Top 5 Aggregate scores, for those who chose to donate to the Aggregate blanket were: Bob DeLisle, 1st, Mike Nesbitt 2nd, Doug Simpson 3rd, Tom Witt 4th, Jim Robertson 5th.

2009 Booshway BO Brown held a Free Trappers meeting to discuss Rain Dee Voo after-action followed the shoot.
There were generally favorable reports with improvements identified for target on the shooting trail and discovery of an inequity in scoring of the archery trail in that apparently any hit was given full credit which biased the results as compared to the knife & 'hawk.

Key positions have willing volunteers with Don Kerr agreeing to be Trail Chief for the shooting trail, Tim Sampson for the Knife & 'hawk and Jim Robertson/Ralph Birmingham taking on the task of Segundo.
"At Press Time" news was received that the "Gather At the Fort" event has been cancelled freeing up the first weekend in April.

The April shoot will follow the usual pattern with an optional Aggregate Blanket for those donating a $5 value item.
