Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted May 12, 2011 Share 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.

Mudflat Mike, SASS #20904 Posted May 13, 2011 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!!!

Gold Canyon Kid #43974 Posted May 17, 2011 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought a hard copy of the notice would be better than an email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
