The upcoming Commanders Conference has been postponed until April 9th and 10^th due to the high chance of bad weather. Which means that the Black Powder shooters training and Range Officer training will be moved to the new date as well. The black powder training will be available to FCF boys as well as leaders. The class can only accept a limited number of participants, so make sure and contact Cletis 'No Powder' Coe for additional information.

Greetings,

This years Winter Trace turned out to be very cold but very exciting trace. We had 44 Young Bucks and 25 Old Timers. Two Gourds ran the trace and did a very good job. Four-way ran the Seneca Run and I heard that it was as good if not better than ever, Thanks Four-way.

Evan (Bubbles) Sligar completed his buckskin. No Fun Mouse Hawk did the testing and several other jobs at the same time, Thanks.

Bill (Shoot Straight) Stucky came up for the Wilderness Vigil, our Territorial Representative.  We had 11 that were to go through the Vigil, only 8 were able to attend. Michael (Red Neck) Wright, Austin (Toe Sucker) Seratte, Nick (Rabbit Head) Villalobos, Kolt Donaldson, Britton (NO Hawk) Wright and Zach (Blade Bender) Tyson for the Young Bucks. Doug (Night Hawk) Collins and David (Flintnapper) Atnip for the Old Timers. All was able to complete the Vigil except two of the Young Bucks. Toe Sucker and Blade Binder will complete it the next time just as Kolt and Britton came back this time and was successful. A true FCF Member never quits until his goal has been reached.

We have a lot of exciting news to tell. Be looking for an email.

 

Praise the Lord,

No Powder

Well, the Rendezvous is over but the memories for the 67 Young Bucks and Old Timers from the Indian Nation will last a lifetime. The weather was beautiful, the food was plentiful and fellowship was awesome. There were over 340 men and boys from both the Plainsmen and Mountainmen Territories that showed up for the event.

As expected, the Indian Nation took first place in the overall Chapter category. I'm sure having 67 of us up front of the rest of the group, singing the entire FCF song, was quite a site. A big congratulations goies out to Britton 'No Hawk' Wright for winning the scout competition with the new title of NATIONAL FCF SCOUT! Way to go No Hawk. The Young Bucks of the Plainsmen Territory will be counting on you to represent them well. And the entire Indian Nation chapter would like to thank you for your dedication.

Another congratulations goes out to David 'Flint Knapper' Atnip for taking the top prize for overall Old Timers. Winning the event with his quick work and steady hand earned him a really nice smoke pole. Great Job Flint Knapper!!

Here is a list of where each of the Indian Nation members finished in the competitions. A big HOO RAH to each and every one of you.
