Edward R S Canby, SASS#59971 Posted June 8, 2025 Posted June 8, 2025 I shoot this match when it is the Colorado State SASS Championship. The range is on San Juan's property - home of Colorado Cast Bullets. I like the main match, the side matches and the Wild Bunch match. The stages are tastefully decorated by a local artist. At ~5,800 feet elevation, Montrose is not too hot in mid-summer. There is onsite camping with electric hookups. On can fill RV water tanks when one arrives. We arrive from the south, traveling over high mountain passes of the San Juans. The scenery is spectacular, but the driving requires full attention if pulling a trailer or driving an RV. There are full-hookup campgrounds in Montrose and reasonably priced motels. Overall, the match and the trip are worthwhile. We usually stay at a Forest Service campground along the Delores River during our trip.
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted June 8, 2025 Posted June 8, 2025 For those of you who have ever shot "The Seige at San Juan" this is a non-SASS sanctioned match that is supposed to replicate the old matches. It is being billed as "The Siege of Old". It is scheduled for 12 stages on June 21 & 22, 2025. If you have questions you can call San Juan, SASS #1776, at 970-417-6247.

There are two routes for those coming from the south. US550 is the shortest route. However, I would not consider pulling my trailer over that route. CO145 is my preferred route. It's much safer.
Happy Jack, SASS #20451 Posted June 8, 2025 Posted June 8, 2025 One of my FAVORITE matches in the old days was The Siege at San Juan It was a hoot every time I shot it. Haven't been for a few years. Try it, you'll like it.
Jackrabbit Joe #414 Posted June 8, 2025 Posted June 8, 2025 Fantastic shooting at San Juan Range first time there was 1997 and another time in 2013.. If yah can do it then do it you'll have a great time. God bless you all. JRJ
Assassin Posted June 9, 2025 Posted June 9, 2025 San Juan host's a great match. Plenty of movement, challenging targets and sequences. Montrose is a nice town.
