Cowtown Scout, SASS #53540 L Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 (edited) Some of you may have seen this thread about my retirement posted in the SASS Saloon back in May of this year. I am now Retired !!! - SASS Wire Saloon - SASS Wire Forum (sassnet.com) There I mention that I was going to shoot the Wisconsin and Mississippi State Championships and they would be my 22nd and 23rd different States to shoot CAS. Well I also shot the Missouri State and it was my 24th state to shoot CAS. I went to update my map in the Tread How Many States Have You Shot COWBOY In? - SASS Wire - SASS Wire Forum (sassnet.com) and found it has been achieved, so I decided to make a new thread about my CAS travels. Here is a map showing the States I have now shot Cowboy Action. I finished 4th Senior Classic Cowboy at Mississippi and here is a photo showing the SCCs and the lone Classic Cowgirl. I finished 2nd Classic Cowboy at Wisconsin but no CC group photo. I finished 3rd Classic Cowboy at Missouri and here is a photo showing the CCs (except for one) and the lone Classic Cowgirl. My traveling to shooting matches across the country started long before I started Cowboy Action Shooting in 2003. I started shooting NRA Rifle Metallic Silhouette in 1983 and Pistol Metallic Silhouette in 1989, disciplines included Smallbore Rifle (2 types), Highpower Rifle (2 types), Air rifle (3 types), Cowboy Lever Action Rifle (3 types), Hunter Pistol (4 types), and Air Pistol (2 types). I shot Silhouette National Championships of some kind every year from 1985 – 2008. By the time CAS took over most of my shooting by 2008 I had shot in 11 different States. I first saw something about Cowboy Action Shooting around 2000/2001 when the NRA put a photo of Holly Terror on the front cover of the Competitions Magazine they were publishing at the time and it had an article inside about SASS. In October 2001 I shot the NRA High Power Rifle National Championships at the Ben Avery Range in Arizona and after it was over I went over and watched my first SASS/CAS match. Then in 2002 as a Silhouette Director I was working a Texas State Rifle Association booth at an event and started talking about Cowboy Action with Brazos Ace one of our new CAS Directors. (I ran Texas State Silhouette Championships from 2001-2006) He invited me out to a ranch in Glen Rose Texas he managed and I shot my first cowboy guns off a table at his range. The hook was set. When we finished he asked me if I was going to sell all my silhouette guns and buy cowboy guns and I told him no, but I was going to buy some cowboy guns. I visited some CAS matches in 2002/2003 at the Lone Star Frontier Shooting Club near Cleburne TX and the Comanche Valley Vigilantes near Glen Rose TX. I joined both clubs in 2003 and also joined SASS as a Life Member and then attended the Southwest Regional “Showdown at Buck Creek” as a spectator that same year in the fall. Over two days there I purchased from vendors 2 Ruger Vaqueros in .38, a Marlin 1894 in .38 and a 12 gauge Norinco 1897, a Kirkpatrick Long Hunter Rig and an Evil Roy shotgun belt, two shirts, and a gun cart. (I have since sold the two .38 vaqueros and the ER belt but still have all the rest) I shot a new shooter match at LSFSC shortly thereafter and then l looked on the SASS Wire for places to shoot - for the next 6 weekends in a row I shot a Cowboy Action match. My first away match was at the Bar 3, Saturday was a Cops and Cowboy match and Sunday was a Cowboy match. Guess you could say I was definitely HOOKED! Oh, how many of you remember when the SASS Rule Book looked like this? In September 2004 I shot my first big match, The Southwest Regional “Showdown at Buck Creek”, (by then I had purchased all new guns and was shooting Classic Cowboy) then in 2005 shot the Louisiana State Match and End of Trail at Founders Ranch New Mexico (the first after moving to that location). Here is a copy of my Posse photo from the SW Regional that has the correct month and days but the previous wrong year listed. I started working at Texas Woman’s University in 2004 (remember I started this thread referring to my retirement from there after 20 years) and whenever I traveled for work I tried to see where I could shoot a cowboy match on the trip. I posted the following threads about some of those trips (sorry the photo bucket links no longer work): August 2014 Texan shoots steel in California - SASS Wire - SASS Wire Forum (sassnet.com) November 2014 Texan shoots steel in Florida - SASS Wire - SASS Wire Forum (sassnet.com) July 2016 Texan Shoots Steel in Tennessee - SASS Wire - SASS Wire Forum (sassnet.com) I never posted the thread on Black Gold as referenced in the Tennessee thread and it appears I lost those photos along with a bunch of older ones some time ago due to a computer virus. So now back to my future travels – I will be headed to the Northeast August/September and have entered the upcoming State Championships for Michigan, Maine and New York. They will be my 25th, 26th and 27th different States to shoot CAS. Match confirmations have been received, ammo is loaded, accommodation reservations are made and my sight-seeing places between matches are picked out. I am looking forward to shooting at these matches and meeting some new folks. If you will be at any of these matches please seek me out and introduce yourself. I will update this thread after this next trip and post a new map and some photos. Still have quite a few more States I have not shot CAS in yet, so if you have any suggestions after looking at the map please post those suggestions. While I was at the Wisconsin State Championship someone there suggested that I make the North Dakota/South Dakota combined State Championship. I will plan to do that but it will only get me the one state it is held in, so it would be nice if I could shoot in the other state the weekend before or after that championship. Here is a list of the states I have shot Cowboy Action along with the clubs and dates: (I will update this list as I add states and post new maps) States & Clubs I have Shot Cowboy Action - Cowtown Scout 7/28/2024 Club Name – underlined and Italic