them. So

Sometimes
there are special events that are held. Among these are the
Leadville shooting
classes given by the 5-time World Champion Tequila. I had the privilege of
attending his class at the Tin Star Ranch, in Fredericksburg, Texas back in
September, 2001. I had such a good time, that I hosted Leadville in
Bloomington, Illinois in September, 2002. In additions, we "capped off"
our 2003 season by attending the SASS convention in Las Vegas, Nevada in
December. In 2004 we attended the SASS Family Reunion in Gatlinburg,
Tennessee.
