RED RIVER
RENEGADES |
|
|
The Red River Renegades is another Texas First! It is a black-powder, muzzle-loading only gun club. It is chartered and sanctioned by the National Muzzle Loading Rifle Association (NMLRA) and the Texas Muzzle Loading Rifle Association (TMLRA)
The club is located 4 miles east of Electra, Texas. Heading west on Highway 287 from Wichita Falls, you take the Business 287 exit, continue west until you see ""Old Gun Club Road"" on the right; turn and it is about ˝ mile on the left. We have a covered firing line, club house, limited electricity but sorry, no running water as yet. In addition to the 100 yard firing line, we have a trap range, a skeet range and a sporting clay range. There are two monthly shoots: The second Sunday of each month is Shotgun Sunday. We usually shoot either trap or skeet and occasionally will shoot sporting clays. The last Sunday of each month is Rifle/Handgun Sunday. We have aggregates for Bench, Percussion, Flintlock, Musket, Handgun (Pistol and Revolver), In-Line, Ladies, Juniors and Sub-Juniors. Gun Safety, marksmanship, sportsmanship and fellowship are stressed. Red River Renegades believe "There are no strangers at our gun range –– Only friends we haven’t met yet."

Hope
this finds everyone having a good summer, but looking forward to fall. I
know I am. It sure has been hot lately, but none to soon we will be
stoking the fire. That just makes me feel cooler thinking about it! Some
good news, we are in the process of getting our backstop redone. I am not
sure when, but we have someone lined up to do it, so whenever he gets to
it we will have a much improved range, not to mention safer range. By
the time you get this own Roger Fowler will be recouping from knee
replacement surgery. He has been suffering for a while, but finally
decided to bite the bullet and do it. Hope everything goes well for him
and he will be out shooting with us again soon. Get well soon Roger!! A
bit of sad news, our condolences go out to Gary Black on the loss of his
son. Our thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family. We
just practiced at our last monthly shoot because no one was interested in
shooting gongs, so we just picked out some targets and shot.
We had fun just the same. If you missed it, you missed a good time.
Hope to see you next month, because aggregate scores start and I know you
want to be in the running!! I will be out of town this weekend so please help Angie and her family in the range house. Thanks for taking care of it for me. I
will be back next month.
