Spotters MUST SEE A MISS, and any doubt will be given to the shooter. To remind all shooters once again: a. If you THINK IT HIT, you must score a HIT b. If you THINK IT MISSED, you MUST score a HIT c. If you see it HIT, then you score a HIT d. ONLY IF you clearly SEE IT MISS, then you call a MISS Spotters are reminded that spotting is an extremely important job in operation of a posse, and that some targets do not “ring” when hit as most do. Therefore, the absence of sound does not necessarily indicate the target has been missed. Spotters must SEE A MISS; anything less than that, or if the spotter has any doubt in their mind, they must call a HIT. 22. Scoring and Awards: Scoring will be in accordance with SASS Rules. However, a shooter must complete all scored main match stages to be eligible for a main match award.

Safety First……BUT please do have fun! 15 STAGE TWO WILD BUNCH Introduction Winter Range’s 20th Anniversary celebrates The Rough Riders. Not the present day volunteers that organize and run Winter Range, nor the initial volunteers that began Winter Range twenty years ago. No, we celebrate those original Rough Riders that volunteered to defend this country over one hundred and ten years ago during the Spanish-American War. R R R The First United States Volunteer Cavalry Regiment was one of three volunteer regiments raised in 1898 and the only one to see action. When Colonel Leonard Wood became commander of the Second Cavalry Brigade during the campaign, the regimental command fell to Teddy Roosevelt and it became known as “Roosevelt’s Rough Riders” “Remember The Maine” R R R P PK P P PK PK PK S S S S PHILTHY PHIL’S S S This battle-cry was heard throughout the country and was result of the incident described below: The Maine was only a second-class battleship. However, it was the largest ship ever to enter Havana harbor. To the Cubans, it was a floating American fortress right in their capital city. When the battleship Maine was mysteriously blown up in Havana Harbor, two hundred fifty-four seamen died, and fifty-nine sailors were wounded. Eight of the wounded later died. The Navy conducted an investigation into the cause of the disaster, but it never discovered who was responsible for the explosion. The American press, however, had no doubts about who was responsible for sinking the Maine. They declared that it was the cowardly Spanish. William Randolph Hearst’s New York Journal even published pictures. They showed how Spanish saboteurs had fastened an underwater mine to the Maine and had detonated it from shore. 16 LEFT CENTER 15 PISTOL 10 RIFLE RIGHT 4 SHOTGUN START: Standing with hands on hat at either the left or right hay bale.

They were made up of hunters, prospectors, cowboys, gamblers, Buffalo soldiers, American Indians, police officers, military veterans and college boys. They were all able bodied horsemen that knew how to shoot. Most came from the Southwest and were selected because they would be operating in a hot climate that the men would be used to. It was said “The difficulty in organizing was not in selecting, but in rejecting men” because so many answered the call.

If one reads any account of Rough Riders, it’s readily apparent that TR loved his regiment and was extraordinarily proud of them. He openly puts their valor and acts of courage above his own and clearly was a leader in every sense of the word. STAGE TWO R4 R1 R4 R2 R1 R3 R2 R3 In all the battle at San Juan and Kettle Hills cost the American forces 124 killed and 817 wounded. P2 S3 S4 S5 S6 P1 S1 S2 Epilogue “On the morning of September 15, 1898, the regimental property including all equipment, firearms and horses were turned back over to the United States government. The soldiers said one last good-bye to each other and the United States First Volunteer Cavalry, Roosevelt’s Rough Riders, was disbanded at last. Before they all returned to their respective homes across the country, Colonel Roosevelt gave them a short speech that commended their efforts in the war, expressed his profound pride and reminded them that, although heroes, they would have to integrate back into normal society and work as hard as everyone else. Many of the men were unable to gain their jobs back from when they lost them before leaving for war. Some, due to illness or injury, were unable to work for a long time. Money was donated by a number of wealthier supporters of the regiment and used to supplement the well-being of the needy veterans, many of whom were too proud to accept the help” 38 PHILTHY PHIL’S LEFT BALE 10 RIFLE S2 RIGHT BALE CENTER 10 REVOLVER S1 6+ SHOTGUN START: Shooter standing upright at either the left or right bale.

