Outlaw Gambler Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Been there for quite a few "Gunsmoke's". First of all the club and the people that put the shoot on are all first class. The owner of the property takes and interest in it, he also owns the gun shop. Dry camping on the premises, all meals and banquet on premise. Excellent range and if you visit their web site you will see pics of the range and the stages, all with real nice loading and unloading bays and fronts. Free water and fruit put out daily. Lots of vendors. Targets are large and close, which of course make them easy to miss as you will try to go too fast. There are no bottle necks and all stages are easy to understand and set up for speed. They start on time and posses move free and easy. A real nice set up with plenty of time for sitting down for a meal and talking with old friends and making new ones. We are looking forward to going back this year. I have been to alot of major shoots, local, regional, EOT, and this is one of my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Bullweed Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 AR Stoner and Hannah shoot in Salisbury and went either last year or the year before (I believe he was visiting family??). He said that he had a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T. A. Spurs, SASS #5419 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 We have been to every Gunsmoke since it started and there is no better shoot out there. Everything about it is top notch - I'll guarantee you won't be sorry if you go!!! Shamrock Sis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Trampas, SASS # 55781 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Have to echo what Outlaw Gambler said, haven't been there in several years, they have improved the range and I hear it is top notch, basically I don't think you would be disappointed if you went. All for now JD Trampas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck D. Law, SASS #62183 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 I've never been there, but I've heard many good people say good things about it to the point that it has me wanting to go. I'd say it's a safe bet for a whole lotta fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gentleman Jack Daniels Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Go Here: www.cedarvalleyvigilantes.com I believe last years Gunsmoke had 245 shooters from 18 states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mockingbird, SASS #22893 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Fantastic event, you will not be disappointed no matter how far you travel to attend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Stevens SASS#55996 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Next to Winter Range this is the best match in the country for me. Value for the dollar for sure. It's like a golf course for cowboy shooting. I can't say enough good things about this match. You will not be dissapointed, it's a can't miss event for me.

Cascade Charlie, SASS # 48668L Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Tenshot Tammy and I have gone up a couple of times and it is definately right up there at the top of best matches in the nation. Drifter and his team do a fantastic job with target placement and avoiding anything that might even resemble a procedural trap. They pride themselves on the high percentage of "Clean Shooters" every year and the shooters LOVE it. It's definately a shooter's match. They have great facilities and the barn is a great place for the banquet and awards. You won't be sorry you went. Cascade Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Montana, SASS #23907 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 One of the premier ranges in the US. Match administration was perfected years & years ago. Truly a model for any match director at any match level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
