    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. 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 (located behind the 25yd pistol berm). Our cowboy director (Slimy, contact scottlittlefish@hotmail.com) can add you to 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). 

    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). Pre-loaded 1911 magazines are OK on your cart or belt.

    Cowboy Practice Day - Held on first Saturday of month and includes cowboy lever rifle silhouette shooters (8:00am to Noon). We now have monthly Cowboy Action practice 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 for practice, as well as our new lever action steel silhouettes and sighter plates from 50 meters out to 300 meters. Please use lead bullets only on the cowboy targets (jacketed OK for rifle silhouette knock down steel, see range rules below). Gas checks OK for lead rifle projectiles. Number #7 is maximum size bird shot size allowed on shotgun targets. 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.

    For more information or to get on the emailing list for cowboy matches and practice days contact cowboy director "Slimy" aka Scott Miller at scottlittlefish@hotmail.com. Other local highly skilled cowboy shooters that can provide help are Charles Webb (aka Rail Boss), Chris Browning (aka Hoof), and Steve Horelica (aka Rowdy Yates).

    Long Range 22lr Benchrest Silhouette Match Day - Held on the Third Saturday of each month (8:00am - 2:00pm). Registration and practice will be from 8:30am -10am.  The match will run from 10am to +/- 2pm. Registration donation is $10 which will include all practice time before the match, a 40-animal silhouette match and any other 22 shooting you want to do after the match until around 2pm. Distances for all silhouettes are as follows:

    • 10- 1/10 scale chickens shot at 67 meters
    • 10- 1/10 scale pigs shot at 100 meters
    • 10- 1/10 scale turkeys shot at 150 meters
    • 10- 1/5 scale rams shot at 200 meters

    There will be a 2-minute sighter period for the beginning of each relay, then a 2-minute period to shoot 5 silhouettes. A short reloading period, then a 2-minute period to shoot 5 silhouettes for the second half of that relay. Reset the animals, rotate positions and shoot again. Also, there will be silhouette animals set at 250 and 300 meters for your shooting pleasure after the match has completed. If we get the range cleared a long-range match may be added (250m to 335y). See range picture at bottom of this page.

    Cowboy Lever Rifle Silhouette Match Day - Held on fourth Saturday of the month (8:00am to 2:00pm). We have started a new match shot with lever action rifles (single shot rifles welcome too) shot standing at full size steel silhouettes. We shoot chickens at 67 meters, pigs at 100 meters, turkeys at 150 meters and rams at 200 meters. Swinger steel is available at each distance for sighters.  The match is designed so center-fire rifle and pistol caliber rifles can compete (i.e. 30-30, 38-55, 45-70, 32-20, 25-20, 38/357, 44-40, 44mag/spl, 45Colt, etc.). Match days start at: 8am practice, 9am registration, 10am match starts ($10 donation). We have also added a 22lr lever rifle and pistol caliber lever rifle only match on this same day following the big bore match. Distances are at 40, 53, 67 and 100 meters (this fits our range) with correct reduced size silhouettes. See range picture at bottom of this page.

    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 a board 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 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 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.
