Well, another year has come and gone. Another wonderful year of cowboy shooting to look forward to! The Indian River Regulators would like to say THANKS to everyone that helped out over the past year. You may not realize it, but even the very small things help make a better shoot for everyone! We have more fun matches planned for you in 2007, and hope to see all of you down the trail! Many, many thanks to our "ghost writer", Greta Dee, for designing the excellent stages for the December match.

The Last Stand 2007 is only a few days away. The committee and their band of rowdies have worked very hard to make this year’s "shooter’s shoot" the best every. Tip of the Stetson to them, and good luck to all the competitors! Shoot ‘em up!

We will be scheduling R/O classes in the first quarter of 2007. If you are interested, please watch this newsletter for more info.

The monthly cowboy class is the first Saturday of the month. This is a great opportunity to introduce someone to the sport, or to get a "refresher". If you are interested, or know someone who would like to try out cowboy action shooting, please call Turkey Creek Red at (321)728-7928 or Utah at (321)951-1223.

Safety is always first and foremost. Please remember Port Malabar Rifle and Pistol Club is a private range, and we have a lot of people shooting in areas you can’t always see. Please do not handle your guns unnecessarily at your vehicle when transferring them to gun carts. Be mindful of your muzzle direction. Resist the urge to show off that new fancy rig until you are inside the action area in a designated safe area. Observe the 10mph speed limit. Please park in the open lot across from the registration area and NOT along the bullseye line. Additional parking is available in the pistol practice area just south of Bay 1. Parking inside the action area is limited to handicapped vehicles without trailers and Indian River Regulator Cowboy Council members. Your support and consideration in these areas will make us better neighbors with out other shooting disciplines.

If you are a member, of PMRPC please refer to your monthly news letter regarding the new rules for use of the action area, or see Turkey Creek Red

Remember, at the Port Malabar Rifle and Pistol Club, all juniors shoot free of charge. This is an excellent way to get more young people involved in our wonderful sport. If you know someone who might be interested in cowboy action shooting, please encourage them to attend the cowboy class and come join the fun!

Got comments? Suggestions? Criticisms? Got an idea for a stage? WE WANT YOUR INPUT! This is YOUR shoot and we feel this truly is an interactive sport! You can write us, call us at (321) 728-7928 or e-mail us at Ccoll28198@aol.com – even if you want to remain a "Ghost Writer". We members of the press know how to protect our sources. Get involved!
