This just in: At about 9:05 p.m. CST, Nov 23, 2020 Blackjack Zak, President and Winter Range Match Director, announced on the SASS Wire Forum that the Arizona Territorial Company of Rough Riders has made the decision to cancel Winter Range 2021.

Many thanks to two of our regular shooters, Law Dog Dom and Shortcake, for authoring “Both Barrels Cowboy Action Shooting”, an article published in the November issue of Adventure Sports Outdoor magazine. The article highlights Illowa Irregulars’ 2020 Fall Round-up. To read the article click on the image below and flip to page 14 and 15.

The November 7 Wild Bunch results are now available on the Illowa Irregulars Scores page. We had 9 shooters and an absolutely wonderful November day. There were no clean shooters.

A big thanks to Costa Rican Kid for assuming the WB director duties. RIP Captain Jake.

For the locals, we will be tearing down the cowboy range and preparing it for winter this Monday, November 9, 2020, beginning at 9:00 a.m. This activity includes putting the practice steel away, gathering up paint for storage, and general cleaning up of the Conex building. We also need to insure all the timers and the AED are stored in a warm area for the winter, paper items are in mouse-proof containers, and getting all wash stations ready for winter. We can use all the help we can get.
