Golf With A Gun, An ATV And
A Cowboy Dress Code
We have already have Cowboy Snooker and Cowboy Fast Draw - but wait for it - there is a new
game coming to town. It is called Rifle Golf - a fun
and exhilarating new sport that has mass appeal
to anyone who has ever enjoyed shooting a rifle.
Combine the two words golf and shooting and in
the same sentence gets most folks really pumped
up. Combine these already two great pastimes
and what do you get? An experience like no other!
This is one game that requires you to tee off
with abang! Can it get any better than this? I
think not.
The game of Rifle Golf was born in 2005 on a
family ranch in Utah, U.S.A. The brainchild of
Stuart Petersen Rifle Golf was spawned after a
day of poor deer hunting an idea popped into Petersen’s head. Instead of passing time shooting at
randomly placed targets why not set out a whole
golf course with multiple targets and then create
a scoring system that would produce real competition
Sitting around the campfire he started to sketch
out how the new game would work. Initially there
laughs all around and the group made the usual
humorous correlations between shooting and golf.
As the night progressed however the idea began
to take shape and the seeds of a new sport were
planted.
The initial challenge was to be able to set out
courses that would allow each shooting station to
have complete isolation. Second was to be able to
establish a target system that would provide an
identifiable response when hit.
After overcoming these hurdles and many hundreds indeed thousands of hours of work the first
Rifle Golf range was established.
Targets are set out between 175 yards and 1250
yards to simulate real life conditions and to allow
shooters to take the shot when it really counts.
How does it work? After registering at the club
house the Range Guide explains the safety issues
and the procedures. It is then off to the range on
your ATV accompanied by the Range Guide who
will lead the group down the “Tee Off Trail”. At
this point the guide points out the various targets
and you then select your bench position, scan the
range and select your target. A quick yardage reference is shouted by the guide. The shooter says
“got it” and declares the target e.g. “Moose broadside 478 yards” The shooter takes aim at a white
steel plate which represents the vital. Hits on the
wood surround are not acceptable.
The guide will score hits and misses. If the
shooter hits the target on the first shot it is an
Eagle, if the second a Birdie and the third equals
Par. If you miss your Par shot you will be
awarded a Bogie.
Then it is on your ATV and on to the next hole.

Rifle Golf
(continued from page 2)
In reality it is all about teaching shooters good
marksmanship and better skills when hunting in
the field. The good practice of making clean and humane shots in the field is a paramount goal whilst
playing a round of Rifle Golf.
Oh yes all this requires the shooter to be wearing
his or her best Cowboy clobber to boot.
Whilst this game is played on a 10,000 acre property it is entirely possible to scale this game down to
suit an appropriate range. Rifle Mini-Golf maybe?
Is there no limit to thinking outside the square? I
wonder how Shotgun Cricket would work???
Footnote: Spirit Ridge Rifle Golf Club is located in
Whites Valley, a secluded ranch and farmland on
the Utah and Idaho border 150 kilometers north of
Salt Lake City.

sacrificial metal plates Sam has what many would
regard as perfected the art. Not so in Sam’s eyes
however as he does not accept anything other than
110% as being acceptable “when it comes to
“scratching out patterns on other folks guns”
Having scrutinized some of Sam’s work over recent months it is hard to be anything but super impressed with the style which is quite individual in
character much like a creative artist. Yosemite Sam
also of South Australia has jumped the queue and
his guns are now very individual indeed. It could be
said that they are pretty but that is not cowboy like
so suffice to say they are magnificent creations of
the engravers art.
We are indeed fortunate to have our own Gun Engraver to bring our fantasies to reality on our firearms.

