President  Update May 2025:

 

Greetings Cowboys and Cowgirls,

 

This is my second letter this month because I wanted to update the Club on some happenings.

 

As we move into the hot summer months, we would like to remind everyone that the Rio Cowboys will continue to shoot our monthly matches. Shooters meeting will be at 7:45 and the shooting fun begins at 8 am. There will also be relaxed clothing rules for June, July and August. That means you can wear shorts, t-shirts and any closed toe shoes. Sneakers are OK. If you wear a hat, it must still comply with head gear rules, no ball caps. Please keep your clothing selections appropriate for family and guests.

 

Also, due to the extreme heat in the summer, we will only be shooting 4 stages in the months of July and August. The matches officially start at 8 but we can get started earlier if everyone is already here and ready to go.

 

The Rio Salado Sportsmans Club has raised the match fees for all divisions starting in July. These price increases will double what we as a Club pays the main range for each shooter. While nobody likes to pay more to shoot, the Range has not raised prices in over a decade and we need to appropriately compensate the Rangers and staff who keep the range running. Please check our website after the June match for the new match fees.

 

At this point, we will not be having an Annual match this year in Nov. There will however still be a regular monthly match. Unfortunately, low attendance and being too close to Bordertown has forced the Board to reaccess the match and hopefully come up with a new solution for next year.

 

However, our monthly matches will be getting more interesting in the coming months. Our Awards Director, Hoopsnake, is coming up with some fun games and more prizes to add to the monthly matches. So keep checking the web site before each match to see what he pulls out of his bag for that match!

 

I would also like to congratulate Superstition Slim as our new Territorial Governor! Thank you slim for taking on this very important Club position.

We also Welcome Katie Rose as our new Score Keeper! Thank you Katie for your contribution to our Club.

Paca McMasters is our new Ranger Master and we owe Skinny McKinney a very big thank you for all his hard work at this job for the past 5 years.

 

Have a safe summer!

 

See you at the next match,

Be safe and shoot straight!
