Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 At the awards ceremony for Winter Range 2011 it was announced Winter Range 2012 would start a week early so as to coincide with the February 14, 2012, 100th Anniversary of Arizona’s Statehood. After discussions with State officials and the management of the Ben Avery Shooting Facility over Statehood events that will be taking place that week, it was decided to leave Winter Range in the following week. Statehood activities will be taking place throughout 2012. However, the peak activities will be taking place around the actual February 14 Statehood day. In order to avoid conflicts with other events, traffic, airline schedules, pressures on service providers for Winter Range, etc., Winter Range will take place from February 20 through February 26, 2012. This means the 2012 National Championship of Wild Bunch Action Shooting will start on Monday, February 20. This will allow the Wild Bunch shooters to shoot the Wild Bunch match and then have Wednesday to relax, shoot some side matches and a practice match, and get ready for the Cowboy Action match.
Gold Canyon Kid #43974 Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 Sure glad you pointed that out. Had to change my reservations! Thanks again.
Chickamauga Charlie, SASS #47963 Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 this should get pinned to the top!
Kiowa Kid, SASS #69870L Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 Howdy, The change is also on their website. KK

WR (as a shooter) Rafe The application forms should be reformatted and printed by mid-June. If you are coming to EOT I should have some with me.
Marshal Stone, SASS #53366 Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 Larson; Thanks for the update on the best shoot in the counrty. See ya there. Marshal Stone
Mudflat Mike, SASS #20904 Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 I strongly suggest you send the date change to every registered shooter from last year via email. Not everyone reads this forum and I, for one, had to change my hotel reservations.
Dan Diamond, SASS #61820L Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 I strongly suggest you send the date change to every registered shooter from last year via email. Not everyone reads this forum and I, for one, had to change my hotel reservations. Mike, Thanks for the suggestion. We did that a day or two back and everyone that was here for the 2011 WR will be receiving notice in their mailbox very soon. Come one come all to the greatest shoot in the world!!! Dan
Gold Canyon Kid #43974 Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 Wife and I both got letters from WR today telling us about the date change and rational for the change. Bottom line a lot of shooters would have been tied up in Az state celebrations on earlier date. I assume others got same.

Thought a hard copy of the notice would be better than an email.
Deuce Stevens SASS#55996 Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 Bummer, my wife was going to be able to come with my son. She was gonna finally get to shoot the match. Maybe some other year.
