The next match will be September 15th. Due to the heat there is not interest in us having the summer practice matches. Once the sun comes up it is definately hot out there. Keep safe and cool until we see you the 3rd Sunday of September.
Congratulations to our own Cowboy Jon for his second-place finish in the world championship at End of Trail. The Buckaroo category was large and deep with top shooters. Down the road this Miakka Misfit will surely be back to End of Trail to win a first place. Here is a photo of Cowboy Jon with his EOT trophy.
The May Match scores have been posted to the website. Cowboy Jon and Deadly Don finished first and second today and they both will be going next month out west to shoot at End of Trail. We wish them the best of success at the world championship. Congrats to High Stump, our only clean shooter today.
Due to End of Trail we are not shooting next month so our next summer match (which is really a practice) will be July 21, 2019 if we hear from enough members that want to come out and practice. If we do not hear that you all want the practices, our next regular match will be September 15, 2019 when it hopefully is a little cooler.
Until then, Happy Trails!
Starting Sunday May 19th begins our time to wear summer clothes including shorts and sport shirts. We understand that the heat can be brutal so we want to make it easier for you to come and shoot. See you Sunday!
I am very sorry to report that our Easter Match has been cancelled. The shooting range has decided to close this Sunday April 21st for Easter and will reopen on April 25th. We were very much looking forward to the match. Hope to see you May 19th!!

This coming Sunday, February 17th is our monthly match! I hope to see everyone taking advantage of this beautiful Florida weather.
How many of you remember this little guy who shot his first round down range with us three years ago? Well he won the overall for our match last month against some really good and fast shooters. It's Cowboy Jon and he will be going to End of Trail this June to try to be the World Champion Buckaroo! Be sure to give Cowboy Jon your support when you see him. The competition at End of Trail is fierce.
This shady character is Marauder Martinez. Be on the look out for him. He is a brand new member of SASS and the Miakka Misfits. Marauder shot his first ever match last month with us. He had a great match and a lot of fun. He will be with us again for our match this coming week. Marauder clearly has to be considered armed and dangerous.
Howdy Pards!!
Reminder: The Miakka Misfits monthly match is this Sunday (1/20/19) at 9:00AM. Carry on....

It is with much sadness that we report that Lost River Bill (aka William Breithaupt) passed away last Thursday evening. Lost River Bill was a past Director of the Miakka Misfits and regularly shot with us until his health began failing and it was no longer possible.
This picture of Bill is from our Magnum P.I match two years ago. Bill was always ready to help with anything that was needed. He was a great pleasure to be around and to talk to. Funeral arrangements are being handled by Manasota Memorial Funeral Home in Bradenton. The Miakka Misfits send their prayers and condolences to Bill's family.
Cowboy, you will be very missed.
The Miakka Misfits annual Magnum P.I. match planned for tomorrow (Sunday) has been cancelled. The Manatee Gun Club range is closed due to a significant lightning hit and lightning damage. The range will be adopting new rules about closing the range with approaching lightning for everyone's safety.
The March 2018 Match results have been posted to the website. It was beautiful shooting weather. Today's twenty shooters had a great time and great match.

Our next match will be April 15th and we hope to see you there. Our May match will be our Magnum P.I. match.
