Are you looking for a shooting sport that can provide you with the enjoyment of spending time with some of the best folks you will ever meet?  Or perhaps you are searching for some good natured competition with a variety of ways to hone your skills.  Maybe it's a desire to bring back those childhood memories of Gene, Roy, Hoppy and The Duke that have peaked your interest in cowboy action shooting.  Whatever the reason, you can probably satisfy it here. 

You will meet some terrific cowboys and cowgirls and foster many new friendships.  You'll often find yourself laughing and smiling until it aches.  Folks will lend you anything they can and help you out with with neverending advice to get you started.  All you need to do is step onto the range and say howdy.  The cowboys and cowgirls at El Posse Grande will do all they can to bring you into the fold.

Our monthly cowboy shoots are held on the 4th Sunday of each month from March through October.  Registration takes place at 8:00 am to 9:30 am.  A mandatory safety meeting begins at 9:35 and the shooting starts at 10:00 am. Our 2011 shooting schedule is at the bottom of this page.  If you are already taking part in cowboy shooting, we would like to invite you to our range.  If you are intested in getting started, stop by and check us out. 

We shoot 6 stages at a regular monthly match.  Our range features several false front shooting bays with other props, both large and small, adding to the atmosphere.  A hearty all-you-can-eat cowboy lunch can be found at our cowboy clubhouse for a small donation.

We offer free camping anywhere at the top of the hill by the main club house.  Sorry, we don't have electric or water hook-ups for campers.  Please do not camp in the parking lots.  We need the room for general parking.

If you're not into camping here are a few places to stay within approximately a half hour drive of the shoot.  Due to the burgeoning gas drilling operations in the area, many of our local lodging facilities have been providing long-term room rentals to the workers.  At least one of these hotels has contacted those who had room reserved for our match and informed them that they have cancelled all previous reservations.  We apologize for any inconvenience this has created to our shooters and are working to find suitable accommodations in the area.  Although, they are further away, we have added a few more names to this list.
