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 ½ 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."
For additional information see the EVENTS &
SCHEDULES page.

HAPPY
FALL!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
HAPPY TURKEY SHOOT!
Hope
this newsletter finds everyone dusting off his or her gun and
getting ready for the Turkey Shoot this weekend.
If you are going to camp, word is out that the gate will be
open on Friday so all can set up to be ready to shoot bright and
early Saturday morning. Marvin will not be out until Saturday so
make sure you have enough supplies to get started shooting anyway.
I
guess you noticed we added a re-entry choice to all targets. We
thought that would be a nice addition for all you really serious
shooters who might want to try to improve your score on certain
targets. We will see what everyone thinks about this new format
and, who knows, it may become a permanent thing. We are giving Walmart
Gift Cards again for prizes for 1st
and 2nd place and Game Hens for 3rd,
back by popular demand. It seems that some had their feathers all
ruffled last year, so to speak, so we decided to bring them back.
The reason we went to gift cards, in case you don’t know the
story, was because folks were winning multiple frozen turkeys but
were having problems getting them home so we went to the gift
cards. They are much easier to transport and you can get what you
want with them. By the way, December is just around the corner
bringing the joy of the Christmas Holiday and ……. Linda’s
birthday…
We
also have a new cook for our Saturday night feed. Ken Matlock has
graciously agreed to cook the meat for us. Ken has been a club
member for a while now. He
does catering and has cooked at several restaurants in Wichita
Falls as well as owning his own restaurant. If you never went to
Matlock’s in downtown Wichita Falls, you missed a treat. He now
concentrates on his catering business and we are very lucky he had
time to do this for us. Thank you Ken!!
We
also want to let you know that we are going to have a limited
snack bar. We will have breakfast as usual, but for lunch we will
have beans and corn bread, or hotdogs. We will have soft drinks,
water and coffee. It costs a lot to fully stock the snack bar and
we are trying to be as economical as possible, but still serve you
well. Besides, you want to save room for our good meal on Saturday
night!
We
just want to clarify that the correct date for the Turkey Shoot is
Saturday, October 24th, and Sunday, October 25th.
Shooting will end at noon on Sunday as always so we can get
everything figured and all our shooters who travel, can get home
in a timely manner. There was apparently a brochure that was sent
out with no date on it for the shoot. So if you happened to get
one of those, now you know when to show up.
One
more thing we would like to address. Sunday, when we are trying to
get everything figured, seems to be the time everyone wants to
come in and visit or pay his or her tab. We would appreciate it
very much if you would do that early or wait until we have
everything finished. We will try to have someone take care of that
while we are working, but if we don’t have any help, please bare
with us. If we get sidetracked, mistakes could be made, we’d
have to re-enter the information and then it could take longer to
get everything ready; you get the idea. Thanks for everyone’s
patience with us during this time.

If
you noticed, our Sub-Junior match had three shooters that haven’t been
here in a while. Danny and Angie Cantrell’s
grandsons
are staying with them now. The boys’ mother is in training to serve our
Country in the Army and their father
is
already serving in Germany. The young Cantrells haven’t shot too much
and the other shooter, our grandson Ethan,
has
never shot. So the boys did some great shooting!!! Ya’ll older shooters
better watch out!!!
Just
a note to let you know Mike and Bobbie Pence’s grandson, Jordan is in
the hospital in Fort Worth undergoing
chemotherapy
treatment for leukemia. He has done this before, so it is not new to him
or his family. He and his
family
need
our thoughts and prayers at this time.
“Jordan,
we are all praying you get better real soon!!!”
Roger
and Pat Fowler are the proud great-grandparents of Elijah Wade Henricks.
His grandparents are
Jim
and Lisa Pharris and parents are Skyler and Marie Pharris Henricks. He was
born August 23, 2009.
Here
