I want to thank everyone for coming out to the Brookfield Conservation Club for our Saturday CAS match. A good time was had by all! Henry Short was our Big Winner! First Place fair and square! His total time was 106.57 seconds and that might be a world record for the Yankee Flats CAS range of merriment and jollification! I don’t know for sure about the world record, but he was our big winner on Saturday! Congratulations, Henry! Runners up were Johnny Rails and Johnny Shiloh! Our Top Lady Shootist was Ripley Rose. Congratulations, Ripley Rose! Our Top Lady Shootist in the .22 Class was Heartless Hanna! Our almost clean shooters were Henry Short, Hagen, and Slow Mo Dern. Congratulations to all our winners and contestants! Big thanks to Lindy Lou for tirelessly keeping score through the whole match for us. Thank you, Lindy Lou! Big thanks to the Brunswick Kid and his lovely wife Laura for bringing another excellent lunch for us to eat! Thanks, folks! Our next match will be the Thursday Work Shirker match on September 28, 2023. It will feature a new Hagen-invented optional plate rack bonus for the most adventurous shootist who likes putting his low score on the line! We hope to see you there! The Shenango River Rats Thank you for your continued support!

Seamus! Best of luck to you and Kay! Be safe and God bless! Mo

Howdy! Weather looks good for Saturday! Chance of a hail of bullets around 10:00 am and a widely scattered shower of lead when it's Mo's turn at the line. Slight chance of thunder if Jocko shows up from the east! Watch where you park the wagon because of falling hickory nuts, beech nuts, and acorns.

Howdy Geoff! One of the best things to do if you're new to this sport is to read the SASS Shooter's Handbook located on this website. I was shooting 2 years before I ever knew there was a Shooter's Handbook. Reading the Shooter's Handbooks will clear up most questions you have and tell you what you can't do. Learning to reload your own ammunition is a must. Again, don't buy anything until you know and understand what you need. All the best, Slow Mo Dern

The Shenango River Rats

Howdy! We're still picking up sticks down on the range but we're still shooting on Thursday. See you then. Mo

Brookfield CAS in Masury, Ohio! Thursday August 31, 2023 Howdy friends, ladies, and gents! Cowboy Action match at the Brookfield Conservation Club on Thursday August 31, 2023. It’s the last Thursday of the month Work Shirker Open Class CAS match! Doors and gates open at approximately 8:00 am. Sign-up is at 9:00 am. Lead down range at approximately 10:00 am after the Pledge of Allegiance and the safety meeting. Coffee and donuts in the morning. Cold water in “chug-size bottles” from the Igloo cooler will be provided by the club. Five fun-filled stages of cowboy action merriment! Bring plenty of shotgun shells and a sense of humor! Spectators and visitors are always welcome at Brookfield but you need adequate eye protection (shooting glasses) and hearing protection (plugs or muffs). Come out to Brookfield and join the Shenango River Rats for another CAS match down in the woods on Thursday August 31, 2023. We hope to see you there! All the best, Slow Mo Dern and the Shenango River Rats Warning! The hickory trees and the beech trees are starting to lose their nuts so be mindful of where you park so your car doesn’t get dinged! Warning #2! Mind where you park because of the “hangers” up in the treetops. Hangers are broken-off tree limbs that are stuck up in the trees after the Thursday night storm that haven’t fallen to the ground yet.

Howdy! I want to mention something about reclaimed shot and I would encouage anyone who uses it at the Broookfield Conservation Club to read this as we are shooting at steel targets and we don't want anyone to get hurt. I buy reclaimed shot when I can but before I use it in shotshells; I dump it in a big flat tray or cookie sheet and run a magnet over it to pick out any metal. I have found nail heads, lots of steel shot, and I even found a woodruff key in the reclaimed shot once. That's why I check it with a magnet. Just my opinion for the new folks. This is why you need good shooting glasses. All the best, Slow Mo Dern

Brookfield CAS in Masury, Ohio! Saturday August 12, 2023 Howdy friends, pards, ladies and gents: We want to thank everyone for coming over to Brookfield to join the Shenango River Rats for their Saturday CAS match. A real good time was had by all, and we lucked out again and beat the tornadoes, thunderstorms, hailstorms, dirty driving rain, and forty-year floods once again! Clean shootin’ Yippy Yiyo KiYay was the big match winner today! First place fair and square! Congratulations, Yippy! Runners up were Lenny James and Slow Mo Dern respectively. Brown ribbon winners were Hagen, the Brunswick Kid, Flat Iron Mike, and Slow Mo Dern. They almost had a clean match but missed it by “that much!” Calamity Ann was our Top Lady Shooter. Congratulations to all our winners and contestants! Salute! It was a fast match and a fun match and thanks to everybody for helping the match run as smooth as a finely tuned Thom Duma pocket watch! Big thanks to all the wives for helping re-set targets, brass picking, and other posse chores! It helped the match get finished ahead of schedule so we could beat the rain and have more time to sit and socialize. Big thanks to the Brunswick Kid and his lovely wife Laura for providing us with another excellent after-match meal! It was delicious! We had pulled-pork sandwiches, coleslaw, potato chips, soda pop, and Grandma Barb’s chocolate chip cookies! Our next match will be on Thursday August 31, 2023. It’s the Last Thursday of the Month Work Shirker Open Class CAS match! Visitors and spectators are always welcome, but you must have adequate hearing protection (plugs or muffs) and adequate eye protection (shooting glasses). “Safety every time, that’s us!” We hope to see you next time! All the best, Slow Mo Dern and the Shenango River Rats

Howdy! It's Friday night and it's raining cats and dogs! We had a gorgeous day for working on the range today, but it looks like it might be pretty soggy on Saturday morning if Brookfield got any rain like this. It's supposed to be dry in the morning and rain in late afternoon on Saturday. Hopefully it missed the cowboy range. At least the forest ain't on fire... Thoughts and prayers up for all the people in Hawaii who are having a bad time of it right now. Mo
