And thats a wrap for the 2026 outdoor shooting season. A little chilly to start the morning, but we had 11 shooters join us.

Congratulations to JB Kidd for taking the overall win! Lots of fun was had today, so much that we had no clean shooters.

We will be sending more information soon for the winter indoor shooting at CrossRoads.

We were able to get our Saturday match in the books. It was damp and humid but the rain held off and we had a great match with 11 shooters.

JB Kidd laid down some smoking times, but let one round get away.

Cactus Clark and Lucky Shot Sassman were able to keep it locked in for a clean match.

Thank you again for all the brave shooters that came out.

Out next match is on the books for September 6th, so plan on coming out and having some fun.

Rain Rain Go Away because I want to shoot on Saturday,

Greeting fellow shooter,

We are still planning on getting a match in tomorrow. It currently looks like we will be getting more rain overnight, but by day break it should have stopped. Please plan for wet grass and some damp stages, but we are going to work on getting in 6 fun filled stages.

So come on down to Coyote Gulch tomorrow, gate will be open before 8 (they are probably open right now) and we will have a safety meeting at 9:30 and start shooting right after that.

So please come on out and have some fun tomorrow.

Good Evening Fellow Shooters,

We had a great day at Coyote Gulch. The weather was great, stages were fast and the cowboy comradery on point. 16 Shooters were in attendance and JB Kidd took the top spot. Chili Pepper Kid and Naco held it together for a clean shoot. Our next match is August 15 and don’t forget Zen is shooting next Saturday.

Thanks again for all who attended today’s match,

Good Evening Fellow Cowboy Action enthusiasts,

We are going to have a workday this Saturday August 1st. The plan of attack is general lawn and yard care, with the possibility of some painting, general clean up and organization, and setting and painting steel for the match on Sunday. We will be at the range by about 9 am and likely one of us will be there until 3 or 4 pm. Please feel free to bring you any tools you would like, rakes, loppers, weed eaters……

We will then gather again on Sunday morning for our Sunday Monthly match. It will be our normal 6 stages. Our safety meeting will be at 930 am and we will shoot until finished.

The weather both days don’t look horrible compared to what we have all been dealing with, so if you can please find your way to Coyote Gulch and come enjoy some friendly cowboy competition.

Good Afternoon, Fellow Shooters,

For those of you who haven’t heard, the Zen Shoots range took on a tremendous amount of water over the past 10 days. Unfortunately, the flooding has left them unable to hold their match this weekend. As I understand it, they’ll be spending their normal shooting weekend getting the range cleaned up and back in shape. Sad news—there will be no match at Zen this weekend.

Since approximately 95% of the Fort Des Moines Rangers Board of Directors will be attending the Illinois State Shoot on July 18, we have decided to cancel our monthly match. However, in lieu of our match, Zen Shoots will be hosting a make-up match on July 18.

If you’re available, please consider heading over to Zen Shoots to support the club and enjoy a great day of Cowboy Action Shooting.

Thank you,

Cactus Clark
