5 Dogs Creek Cowboy Action Shooters Monthly Matches are the 1st Sunday of the month, and also the Saturday of the same weekend usually starting at 9 am in winter or 8:30 am (summer). But check the current newsletter to be sure!
WINTER HOURS: Registration office opens at 8:00 am. Please register no later than 8:45 am Mandatory shooter’s meeting at 9 am. Match begins immediately following the shooter’s meeting.
SUMMER HOURS: Registration office opens at 7:30 am. Please register no later than 8:15 am Mandatory shooter’s meeting at 8:30 am. Match begins immediately following the shooter’s meeting.
Each day is a separate match. Sometimes there is a work party on Saturday of the week before. We use SASS rules. We usually shoot 5 or 6 stages per day, with an average of 24 shots per; so bring at least 60 rounds for your single action revolvers, 60 rounds for your lever action rifle, and 30-50 shells for your shotgun. Per Day. More is better. Don’t forget your ear plugs & protective glasses. Protective glasses are required. (Sunglasses ok). Daily match fees are $20 and members get a $5 discount to $15. Due to insurance requirements, NRA membership is required for all 5 Dogs Creek members. (NRA discount coupon link in footer below).
We don’t break for lunch, so bring a meal or a snack & eat when you’re hungry. We usually eat lunch at the center tables & read the scores after the match. You’re going to want to bring water or gatorade or something to drink too. You should probably bring a lunch or snack just so you don’t go hungry. Free camping on the nights before our regular monthly matches. Sometimes we like to have a potluck dinner or movie night outdoors. 🙂 We do like to have a good time, so be prepared to be friendly!
If you are new or even sort of new to Cowboy Action shooting, we encourage you to come out and watch a Saturday match, and talk to our “Sheriff” so he can walk you through the safety check. Then you can shoot the Sunday match with us if you are ready. Even if you are an experienced shooter you will likely pick up some good tips. We try to make this worthwhile time for you, and we are really big on safety. We have a great safety record. We want you to come back!
