5 Dogs Creek Cowboy Action Shooters Monthly Matches are the 1st Sunday of the month, and also the preceeding Saturday (same weekend) usually starting at 8:30 am (summer) or 9 am in winter . We are on Winter hours now. See the current newsletter for exact details. Be there for the Mandatory shooters meeting at 8:00am before the match. Register for the day's shooting before the meeting starts. So you really need to be at the range no later than 7:30 am (8am in winter), to register, get on a possee, and everything.
Each day is a separate match. Sometimes there is a work party on Saturday the week before. We use SASS rules. We *usually* shoot 5 or 6 stages per day, with an average of 24 shots per; so bring at least 60 rounds for your single action revolvers, 60 rounds for your lever action rifle, and 30-50 shells for your shotgun. Per Day. More is better. Don't forget your ear plugs & protective glasses. Protective glasses are required. (Sunglasses ok). Daily match fees are $19 and members get a $5 discount to $14. Due to insurance requirements, NRA membership is now required for all 5 Dogs Creek members.
We don't break for lunch, so bring a meal or a snack & eat when you're hungry. You're going to want to bring water or gatoraide or something to drink too. Hot dogs ($3) are usually available for a short while about noon up at the yellow range house. Good, but you have to be really alert to get 'em while they are available. Being lucky helps too. You should probably bring a snack just so you don't go hungry. Free camping the nights before the regular monthly matches. Sometimes we like to have a potluck dinner or movie night outdoors. :-) We do like to have a good time, so be prepared to be friendly!
If you are new or even sort of new to Cowboy Action shooting, we encourage you to come out and watch a Saturday match, and talk to our "Sheriff" so he can walk you through the safety check after the match. Then you can shoot the Sunday match with us if you are ready. We try to make this worthwhile time for you, and we are really big on safety. We want you to come back!
