We are so fortunate to have such wonderful people to take care of our catering needs. Below are the minutes from that meeting: Secretarial Report - Since the previous minutes were posted in the and on the web site, there was a motion to suspend the reading of the minutes and it was approved. Treasury Report - Cameo Rose presented a detailed annual treasury report which indicated that we have $12, in our checking account and $4, in our savings account.

Our Goal: To introduce young people to the pleasures and responsibilities of the shooting sports within the framework of the traditional Old West while using single action revolvers, rifles and a shot gun. Our intent is to provide a family-friendly shooting environment which can be enjoyed by all. Our #1 priority is SAFETY.
