SWAP MEET – We all have clothing, leather, guns, etc. that we’re no longer using. Here’s an opportunity to get rid of it and make a few bucks in the process. Part of the pavilion will be designated as our “Spook Hollow Swap Meet” area. Bring your merchandise to the range on Friday and find an available table. Sellers are responsible for tagging their merchandise. The swap meet will not be staffed. Sit nearby or use the honor system – it’s your choice. All unsold merchandise must be removed at the end of the day on Friday.
RO I and RO II COURSES – SASS certified safety courses are essential to the education and safety of all participants at any skill level in Cowboy Action Shooting™. At a minimum, all competitors should attend RO I to ensure the understanding of all SASS safety covenants and basic rules of the game. RO refreshers are also important as SASS rules change often.
The RO I & RO II courses will be conducted on Friday. The costs are $25.00 for RO I, $25.00 for RO II, and $10 for RO I or RO II refresher. Pre-registration is required, so please sign-up with Loco Poco Lobo and Nawlins Kid at wild1911@outlook.com to get more information.
