As your Rio Salado Club President and Territorial Governor, I am here to gather comments, criticisms, needs and your proposed rule changes and communicate them to SASS Headquarters. I will also keep the Club updated on rule changes from SASS. Your RSCASS staff will continue to encourage the growth of Cowboy Action Shooting and our great Club through monthly practices and New Shooter Orientations.
As members, you also represent SASS and our Club. So please encourage your shooting friends to give Cowboy Shooting a try. All the info required to start is on our website. I encourage every club member to read the new Shooters Handbook, which was updated in January 2022. It contains past rule changes and a new format which is easier to follow. You will find rule clarifications by the ROC at http://www.oowss.com/ROCornerIndex.htm.
If you have any questions on rules in the SASS Shooters Handbook, please ask me. If I don’t have the immediate answer, I can find it for you.

President & Territorial Governor Update:
Greetings Cowboys and Cowgirls,
Summer is slowly coming to an end so it’s time to dust off those cowboy boots again. We will once again go back to SASS clothing requirements starting with our Sept match.
We are still on summer hours so the Sept 2 match will have a shooters meeting at 7:45 and shooting starts at 8am. Long Range will return in Nov.
October will officially start our winter hours so look for that on our webpage. And speaking of Oct, come join us on Oct 7 for our Bordertown warmup match. Our Match Director will drag out our biggest targets and put them nice and close so you can get ready for the State Championship.
Soon our Web Master will be posting the online registration for our Nov. Annual match, the world famous Shootout at Usery Pass! Expect fun unique skill stages and of course the equally delicious Famous Dave’s BBQ lunch!
We love to give out special prizes to our shooters at the Annual Match. These gifts are all donated by cowboys and cowgirls just for this event. But we won’t have any prizes without your help. If you have anything, big or small, you would like to donate for this event, we would be very grateful. Please find our prize collector, Hoopsnake LaVache, at our next match or send us an email. And we thank you!
Volunteering is the only way we can run our matches and special events like practice and long range. If anyone is interested in helping out your Club in any way, please let us know via email or see us out on the range. We welcome any and all help. And for all those that help setup and breakdown matches, Thank You again for your support.
See you at the next match,
Be safe and shoot straight!
