The Northwest Colorado Rangers are a group of cowboy action shooters located in the northwest corner of Colorado in the town of Craig.  We are affiliated with the Single Action Shooting Society (SASS)  and hold our matches at the Bears Ears Sportsman Club’s Cedar Mountain Range.  We held our first cowboy shooting match in the spring of 1985 and have been going regularly since then.  In 1997 we began shooting monthly matches from April through September.  We shoot a four stage match on the fourth Saturday of each of those months. 

We hold our annual match, “Where the Old West Stayed Young” over Memorial Day week-end each May.  Side matches are shot on Saturday and the eight stage main match is shot on Sunday.  In 2004 we had 100 shooters participating, a number of suttlers and a good turnout of spectators.

We are dedicated to having a good time and always do all that we can to make sure all our participants have fun shooting with us.  Safety is critical to a fun shooting match and is the one aspect of cowboy action shooting where we “cut no slack”.
