SPIRIT OF THE WEST COWBOY GATHERING
JACKPOT SHOOTOUT
February 24-25, 2006
The Spirit of the West Jackpot was a huge success and a sure hit in the town of Ellensburg.  Riders from the greater Northwest area, including members from the Northwest Mounted Shooters, the Columbia Basin Mounted Shooters and the Oregon Mounted Shooting Association came to take the money back home to their respective states.  

And so they did! 

Cindy Griggs from Hermiston Oregon not only won the Overall Cowgirl title, and she also won the Overall Match!  Her sister, Colleen Winfrey also from Hermiston came in a close second in the Ladies top 10.  Colleen also won both the shotgun and the rifle jackpot!  Way to go cowgirls!

Mark Zueger from Cle Elum, Washington took home the Overall Cowboy check, while Oatmeal Graham from Selah, Washington took second in the Mens top 10.

As always, we could not hold a successful event without our sponsors and volunteers.