indicates no longer a club at that location Arkansas Mountain Valley Vigilantes (Hot Springs) Annual/Shooting in the Shade, 2007, 2008 & 2009 Judge Parkers Marshals (Fort Smith) Arkansas State, 2021 Arizona Tombstone Ghost Riders (Tombstone) Dammit Gang Dooley Gang Showdown, 2008 Los Vaqueros (Tombstone) Monthly on way to Winter Range, Multiple Years Arizona Territory Company of Rough Riders (Ben Avery/Peoria) National Championship/Winter Range, 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 Arizona Territory Company of Rough Riders (Ben Avery/Peoria) World Championship/End of Trail, 2022 California Cajon Cowboys (San Bernardino) Monthly 2014 The Cowboys (Norco) Monthly 2014 Colorado Windy Gap Regulators (Cortez) Annual/Revenge, 2017, 2018 Florida Okeechobee Marshals (Sebastian) Monthly, 2014 Weewahootee Vigilance Committee (Orlando) Monthly, 2014 Illinois Illowa Irregulars (Milan) Monthly on way to EOT in Indiana, 2021 Indiana Paradise Pass Regulators (Etna Green) World Championship/End of Trail, 2021 Iowa Fort Des Moines Rangers (Indianola) Iowa State/Classic Cowboy Showdown, 2021 Kansas Free State Rangers (Parker) Annual/Classic Cowboy Showdown, 2020 Butterfield Gulch Gang (Chapman) Annual/Classic Cowboy Showdown, 2019, 2022 (Kansas State), 2024 Kentucky Ponderosa Pines Posse (Manchester) Annual / Black Gold, 2016 Louisiana Cypress Creek Cowboys (Calhoun) Louisiana State, 2005, 2006 Maryland Thurmont Rangers (Manchester) Monthly, 2023 Minnesota Cedar Valley Vigilantes (Morristown) Gunsmoke/Minnesota State, 2010 Mississippi Mississippi River Rangers (Byhalia) Mississippi State, 2024 Missouri Butterfield Trail Cowboys (Walnut Shade) Missouri State, 2024 Montana Montana Territory Peacemakers (Billings) Monthly, 2023 New Mexico Lincoln County Regulators (Ruidoso) on way to EOT NM, Once Lost River Cowboys (Roswell) on way to EOT NM, Once Seven River Regulators (Carlsbad) on way to EOT NM, Once SASS Founders Ranch (Edgewood) World Championship/End of Trail, 2005, 06, 07, 08, 09, 2018 SASS Founders Ranch (Edgewood) 4 Corners Regional, 2007 Nevada Eldorado Cowboys (Bolder City) Nevada State, 2009 North Carolina Gunpowder Creek Regulators (Lenoir) Monthly, 2010 Old North State Posse (Salisbury) Monthly, 2009 Oklahoma Indian Territory (Sand Springs) Oklahoma State, 2007 Shortgrass Rangers (Grandfield) New Year’s Day Shoot, Twice Oklahoma Territory Marshals (Arcadia) Land Run, several times pre-2015 Oklahoma Territory Marshals (Arcadia) Southwest Regional/Red Dirt Rampage, 2015, 2016, 2017 Oklahoma Territory Marshals (Arcadia) National Championship/Land Run, 2022 Red River Valley Cowpokes (Albany) New Year’s Day Shoot, Once Tennessee Memphis Gunslingers (Lakeland) Monthly, 2016 West Virginia Cowboy Action Shooting Sports (Great Cacapon) West Virginia State, 2023 Wisconsin Rock River Regulators (Beloit) Wisconsin State, 2024 Texas Alamo Area Moderators (San Antonio) Monthly, Once Badlands Bar 3 (English) Monthly, Southwest Regional, Annual/Comin At Cha, 2003 -

Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Sounds like the adventure continues! I know I saw you at the Tin Star match but thinking I met you before '07, not sure where. I like the spreads of buckles and badges. Keep on keepin' on! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griff Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Scout, you have visited some great clubs and many more to visit. I would strongly recommend you get your rain gear together and visit the great Pacific NorthWet. Oregon and Washington have some great clubs along with some wonderful characters. Big matches are great fun, but sometimes just being able to visit a club during the regularly scheduled monthly shoot is a very relaxing way to meet and get to know folks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lever Action Landon Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Since you are traveling to the Michigan State Shoot. Two weekends later in Ohio is Shoot Out at Stoney Bottom. Sandusky County Regulators. You could add another state to that list. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the week after Michigan I am shooting Maine State and the following week I am shooting New York State. So two weekends from Michigan I will be shooting in New York. Maybe next year I can shoot in Ohio and Pennsylvania in one trip from Texas. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needle-Nose-Tom Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 You definitely need to put the Wartrace Regulators TN state match on your list. I know you have been to Memphis but this is a whole different venue. I've been lucky enough to go to the last two. A good group of CC with with one of the best in the game in my opinion Cleve. Whiskey Hayes is a true Classic and they put on a great shoot. As a Classic Cowboy myself I sure wouldn't miss it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Dollar Drifter Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 You have quite the record. I have long considered it would be great to read articles of shooting at the various club shoots throughout the states, telling about ech club's personality & any special uniqueness they have. It is good to read about the various state shoots, but many/most shooters may not shoot at those. Wondering about thoughts at the everyday club shoots. You likely have some good insight about some. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Bill Burt Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 It looks like you need to come down to the South and shoot the Magnificent 7 next year! That would allow you to pick up at least two states you haven't shot in yet, Georgia and South Carolina. https://southeastopenmagnificentseven.com/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie MacNeil, SASS #48580 Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 I noticed that Oregon is conspicuously absent from your map. You need to find your way to Baker City, Oregon the second weekend of July, 2025, for our annual, Violence at Virtue Flat. If nothing else, the food is fantastic! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
