Peacemakers Dec Cowboy Match, and More

Merry Christmas to all Peacemakers. Our December 20 match will be indoors, so no shotguns, black powder or carts. Arizona Buffalo Joe has written 5 stages which are linked below. Feel free to decorate your outfit for Christmas (within reason). Registration at 8:15 a.m. Shoot starts after 8:50 a.m. safety meeting.

The club officers met last Monday. The meeting minutes and the 2026 schedule are linked. Highlights: March 14 will be the annual club banquet at Pizza Ranch in Bloomington. There will be three Wild Bunch and two Quigley matches this year. The June and July cowboy matches will be one week earlier to avoid conflict with the Beloit Reckoning on the Rock Match and the Milan Illinois State Match. A “new shooter” clinic is planned for May 31.

Rule Changes – Wild Bunch

A Peacemaker member for 11 years has passed on to the big roundup. Johnny Whitehawk, aka Leland Pirtle, hadn’t shot for a couple of years, but many of us knew him. He repaired and welded many of the target stands for the club. He will be missed.

Arizona Buffalo Joe and Tomahawk Johnson built new steps for the McLean County Mercantile Prop Tuesday the 9th. Joe’s heated shop worked out excellently.
