NEWSLETTER MARCH,
2009
This year the Rangers decided to stage our first match of year in
March, one month earlier than usual.
While weather can be “iffy” this time of year, we had a fine, sunny day
for shooting, with no wind and comfortable temperatures in the 40s. Seems like a lot of folks had other
commitments, though, and we had just six participants. Didn’t matter ho many were there, we had a
good time.
Match director Sagebrush Burns designed a four stage which required
only one lay out. That simplified set-up
and tear-down and allowed us do it all in just about three hours total. Each stage had different movements and
shooting orders so there was plenty of variety.

Steamboat shot with us for the first time and joined
Regular monthly
matches will continue on the fourth Saturday of the month, June through
September. We have set our schedule for
2009.
April 25 – monthly match
May 23 & 24 – annual “Where the
Old West Stayed Young” match
June 27 – monthly match
July 25 – monthly match
August 22 – monthly match
September 26 – monthly match
The theme for this
year’s annual match will be the movie “Maverick” and we’re looking forward to
having some fun with Bret and Annabelle and the rest… To contact match director The Powder
We are always on the
lookout for ideas for stages and side matches for our monthly and annual
matches. The Rangers feel that one of
our strengths is that many different folks contribute and that keeps us fresh. If you’ve got something you’d like to try,
let us know. If it can be done safely
and won’t contribute to economic disaster or illegal immigration we’ll likely
give it a try.
As always, we’d like
to hear from you if you have thoughts or ideas to help us do a better job. Keep up with the Rangers on the Bears Ears
Sportsman Club (BESC) web site at: www.bearsears.org.
Thanks,
Sagebrush Burns
