NORTHWEST COLORADO RANGERS

 

It is time again to get ready for  “Where the Old West Stayed Young” our annual match over Memorial Day week-end.  With times being what they are lately, we are making some changes this year in the interest of economy.  As last year door prizes will be limited in number and trophies for first place only for the main and side matches.  Last year’s entrance fee reduction will continue.  Lunch will continue to be included in your match fee.

 

This year’s dates will be May 26th and 28th.   We will continue to shoot the main match stages over two days, with side matches Saturday afternoon.  The week-end schedule looks like this:

           

Friday (5-25)             1:00PM           Match set-up and registration

 

            Saturday (5-26)          8:00AM          Registration

            8:30AM          Shooters meeting

                                                9:00AM          Main Match—first four stages

                                                12:30PM         Lunch (included in match fee)

                                                1:30PM           Side Matches

                                                5:00PM           Range closed

                                   

Sunday (5-27)                                     8:30AM         Main Match—last four stages

                                                11:30PM         Lunch (included in match fee)

                                                2:30PM           Awards Presentation

 

On your entry form write in the category you want to shoot.  Some categories may be under-represented and need to be consolidated.  Should this occur, you will be given the opportunity to choose another.  SASS membership will no longer be a participation requirement so bring your non SASS friends and we’ll get them in our game.  We will be offering our usual selection of side matches.  A blanket $10 fee will get you into all the side matches and you are welcome to pre-pay with your match entry. 

 

The Rangers are now under ten regular members and we need people to help with the match.  If you can work any of the side matches or if you can be a posse marshal or deputy the Rangers would really appreciate your assistance.  If you can be in town on Friday and help set up it will make a big difference to us.

We’re trying to do as much as possible of the paperwork, notifications, etc. on-line as it saves paper, time and money.  If you have access to e-mail please send us that information so we can communicate with you better.  As always, we’d like to hear from you if you have thoughts or ideas to help us do a better job.  Please feel free to call me at 970-824-8407 or E-mail me at akbullen2001@yahoo.com.
