and sincere thank you’s to you all in the very near future!!
As for last month’s match (May), we had 26 Gunfighters
show up in Boothill Corral to “talk trash and throw wax!!” We even had our good friend from Kentucky, “Shane”,
visit and shoot with us. He is a fine gentleman and good Gunfighter! We always look forward to seeing him. Everyone’s
shooting skills are improving making it very hard at the beginning of the match to predict any results. This is making shootouts
on Boothill very interesting and exciting! When the shooting was over and the smoke cleared, winners were declared!! Congrats
to Bob Ed Pain for his hard fought win in the Men’s Division and Lil’ Ike for the same in the Women’s Division.
The complete results are listed below!!
We have practice scheduled for this Wednesday evening,

at 8:30am. The safety meeting starts at 9:30, and the Match begins at 10am! The fee for the match is $20.00 with an additional
fee of $5.00 if you use ODFD’s ammo. Everyone will shoot 6 rounds, the first two at 15’, rounds two and three
at 18’, and the balance of the match at 21’. After the sixth round, we will tally the number of “X’s”

"HOWDY GUNFIGHTERS!
Well March Madness on "Boothill" was
present and accounted for, twenty shooters showed up ready to "throw some wax down the line". It was a gorgeous
day on Boot hill! Weather in the low 70's and sunny, made us feel sorry for our Fearless leader (Rabid Ringo) and his wild
bunch of Virginians who was off to Texas for the "Texas State Championship" who was freezing their behind's off in the snow. "Congratulations"
to Rabid Ringo, Bob Ed Pain, Doc McWane and Rimrock for making us Virginian's proud in Texas.
Meanwhile ,the competition
on "Boothill" was fierce!
"Congratulations" to Chesterfield Kid and Lil' Ike for their
1st place finishes.
Melungeon fought hard and gave Chesterfield Kid a real run for the money, the competition was
tight but the "Kid" put on his serious face and "whooped" him.
Lil' Ike stayed consistent and finished off the competition
in the lady's division.
We had three new shooters who did great in their first competition, Sagebrush Coyote,
Fuzzy Fred and Lightning Dale.
Lightning Dale scared us all with his very first shot, it was the fastest time of the day
at a .419
Had us all looking at each other and running scared!
Thank-you to everyone who jumped in to help
with scoring, announcing and overall running of the match!
Special thanks to Sante Fe Shorty for being my right hand man,
Cavern Bill for all you do! Teresa Pollard for being score keeping aficionado, La Pelliroja for all your help and of
course Billie Sioux. We have a great group of people!
Look forward to seeing everyone at the April match on the
18th.
Shoot Straight!

slowly through the range and be conscious of staying in the cleared part of the road and please DO NOT get into the shoulders.
When parking at the range, either park on the side of the Clubhouse close to the road or in the road, not in front of the
clubhouse or indoor range. That area is untouched and has plenty of ice and snow. We do not want to get stuck or tear the
area up by getting unstuck!! Thanks for your help in this!
The weather looks like it is going to cooperate for this
weekends Monthly Match, Sunday January 26, 2010. It will be pretty much a duplicate of January’s match. Everyone will
shoot six rounds and we will be recording “x’s” as well as times to determine the top 5 shooters in each
division to meet in the Championship Format to determine awards for the top 3 places. The
first 2 rounds will be shot from 15 feet, rounds 3 and 4 from 18 feet, and 5 and 6 from 21 feet. The shoot off will be shot
from 21 feet. It will be a “shotgun primered” event. The fee for the match is $20.00 with an additional fee of
$5.00 if you use clubs ammo. Registration and pre-match practice starts at 8:30am, safety
meeting at 9:30, match starts at 10:00. Of course, we will
be shooting at our indoor range, “Boothill Alley”!
See ya there!!

OLD DOMINION FAST DRAW’S 2009 CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP
The date was November 7th and 8th
2009… Gunfighters from all around were gathering after a year of battling throughout Virginia to see who was left standing
while meeting “on the line”! It was time!!! Time for friends to meet again, time for guns and leather, and time
for “squinty eyes and itchy trigger fingers”. Time for Champions to be determined!!!
It was time for Old Dominion Fast Draw (ODFD) to gather
its members and friends for another meeting on “BOOTHILL” at the Roanoke Rifle and Revolver Club. You could feel
the excitement and tension in the air!
After Saturday morning registration and a safety meeting
in “BOOTHILL ALLEY”, Gunfighters began stepping up to the line to draw against their “luck of the draw”
predetermined fellow competitor. After handshakes, friendly encouragement, and a lot of “trash talk”, leather
was slapped and wax-was-a-flyin’!!! It was a wonder how this kind of excitement and competition could last for two days…
but is sure did!!
This is how the scoring went… we determined winners
of each day’s competition and points were accumulated. Then the points were added up for both days to determine “Overall
Placements and Winners”. The 1st place overall winners became the Event Champions and/or ODFD Club Champions.
First Place winners in both days’ events were
DOC MCWANE in the Men’s Division and LI’L IKE in the Women’s Division. Congrats to them both for each of
those wins as well as being determined OVERALL EVENT CHAMPIONS as well as ODFD’S 2009 CLUB CHAMPIONS.
Each day’s placements and overall placements are
listed below!
The FASTEST GUNS for the weekend were BOB ED PAIN for
the Men with a time of .448 and THUNDER COLT with a time of .638.
ODFD’s TOP GUNS for 2009 were BOB ED PAIN and
LI’L IKE… Congrats to them both!!!
It sure was an exciting year for Cowboy Fast Draw in
Virginia! ODFD had several exciting events throughout the year and 2010 promises to be even better! We keep having a lot of
fun while making new friends such as three folks that drove in from Kentucky to shoot with us in the Sweet Shoot. We really
enjoyed meeting Shane, Kentucky Lawman, and Kentucky Rose. Great folks, great competitors, and great new friends to ODFD!!
Stay tuned for info on 2010’s ODFD Schedule!!
Hope to see ya soon!!!
