Ghost, SASS #50125 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Does WR publish a posse list so we can see whom we are shooting with and the rotation? They have in the past, but it comes out about 10 days before the match. I guess so as to mimimize changes. Ghost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickamauga Charlie, SASS #47963 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 The Arizona Territorial Company of Rough Riders works all year to make sure Winter Range is fun for the shooters and that everything is in good repair so there are no delays in the match because of equipment failures. WR also tries to replace a certain number of targets each year so that the plates are flat and in good condition. Over the past three or four years virtually all of the 16" rifle and pistol plates have been replaced with 18" or 20" targets. WR also tries to rotate props so that returning shooters see something new every year. This year there are at least two totally new facades. The first photo shows the unfinished new Livery Stable and the second a typical work day for the Rough Riders. On the right in the second photo is the beginning of another new facade. Looking forward to seeing all of you in a couple of weeks!!! http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee241/pettifogger1/P1040538.jpg http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee241/pettifogger1/P1040546.jpg its too bad that work day was rescheduled for the weekend of the Yuma Prison Breakout. not that i was coming to phx but i was hoping to see some of you in yuma cc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 A few updates. There have been a few cancellations so there are about ten slots open (for a nice round 800 shooters) if anyone has changed their mind and wants to come to sunny Arizona for a terrific shoot and general fun time. Also, if you came last year the roads in the range were all torn up and were a mess. They have been repaved and the traffic flow has been changed. Now, instead of entering on Longshot Ave. you will continue west on Carefree Highway until you get to the first (only) stoplight (about two miles from the Ben Avery main entrance, Ben Avery is big) and turn onto Archery Lane. It is right in front of the Arizona Game and Fish Department's new headquarters. All shooters (including the mounted shooters) and vendors will enter through that entrance and the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office will direct everyone to the appropriate parking areas. Hopefully, this will help get everyone in and out more quickly. The Rough Riders have been out finishing props and testing equipment non-stop for the past few weeks. Next week will start the main set-up effort. Following is a shot of another new (unfinished) stage front that will look like three stores when done. Next is, well you figure it out! It will be part of a main cowboy match scenario. Finally, the big tent is up. The rest of this week vendor row will go up and the props and targets will start being moved onto the range next Wednesday, February 15, and by Sunday, February 19, Winter Range will be ready to greet returning shooters and new friends. http://i228.photobuc...r1/IMG_0212.jpg http://i228.photobuc...r1/IMG_0216.jpg http://i228.photobuc...r1/IMG_0220.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon Hill Dave #59561 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 We are packing up and heading out on Valentine's Day. my sweetie is coming with me to make sure I make the journey safe, then she is flying out of there to tend to something she prefers to do, leaving me on my own to get into mischief. The good news is that i am staying out at the range within walking distance (although it is overflow to the main campground so it is a looong walk from the range) so in the event that I happen to have some of the lemonade with additive or other adult beverages I can maneuver home. Looking forward to a great Winter Range. I always love shooting out here, but I don't seem to do that well--this year will be different. No question,whatever the outcome, it will be fun. Looking forward to seeing all my pards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardin Morningwood Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Had an enjoyable day yesterday with the set-up crew. The Arizona Rangers work hard days getting this event up and ready but every moment is filled with great camaraderie and a real "we want this to always be special" attitude. Thanks to Black Jack, Pigpen, Nine Toe Joe and all the others for making a new guy feel like one of the bunch as we hauled trailer load after trailer load of steel and props. I'm headed back for more. Hard work but great atmosphere to do it in. Hardin "Morning"Wood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
