News from the town of Chimney Rock
Volume 8, Issue 2
Crap Shoot Follow-up, AnnualWestern
Regionals, and more summer events ahead
Howdy folks;
We at the RR Bar range have had another great year and we hope all of you
have also had a good year. The Crap
Shoot At Chimney Rock was the second
weekend of April again this year. The
stages were written by several regular
shooters so we had a good variety to
shoot at. This year we had a couple surprise guests for dinner. Mimi Rogers
Stewart came and spoke thanking the
Double R Bar for being there and all the
work we still do for Happy Trails. She
accepted our SIX THOUSAND dollar
check on behalf of the Happy Trails
board of Directors. Also RR Bar # 1 yep
our clubs"" founding
father""J.R. Holliday
AKA Ken Driley was
present this year. He
presented us with some
of the original paper
work for from when he
and Dusty started
working
to create the
Five Jacks
Double R Bar. We all
thanked him for our club.
We have decided to move the Crap
Shoot to the third weekend in 2016 so
we are not up against the Cajon Cowboys and see if that makes it more convenient for more people. The Lions have
already given the O.K. for the switch.
2015 SASS Western Regional

Cherry-Berry Crisp
a recipe by
Diamondback Jack
3 cups mixed fruit (I like to use a 14oz can of tart, pitted cherries, about ¾ cup of frozen cranberries,
halved or quartered, and the remainder in frozen blueberries.
3/4 cup Sugar (use more or less according to personal taste)
2 tbsp Flour
Topping
1/2 cup Flour
1/2 cup Old fashioned oats
1/2 cup Brown sugar
1/2 cup Margarine or butter
Combine fruit, sugar, and 2 tsp flour in bowl and mix well. Let the mixture set for about half an hour, to let
the flavors meld. Prepare topping.
Combine dry ingredients in large bowl. Mix well and cut in margarine or butter until crumbly.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Pour fruit into 8 x 11 glass baking dish, sprayed with cooking spray.
Spread topping evenly over fruit, and bake for 40 to 50 min. ‘till topping is golden brown.
For a real treat, serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
“FYI” I usually buy a few bags of fresh Ocean-Spray cranberries when they are available and keep them in
my freezer. They freeze well and add a really nice tart flavor to recipes like this one. They’re also good in
muffins and pancakes.
I hope you enjoy the recipe.
Susie Chapstick, She Ain’t
A cowboy rode into town, stopping at the saloon.
He then moved slowly to the back of his horse,
lifted its tail, and placed a big kiss were the sun
don't shine. He dropped the horse's tail, and
stepped up on the boardwalk and aimed towards
the swinging doors.
"Hold on there, Mister..." said the Sheriff, watching him closely.
"Sheriff?"
"Did I just see what I think I just saw?"
"Reckon you did, Sheriff...I got me some powerful
chapped lips..."
"And that cures them?" the Sheriff asked.
“Nope, but it keeps me from lickin' em.

I had a great time shooting the Crap Shoot at Chimney Rock. One of the best ranges with good stages.
BUT the shooters, they made me feel right at home.
Special thanks to them, Pack Rat, Mr. Hawk, Mexican Rob and the rest of Posse 2. Maybe next year a
"re-shoot." LOL. Arizona Ric
Mark Dittmer; April 16th
Thank you, Regulators! I had a great time and enjoyed
the stages.
Howdy Regulators!
We had a great time at the Happy Trails Dinner on Saturday night.
Thank you to all that came out and helped. Lady Black Rose has
been posting pictures so you all can see what we look like cleaned
up!!
I had the pleasure of talking with Omar from Alfonso's of Hollywood that night and he told me that the little [video] commercial
we made at the range in our town was on YouTube! Go to: https://

May 2nd Happy Trails and Lucerne Valley Lions held the
4th Annual High Desert Shooting Fun Fair. This event is
open to the public for free, till they want to shoot any of
the many, many guns provided. They pay for the ammunition they use plus some. The proceeds are shared between Happy Trails and the Lions Club. I think this year
there were four guns won that day. The RR Bar had
around sixty people shoot our stage. I would like to thank
them. I do not name names when thanking people because I would skip somebody then I'M in trouble. So
thanks guys if you were there helping, you know it.
May 16 was the Friends of Happy Trails Banquet. At
this event the RR Bar helps in a lot of ways: we run all the
games, stand guard over all the prizes and auction items.
Our members record and make sure all firearms taken
care of properly so they don't leave till the FFL work is
done. We also draw the winner for annual prize which
was a '73 short rifle in 45 long colt."" Rifle only"" —I hid
and put a lock and chain on my case that we used to display the rifle all year. Next year we should have a pair
E.M.F. 71/2 357 six shooters.
We have started summer hours. We start shooting at
8:00 A.M. That's all I got as always I am two "or more''
days late.
Thanks for playing this game with me, Five Jacks

May Banquet
Attendees of the Spring Banquet for Happy Trails
Foundation should be very proud of their dedication
to helping raise money for Cooper Home. The banquet tables were filled this year, meaning a better
turnout than in previous years.
That’s a good thing.
Entertainment was top notch with award winning
Red Hot Rhythm Rustlers, who sang old-time cowboy-themed songs that their band’s leader, Marvin
O’Dell, had recently written.
The live auction, filled with fast-paced action with
beautiful auctioneer, Johan Graham, was a favorite
part of the evening.
The silent auction and drawing prize tables offered a
wonderful and wide selection of Western and movie
era items from sponsors. Many thanx to our local
restaurants that offered numerous dinner certificates. Check out the Happy Trails Foundation web
site in June for current winners.

The winner of the Double R Bar Regulators

dollars for the foundation was a local High Desert lady. — That doesn’t happen very often to
have the winner seated at the dinner!!
Congrats! And a great job by Lady Black Rose
for selling tickets all year long.

During the Happy Trails Spring banquet held in May, our Double R Bar
Regulators folk were again introduced as major contributors to
Happy Trails Foundation.
To honor that distinction, Joel
“Dutch” Dorsch, had previously presented the group with two outstanding silver buckles to be used as fund raisers
during 2015.
For $20 you’ll get 25 tickets, and
single tickets are only $1.00.
Each buckle — “Top Hand” and
“Cattle Baron” — are being offered separately in our annual
opportunity drawing. We sell
tickets all year. As you can see
by the shimmering photos, these
are belt buckles worthy of holding up your best rigs.
Notes
From the
Editor --760.646.2661
Racing into summer now, after a long cool
Spring. I like that. Now it’s time to brave the
heat during your shooting events here and elsewhere. Good luck with your shoots!
