2016 Iron Hero is in the Books

Thanks to all that came out to the 2016 Iron Hero, where every stage was based on a scene from a different Randolph Scott movie. Even with some last minute cancellations, we still ended up with 42 shooters, and it was a full day of smiles and gun smoke. 2017 should be even better, and we look forward to you joining us.

July 2016 Match Results

Although we only had six cowboys at the match today, we were lucky enough to welcome a cowboy from Kansas to our little match today. The heat held off most of the morning, and there were quite a few smiles as we worked through six stages. The stages we shot today used the new hotel prop, the ticket office, and the wagon, and included a stage based on the movie Open Range.

We hope you can join us in August, as we get ready to shoot another six stages. For those of you who are coming in from out of town, the Grand Island Rifle Club hosts their monthly cowboy shoots the day after ours.

Match results for today are as follows:

Let’s ride!
