Camping is allowed and those looking to camp at the range should contact me in advance to make arrangements. This is dry camping with no amenities. If anyone is looking for hotel recommendations please contact me.

Loading is in the clubhouse where we have space for about 30 shooters and their reloading equipment and there are electrical outlets available for chargemasters, autotricklers etc.

We have 3 sets of range flags available for use by out of town shooters, and we also have Farley bases for people who want to travel only with the Farley tops.
There will be a BBQ on the Saturday after the shooting is completed. The club will supply the main course, side dishes and soft drinks.

Friday practice day and BR201 is available for everyone. Out of towners and non-members let me know in advance if you plan to participate in this so we can arrange gate access on the Thursday and Friday.

It is very helpful for us to know in advance who all is coming to this shoot, to arrange helpers and support to make the match run smoothly. To that end please let me know if you are attending, unless we have communicated already.

The Stampede Shootout is complete. This was the best attended shoot we have had a Rosebud, other the World Championships. It was great to see so many out of town shooters. It definitely makes it worthwhile to host the shoots when so many people participate.

Once again Mark Dumont brought his A-Game and beat the stuffing out of us. Well done Mark, you are the Stampede Shootout 4-Gun Champion!

Thanks go out to the Rosebud Club for the use of the facility and to all the Helpers that make it happen!

This was my first match and I didn't really know what to expect. I was there for the full 4 days, what a great time!

Many thanks to everyone who organized and worked the event, everything was flawless.

I learned a lot, thanks for all the advice. I look forward to the next time I can make it up there, what a great facility. Also looking forward to another match, hopefully my speed will pick up a bit and I can actually look around a bit - the competition days are busy, you guys sure make it look easy.

This was my first match since 2021 and boy have the number of competitors sure grown in the past few years! It's so nice to see. Thanks to Rick for his continued hard work promoting benchrest in Canada.

I would also like to thank Rick and his team for putting on a great event.  Congratulations to all the winners!! 

This was my second time at the stampede and thoroughly enjoyed myself.   And I learned a very important lesson about 'equipment failure' on my last target lol.   The support and learning opportunities are Top Notch.  Looking forward to the next time I get to see you all again. 

Have a great rest of the summer and best of luck to our National team in Paris.
