Illowa Irregulars’ 2023 schedule is listed below. The schedule includes dates for both our Cowboy and Wild Bunch matches, and two Buffalo shoots.
Monthly Matches: With September being the sole exception, we hold our regular Monthly matches on the 3rd Sunday of each month April through October. Because the 3rd Sunday of Sept. conflicts with Gunsmoke, the Midwest Regional, we hold September’s monthly match on the 4th Sunday. We also hold an early November and mid-January match. Check our schedule below for these dates each year. August is typically reserved for the State Championship match. See the Main Menu above for links to it.
Registration for our regular monthly matches begins at 8:00 a.m. with a Safety Meeting at 9:15 a.m. Shooters must be present for the Safety Meeting to participate in the day’s match. All Non-Milan Club Members are required to sign a Liability Release Form once per calendar year which we will present to you upon arrival. If you would like to download the Release Form in advance you can do so by clicking on the following link: Milan Rifle Club Release Form.
Match Cancellation Notices: Match cancellations due to inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances will be announced no later than noon the day before the match. If no announcement is made, the match will be held. Cancellation notices will be published on our Blog page.
Practices: The Milan Rifle Club (MRC) Cowboy Action Shooting group holds weekly cowboy practices at 10:00 am Fridays and at 5:30 p.m. on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays, April through October. Cowboy Shooters who are not MRC members are welcome to join us as a Guest Shooter if arrangements are made in advance. Please send an email to Guest Member Request with the date(s) you would like to attend our practice.
Match Fees:
- Cowboy Action and Wild Bunch monthly matches: $10
- SASS 2023 Illinois State Championship: See State Championship Registration Form
- Practices: $2 donation is requested
