SASS-A Sport For All Skill Levels

I am sure that a lot of you have seen the fast shooters, either in person or in videos. Don’t let that intimidate you. We are a family sport, with shooters of all ages and skill levels. For every twenty second shooter, there are quite a few that will shoot the same stage in sixty+ seconds. The one thing in common is that all of the shooters leave the line smiling.

Stages are designed with fun in mind so you can have a blast, whether you are someone that is fast, or just someone out for a relaxing fun day at the range. We strive safety above all else, so as long as you are safe, there is no wrong way to enjoy a SASS match.

SASS truly is a shooting sport for everyone!

2015 Match Fees Announced

After discussing our match fees with the superintendent of the park, the decision was reached to keep the match fees at their current $15 for our monthly matches.

We were hoping to be able to drop the fees to match some of the other shoots in the state, but as was pointed out, the city has invested tens of thousands of dollars into our existing props and cowboy targets, and despite our low attendance numbers over the last few years, they also gave us a commitment to put additional money into repairing and upgrading the props over the off season so we will have a fresh look in the spring.

At least at the beginning of the season, we will not be including a lunch with our matches. I am hoping that maybe we can have a few of them be potluck lunches where we all can bring something to share. If we get our attendance numbers up, it will be easier to bring out food service for the match.

Want to save money on your match fees? We will be setting up the matches the weekend before the match (dates/times will be announced on this site). Any cowboys that come out and set up the match with us will get a $10 discount on your match fees, so for a couple hours of effort, you will get to shoot the monthly match for only $5

We look forward to seeing you join us, and the only strangers are those that haven’t come out to shoot with us yet. Once you come out once, you are family.

Some Of Our Props

At Heartland Public Shooting Park, we are lucky to have a number of props available to us for use. A lot of the past and current members worked very hard in getting them built and painted, and we are grateful for their past efforts. As you can see, they all need a little TLC, and over the off season, I hope to be able to put together some crews to get them back to their original glory for your enjoyment when you come out to join us. We have a lot of work ahead of us, and we hope to be able to show you the progress as we go.

Luckily, we already have commitments from people to volunteer to help us get them back into shape, including a few “honorary cowboys” from other venues that don’t shoot SASS, but want to see the club rebound.
