General Information:

Cowboy Match Day - Our Brazos Ranger's cowboy matches are held the second Sunday of each month (8:00am - Noon):

Registration starts at 7:45am ($15 donation). After a safety meeting at 8:30am shooting start on six action packed stages. We have good sun and rain cover so don't let a light sprinkle scare you off. Cowboy town "Fort Tyler" is accessible at the far-right end of the Greenwood Club property. Take the road around right side of maintenance buildings then left (we're located behind the 25yd pistol berm). Our cowboy director Slimy (scottlittlefish@hotmail.com) can add you to our emailing list and provide gate access code for match days. New shooters and spectators are welcome (eye and ear protection mandatory). See links below for more information on the cowboy action shooting discipline. During the heat of the Texas summer, dress code is causal. You'll just need proper cowboy hat and boots, pants optional. Water and Gatorade will be available during matches.

Note: Wild Bunch will be shot as follows: One regular match pistol shot first, one modern or traditional 1911 shot second at regular pistol targets, and regular match rifle and shotgun (shotgun starts empty). 

Cowboy Practice Day - Held on first Saturday of month and includes lever rifle silhouette shooters (8:00am to Noon):

Cowboy practice is scheduled for the first Saturday of each month. New and expert shooters are welcome. The regular cowboy pistol, shotgun, rifle, and Cody Dixon targets are available, as well as steel silhouettes and steel plates from 40 to 300 meters. Please use lead bullets only on the cowboy targets! Gas checks on lead rifle projectiles are OK. Number #7 is maximum size bird shot size allowed on shotgun targets. Jacketed reduced loads OK for rifle silhouette knock down steel (see range rules below). Remember eye and hearing protection required for everyone on the range including spectators. There are newly built benches on the far right of town available for longer range shooting (100 meters - 300 meters) so bring your Buffalo rifles to practice days.

Cowboy Range Rules: 

1. Access to the cowboy range is only allowed during scheduled or non-scheduled matches and practice sessions when the cowboy director or an approved "key-holder" is present.

2. Designated key-holders are familiar with the particulars of shooting steel targets on our range and which targets can be shot with various types of projectiles and calibers of firearms.

3. Eye protection is mandatory for all persons on the cowboy range at all times, including spectators. 

4. No cross firing allowed. Shooters must only engage steel directly in front of them with impact berm behind the target.

5. There are three categories of steel targets used on the range:

   • Cowboy pistol, shotgun, rifle and Cody Dixon rifle steel targets can only be shot with low velocity cowboy SASS type lead loads (gas checks OK on Cody Dixon rifle targets). Cowboy targets are painted white and are located on the main part of range in front of cowboy town. Ammo used on cowboy action steel targets must be lead with the maximum velocity for revolvers of 1000 fps and maximum velocity for rifles of 1400 fps. Shotgun limited to #7 lead bird shot or smaller. 

   • Air rifle and 22 rimfire only steel targets are painted white and are located on the far-right side of the range down the 300-meter alley and generally are small in size. These steel targets may only be shot with 22 rimfire or appropriate air-rifle projectiles. 

   • The knock down steel silhouette animal targets (i.e. chicken, pig, turkey, ram) may be shot with up to full power black powder Buffalo rifle cartridges or equivalent reduced smokeless loads (i.e. 45-70, 38-55, 30-30, etc.) and pistol caliber rifles or pistols. Lead or jacketed projectiles are OK. These silhouettes are located at 40, 53, 67, 100, 150, and 200 meters to the left and down the 300-meter alley. Also, the white fixed steel plates down the 300-meter alley can be shot with these types of firearms, including 22 rimfires.

6. If you are not sure which targets can be safely engaged with your firearm, caliber or projectile, seek clarification from the on-site "key-holder" or cowboy director before shooting.
