THE RIO EPITAPH

President  Update August 2026:

 

Greetings Cowboys and Cowgirls,

 

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer and staying out of the heat! 

We had wonderful weather for our July 4th match and thanks to everyone for coming out to shoot with us. It was a very red, white and blue festive day, and we welcomed 2 new shooters to the Rio Cowboys – Arizona Swede and Marty McFly. Welcome to the Club!

 

And in addition to joining the Club, I’d like to welcome Marty to the Rio Cowboys Board. He is our new Webmaster and registration official. Thank you, Marty for stepping up and helping out!

Marty takes over for Cpl. Quayne, who is retiring from the Board after 13+ years of service to the Club. We all owe a big thank you to Cpl. for helping out for many years. In particular, he has passed on his reloading knowledge to many a cowboy, including myself. Please thank him when you see him at the next match.

 

Claudia Feather, our club founder, has recently moved up to Washington state. We are very happy that she will be close to her family and will be making new friends with the cowboys in the NW. But we will all greatly miss her at our matches. Claudia will still be our club Treasurer so her presence will still be felt in our club. We hope to see around these parts in the future if she comes back for a visit.

 

We are still in our summer shooting schedule. That means matches will start at 8am and the shooters meeting at 7:45. These times will continue through Oct. And since it will be summer, please be cautious in the heat and drink plenty of water. And summer attire is still OK for Sept.

 

Please join us for our next match in September for 6 stages of fun. And don’t miss our Bordertown warmup match in Oct with all big and close targets and fast stages.

 

See you at the next match,

Be safe and shoot straight!
