Cibola Al Posted June 5, 2024 Posted June 5, 2024 Once again the Rio Grande Renegades are hosting the New Mexico State SASS Championship! Our range is just west of Albuquerque about 10 minutes off of I40 with plenty of desert between us and the heart of ABQ. Lots room for free dry camping, a limited number of electric hook-ups available on a first come first served basis ($15 a night) Lots of great folks, good food, raffle items, and beautiful September weather in NM. This link will take you to our website with everything you need to know about the Fall Fandango: https://riogranderenegades.org/
Edward R S Canby, SASS#59971 Posted June 5, 2024 Posted June 5, 2024 Camping is just across a road from the shooting bays on asphalt. September is the tail end of the summer monsoon season. There may be late afternoon showers (after the shooting is over). You will not camp in mud. Last year there were a few unused electric outlets during the match so there may be plenty this year too. At the intersection of I-40 and Atrisco Vista (road that leads to the City Range) there are three full-service RV parks. A unique side match is a team skeet shoot after dark under the lights.
Choctaw Jack Posted June 6, 2024 Posted June 6, 2024 My entry is already in ! This is a really fun shoot, the Rio Grande Renegades do a great job of putting on this match, and the weather in Albuquerque this time of year is beautiful. Looking forward to it! Choctaw Jack

Cibola Al Posted July 9, 2024 Author Posted July 9, 2024 At our monthly match last weekend I heard about a few of our raffle prizes this year. At least one firearm (a Ruger Single Six). A number of knives, including 2 VERY cool antiques. 5000 Federal pistol primers. A case of Winchester AA low noise/low recoil 12 gauge shot shells. More to be added. Here is a picture of my posse last year. This was a special shoot-through posse so that Captain Jack Houston and I could be free to do all of the little match chores during the regular match days. We had the pleasure of shooting with Chicken George and his family, probably the fastest family in SASS.
Cibola Al Posted August 7, 2024 Author Posted August 7, 2024 Just a reminder that we will be offering an ROII class on Thursday 9/19 at 1 pm. https://riogranderenegades.org/ff2024ro2
