Three years ago we held our match at this range. The range was just open bays without props. Or if there where props they were removable type props. Now the range has permanent buildings. Actually it is a complete town. Almost every bay has some sort of building type prop or corral. Behind the posse area there is a false front town running the entire length of the shooting area with a nice 5' or 6' board walk with shade. This range has been hosting the SASS Western Regional for the past few years.

"Thunder Valley" has become an annual all black powder match. The format for each shoot varies from match to match. Whoever takes on the match as Match Director pretty much has free rein to do as they want with in guide lines.

Well actually the guidelines are vary simple. 
"Let's be safe, make lots of SMOKE and have fun doing it." 

This year the stages are reminiscent of 10 or 15 years ago. There's more to do than just shoot from a table. Lassos, drinking, knifes, dynamite and moving targets will be some of the things you can expect this year. Also this year the main match stages are posted here so everyone can see what will be happening at this match. There will be no surprises when you sign up.

Something everyone will want to take notice of is the categories. There are only five with two of those divided in to men's and women's. The categories are defined by the combination of guns used. Look this over carefully. Only the Plainsman category follows SASS.
