Several local members of the Revengers of Montezuma recently returned from Norco, Calif., where they competed in the annual World Championship finals at the End of Trail SASS Shoot. The event was the third largest shooting competition in the United States.

Seven members of the local SASS mounted shooting club attended the End of Trail event in California. Nihla McCabe (also known as Helda Huginkiss) received a World Championship buckle for her third-place standing in the Number Two Division.

Also attending were Reed McCabe (aka Rico Star), Wanda Martin (aka Aneeda Huginkiss), Chuck Martin (aka Cannonball Charlie), Deena Teague (aka Kenya Huginkiss), Jeff Stewart (aka Piedra Kid), and Jennifer Stewart (aka Dolores Starr).

All shooters entered into the special drawing and Wanda Martin came home with a new black powder special drawing and a new Australian saddle called The Shootist.
