Howdy all and happy
New Year. We’re getting our 2009 season
put together
and the first order of business is the “Where the Old West Stayed Young” match
over Memorial Day week-end. This year
will be our 24th annual match.
We will continue to
shoot the main match stages over two days, with side matches Saturday afternoon. The week-end schedule will be like this:
Friday 1:00PM Match set-up and registration
Saturday 8:00AM Registration
and door prize drawing
9:00AM Shooters
meeting
9:30AM
12:30PM Lunch (included in match fee)

On your entry form
write in the class you want to shoot. This
year we will use the new SASS categories.
Some categories may be under-represented and need to be
consolidated. Should this occur, you
will be given the opportunity to choose another category. SASS membership will be a participation
requirement. We will be offering our
usual selection of side matches again this year. A blanket $10 fee will get you into all the
side matches and you are welcome to pre-pay with your match entry. Due to increased expenses we have been forced
to raise our prices a bit this year, but we have also reduced one important
one: shooters under 18 years of age now
shoot for free.
We are a small club
and have suffered some “defections” lately and we need your help. If you can help with any of the side matches
or if you can be a posse marshal or deputy the Rangers would really appreciate
your assistance.
Rangers information
can be found on line at The Bears Ears Sportsman Club (BESC) web page. Please check us out at:
We’re trying to do as
much as possible of the paperwork, notifications, etc. on-line as it saves paper,
time and money. If you have access to
e-mail please send us that information so we can communicate with you
better.
