The Long Riders!

 

Cowboy Action Shooting

The Long Riders, Inc. is a Cowboy Action Shooting club that was founded in February 1995.  The first shoot was held at the private range Heritage Rifles, but the club quickly outgrew the space and moved in the summer of 1995 to the spacious Shortsville Rod & Gun Club, where we still shoot today.

Over the last several years, not only have the Long Riders built up a core, stable membership, but have built a small cowboy “town” or facade for our storage facilities and numerous targets.

We hold regular shoots normally on the fourth Sunday of each month from April through October. Check the Event Calendar on this site for actual dates.

SASS members are invited to visit our range and monthly shoots.
