Gunsmoke 2020

Well, Gunsmoke 2020 is over. Several Illowa Irregulars were there, as were a few others who regularly shoot at Camden Mills. There were 157 shooters spread out among 12 posses this year. As always, it was good to see everyone.

  • JW James – Midwest Regional Champion
  • Popcorn Kelly – 4th place

Clean Shooter: Badlands Charlie, Will Dunn, Foyster O’Rippy
(This is a horribly incomplete list – CVV has not published a clean shooter list and I can’t remember all of them. I am certain I’ve missed several who would be listed if I only knew of them. I’ve requested the clean shooter list and will update this section if I receive it.)

Congratulations to everyone who attended. If I left anyone off the above list I apologize.

Now it’s on to Fall Round-Up. Work begins in earnest soon to get Camden Mills ready for what should be a magnificent weekend. Yee Haw!
