We are cancelling the Wildbunch and Cowboy matches this weekend because of the high chance of thunderstorms with lightning and heavy rain, which can cause flooding at the range.
We hope to see you in October.

It’s hard to believe that our September match is just one week away. Wicker Nash, this month’s Match Director, put together 6 fine stages based on the movie Once Upon a Time in the West. The movie’s opening scene is widely considered to be one of the best openings of a Western movie. Wicker starts the match (Stage 1) with that scene. You get to play Charles Bronson’s character as he’s stepping off the train. Harmonica optional – BYOH. See the link below to download the stages.
Registration opens at 8:00 a.m. with a Safety Meeting at about 9:15 a.m.
The St. Jude’s ladies will be serving lunch.
With that, we hope you will join us next Sunday!

Howdy!
Our annual meeting will be held on Sunday, November 15, 2026 at the indoor range at 1:00pm. I am working on the agenda, please reply with any subject you’d like to see covered. Please mark your calendar.
Thank you,
Cowboy Rick
It turned out to be a great day for a shoot! A little humid with a short shower, but 30 brave souls came out and appeared to have a great time.
Thanks to Rootin Tootin (Match Director) for putting together a fun match!

Illowa Irregulars invites everyone to join us tomorrow on a little trip back to the Fall Roundups of years gone by — to an earlier era before “HOW FAST CAN YOU RUN YOUR GUNS?” became quite as important as “What creative thing are they going to make us do on this stage?”
Rootin Tootin has put together a match using fun props, unusual targets, a little movement, and stages designed as much to make you smile as to shave another half-second off your time. Oh, and bring extra shotgun shells (28+).
Will it be your typical modern speed match? Nope, but that’s the point!
Best of all, the weather is looking to be very good by match time – mid-70’s and no rain. We copied the forecast below.
To download the stages simply click on the following link: Aug Stage and Signup page, where you’ll see
Advance sign-up is optional and NO payment is required to sign up. It just gives us an idea of what to expect.
See you Sunday, cowboys and cowgirls!
Oh, and the St. Jude’s Ladies are serving Hamburgers and Brats. Mmmm.
