NORTHWEST COLORADO RANGERS
Howdy all and happy New Year. We’re getting our 2010 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 25th annual match.

On your entry form write in the class you want to shoot. 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 as always. A blanket $10 fee will get you into all the side matches and you are welcome to pre-pay with your match entry. Entry fees are unchanged from last year.
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.
