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,
The Shootout at Usery Pass was a big success! I hope everyone enjoyed the special skills stages. A big thank you to everyone who helped plan, setup, breakdown and run the match. Thank you also to Claudia Feather for arranging the awesome BBQ lunch. Please give us any feedback on the match so we improve it even more next year.
The Rio Salado Sportsmans Club requires an election for the position of President for the Cowboy Division every 2 years. At our next match on Dec 3, we will be holding an election before the match begins so we fulfill our requirements per the Club By-Laws.
I will be seeking re-election as President and it would be an honor to continue to serve the Rio Cowboys. If anyone is interested in the position, please let us know before the match.
Wednesday, February 15, we will be holding an EOT Long Range practice. The Club will setup several events similar to what you will be shooting at EOT. The practice will start 8am and continue until the afternoon. Come on out and get your sites ready and prepare for the World Championship. We will also be holding a regular cowboy practice in pistol bay 4 from 3pm to 6pm. So after your finished long range, come over and practice some cowboy stages!
The Rio Cowboys will be hosting an RO1 and RO2 class some time in 2023 after EOT. As soon as I get some dates, I’ll post it on our website. We have some new members in the club now and all of us could certainly use a refresher on the rules. And it would benefit us all to get some new RO2 pins in our club. Flying W Ramrod and Sassy Dancer are scheduled as our instructors.
See you at the next match,
Be safe and shoot straight!