They began to fire on the Spanish in their trenches near the San Juan block house. As the infantry charged the hill Lieutenant Parker directed his Gatling’s onto the block house and the surrounding trenches. “It was the only sound which I ever heard my men cheer in battle” said Roosevelt. At this time six regiments were intermingled on Kettle Hill and Roosevelt was the senior officer as several Colonels had been wounded or killed in the other regiments. He then directed these troops to attack the block house on San Juan Hill.

A man known as much for his accomplishments outside of the office of President as in. Suffering from asthma as a child, he conditioned himself with exercise and hard work to overcome it. At Harvard he was on the Boxing team. He was the youngest member to be elected to the state legislature and wrote his first book at the age of 24. He became Police Commissioner of New York and then Assistant Secretary of the Navy. He is the only person in history to win both the Noble Peace Prize (the first American to do so) and the Medal of Honor.

Roosevelt, the lone horseman, led his command up the hill without orders because they were receiving a withering fire from the hill and it appeared that no regiment forward of them wanted to move. He led his troops through the regulars who then fell in behind and they charged up the hill. There is controversy as to which of the units, the Rough Riders, the Ninth Regulars, or some men of First Regulars actually made it to the top of the hill first. Five Troop Guidons were planted atop the hill.

In fact, I think he was the ideal of what an American regular army officer should be.” The fifth in line in his family to serve in the army, his father was also serving as a captain during the war. During the campaign, the farthest forward unit of Capron’s troop, commanded by Sergeant Hamilton Fish II, ran into some Spanish gunfire on the hill. Capron rode up and found a dead Cuban scout and Sergeant Fish lying in the middle of the road. Bringing up his troops and leading them into action, Capron was shot by a Spanish soldier. Brought to the rear by a Rough Rider, Capron died. He was highly praised by his commanders, including Roosevelt and was awarded a posthumous Silver Star in 1925.

LEGENDARY GUNS 24 R8 R6 33 “Sergeant, the Spanish Bullet isn’t made that will kill me.” Loved by the members of Troop A, William Owen “Bucky” O’Neill had a theory that an officer ought never to take cover - a theory which was, of course, wrong, though in a volunteer organization the officers should certainly expose themselves fully, simply for the effect on the men; our regimental toast on the transport running, ‘The officers; may the war last until each is killed, wounded, or promoted.’ As O’Neill moved to and fro, his men begged him to lie down, and one of the sergeants said, ‘Captain, a bullet is sure to hit you.’ O’Neill took his cigarette out of his mouth, and blowing out a cloud of smoke laughed and said, ‘Sergeant, the Spanish bullet isn’t made that will kill me.’ A little later he discussed for a moment with one of the regular officers the direction from which the Spanish fire was coming. As he turned on his heel a bullet struck him in the mouth and came out at the back of his head; so that even before he fell his wild and gallant soul had gone out into the darkness.

Both Capron and Hamilton Fish died there and Lieutenant Thomas had taken command of L Troop. He was then wounded in the leg and Lieutenant Day assumed command. Most of L Troop were from the Indian Territory (Oklahoma) and it was a “mixture of cowboys, Indians and half-breeds”. Roosevelt praises many of the American Indians (Native Americans) in his book and it was remarkable to see Indians and Indian fighters fighting for the same cause.

The newsman had been shot in the back and no one expected him to survive his wound. Struggling to remain conscious, the correspondent insisted on ignoring his pain to dictate his account of the battle at Las Guasimas and record it for the newspapers back home. For a time he was paralyzed from the waist down ,however he recovered sufficiently yet finally lost a leg to the injury.

He was wounded no less then seven times.” These wounds occurred over the span of a half-hour and he declined to leave the firing line. Finally the loss of blood forced him to retire to the rear. Tom Isbell was involved in a shoot out one time, and was in part saved by a fellow named Heck Thomas, a U.S. Marshal.
