ALCMSA Desperado Trail Winners

ALCMSA Desperado Trail was held at Millbranch Farms in Winfield on November 1, 2007. It was sponsored by MillBranch Farms and Alabama Farmers Cooperative, Inc. This was a fun shoot held for club members who like to take the word "cowboy" to the extreme. Contestants relive a piece of the Old West while competing for top prizes including a saddle, bridles, clippers, bits, trophies and top awards. Each competitor ran a timed course set up with targets staged as Indians and outlaws from the Old West while crossing logs, ditches and wooded areas of rough terrain.

Also held was a team competition where members were paired into teams. One team member would shoot half the course, come back to release his or her partner who was locked in jail on their horse. When released, the second member shot the other half of the course.

Great fun was had by all and everyone retreated back to the Millbranch homestead for a huge fish fry with great tasting fish fillets furnished by Lamar Peters, manager of Fayette Farmers Cooperative. After the awards were presented, everyone finished up with a sunset trail ride.
