Grizzly Dave Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 On behalf of the Pawnee Station Vindicators, I am pleased to announce that they will be hosting the Colorado State Championship match to be held July 3-6, 2014!! Pawnee Station shoots at the Great Guns Sporting facility in Nunn, Colorado. This facility is ideal for a large match such is this. There is ample dry camping at the range, facilities for cowboy clays and long range, and any other side match a cowboy could dream up. There are 13 bays in the cowboy range in the volcano crater, each with full side berms that allow down range movement on each stage if the match director so desires. The number of bays also allows that all 12 stages of the match can each have a bay. It also means that the match could host at least 240 shooters without having to go to two shifts. For those who prefer a bunkhouse in town, there are hundreds of rooms 20 minutes or so from the range in nearby Fort Collins and Wellington. Mark your calendars now, this is gonna be a great match!!! I hope to see you there!! Information and registration forms are now available on the Pawnee Station website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizzly Dave Posted September 17, 2013 Author Share Posted September 17, 2013 I've gone to the Pawnee Station annual each of the last 4 or 5 years, and each year it gets bigger and better. Add to that the fact that the 2014 edition will be the state championship, and I can't wait to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anvil Al #59168 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I would love to come up there for this. I might work in it. See if it will work out. Was going to EOT. But don't think so anymore. So this might take it's place for our trip. P.S. Hope they get some road put back. Looks like many roads got taken out from the floods.

Calico Mary Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Hope ya can make it Al, I25 will take you up through Colorado most of the way, it's only a little further east on Hwy 14 then north on Hwy 85. I don't think there's much damage on those roads, and what there is if any should be fixed pretty soon, certainly by next summer. Most of the serious damage was either in the mountains, or on lesser roads with older bridges that were damaged by debris in the rivers. And if you and Union Jack and Ruthless Babe do make it, just remind me and Grizz about the middle of June and we can make sure there's ice cream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Dave Posted September 21, 2013 Author Share Posted September 21, 2013 Al, Texas Slim made it up for this match a couple of years ago and seemed to really enjoy himself. That was one of the first years at the new range, and it's gotten much better since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Dave Posted September 22, 2013 Author Share Posted September 22, 2013 Wow, Late June and early July is gonna be a great time to be a cowboy shooter! Lodan B Fast mentioned this to me today at the Pawnee Station monthly match... June 19-22 you can shoot the New Hell on Wheels match put on by the Border Vigilantes which will be the Wyoming State Championship match. Then you can head down to NM and Shoot the Cowboy match at End of Trail June 26-28 Then head to Colorado and shoot the Colorado State Championship match, Shootout at Pawnee Station July 3-6!! Wow! What a fun filled two weeks and three weekends that will be!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judge Gardner Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 The Date is not good timeimg with EOT they are back to back Think about chaging the date!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Dave Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 Gardner Kid, for those that travel from match to match, such as the Australians and others, having big matches back to back allows them to get in more shooting on their trip. Folks will have 3 or 4 days to make it from EOT up to Nunn which is at worst a day and a half drive pulling a trailer, or 8 hours in a car. It may not be ideal for everyone, but it has proven to be successful in the past. I am looking forward to this match a whole lot even though I have the pleasure of shooting at Pawnee Station every month. Awesome props, great stages, great people.

StirrupTrouble Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 If I can swing it, I will be there. Have they decided on match fees for the match? Are there hotels in the area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Dave Posted October 10, 2013 Author Share Posted October 10, 2013 Stirrup - Lots of motels about 20 minutes from the range in Fort Collins and Wellington. And tons to space for dry camping right at the range. Match fees have not yet been set that I know of, but should be soon. It's on the agenda for the meeting this weekend IIRC.

StirrupTrouble Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Not bad, Grizz. The only thing I would say is that the logo doesn't say "cowboy" to me. If I didn't know what SASS was, I would have to google it to figure out what it was about. I like the color choices though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