RANGEMASTER
ON
RULES & SAFETY
Howdy Cowboys, Cowgirls, Buckaroos and
Buckarettes . Welcome to another foray into
rules and other related matters.
Insurance Coverage
First and foremost I am going to clarify some issues in relation to insurance and how these issues
effect the way we apply the rules.
The SASS rules are the international rules of Single Action Shooting and these are the rules that
have been adopted by S.S.A.A. as the national rules.
What does this mean? Simply these rules are to be
applied to ALL matches and events irrespective as
to whether the match or event is club level or indeed
above club level. Additionally those sections of the
S.S.A.A. Standard Competition Rules also apply to
above club level matches. Local Range Rules relative to legislative and range approval constraints
may also apply. Complicated you might say but in
fact it is relatively simple. The problems occur when
clubs or match organizers “re-invent the wheel” so
to speak. I refer in particular to the invention of non
SASS approved shooting categories or any relaxing
or re-interpretation of the approved rules. One aspect of Single Action Shooting as a discipline is the
ability to write matches and stages in accordance
with a set of rules but unlike other shooting disciplines not all courses of fire are identical. It is this
issue that can effect insurance coverage.
Briefly to ensure that insurance coverage remains
in place all events should be designed in accordance
with the approved rules and shooting categories. It
is as simple as that.
Questions & Answers
Q:. I attended a match recently where I received a
procedural penalty for re-engaging a shotgun target
after completing the shotgun sequence. The Stage
Description stated that the shooter was required to
engage for knockdown shotgun targets from left to
right. I engaged all four from left to right but reengaged the third target after the fourth target fell.
I was awarded a “P” because I was told that I should
have re-engaged the third target before the fourth.
Is this correct?
A: NO This is not correct in the scenario you
have mentioned. A knockdown target may be
re-engaged at anytime within the shooting
string to ensure it falls to count as a hit. There
are instances where this may not be the case
but such instances must be clearly stated in
the stage directions otherwise the standard
Stage Conventions apply. This applies at club
level matches and above.
Q: If I am forced to shoot an extra round in my rifle
from the wrong shooting position am I allowed to reload that round and engage the target from the correct shooting position without a penalty
A: This question is fairly brief and scant on exact detail however here is the generic answer.
The shooter is required to engage three rifle
targets in a Nevada Sweep from Position A then
move with the action closed on a spent round to
Position B and engage another three rifle targets in a Nevada Sweep. A total of ten rifle engagements. If the shooter inadvertently cycles
the action of the rifle whilst at Position A placing a sixth round under the hammer then that
round should be fired safely downrange and
not at any target and only then may the shooter
advance to Position B. At that point the shooter
may load another round at any time to complete the rifle string. There is no penalty for doing so. The time penalty has already been incurred in the breaking in the shooters rhythm
and the time taken to reload the round.
Q: I recently started shooting Gunfighter category
and am a little disappointed that there are not more
stages written for Gunfighters. I was told by another
Gunfighter that all matches are supposed to have at
least 50% of the stages written so that they are Gunfighter friendly. Can you throw any light on this
please.
There are many misconceptions about what is
and what isn’t a Gunfighter friendly stage so
perhaps I can dispel any myths and set out the
easy way to deal with Gunfighters here and
now. Firstly there is no rule either written or
otherwise that says any match must comprise a
specific number of stages especially for Gunfighters. Secondly it would become very boring
and uninteresting very quickly if every stage
required that revolvers be shot back to back
just to suit Gunfighters. Gunfighters must determine if they shoot any stage Gunfighter style
or Double Duelist style before actually shooting
the stage. Let us take a look then at just how we
can make all stages Gunfighter friendly.
The simplest way is to provide staging positions on the Firing Line so that Gunfighters
may stage their revolvers between shooting
strings where the revolvers are NOT shot back
to back. An example may be where the shooter
engages five revolver targets at Position A then
moves to Position B staging both revolvers at
the designated staging point (Continued on page 11)

Dear Single Action Shooters,
Another issue of The Telegraph rolls around so quickly it is sometimes difficult to be creative in what
to write. Fortunately there is always plenty to convey in this column however so I am going to get
right down to it.
Firstly the Single Action Family simply keeps on keeping on. By that I mean just look at the annual events that have recently been held, Trans Tasman Challenge, Dalby Pioneers and the Queensland State Championships to mention just a few. These events did not only attract one hundred
plus competitors but indeed closer to one hundred and fifty. Even Shootout At Billygoat Hill held in
Cowra New South Wales attracted over seventy competitors and this is well above the usual cutoff
limit. I have to say these events in fact surpass by a country mile my wildest dreams of ever reaching a competitor field of one hundred at any event. Well done to you all who continue to show support
for what is possibly the greatest shooting discipline of all time. Keep it growing and show our opponents we simply won’t be going away anytime soon.
On another matter I urge you to read Rangemaster in this issue for clarification in relation to insurance issues that may effect clubs and particularly above club level events. There is also a myriad
of answers to often asked questions about rules. It is important that even club level shooters who may
never shoot at above club level matches clearly understand the rules and how they should be administered.
As the world championships loom closer the twenty five Australian entrants are making ready for
the fray. Interestingly this year End of Trail will field around eight hundred competitors and included in that number are over ninety international shooters from eleven countries. Australian Single Action Shooters make up a little over 25% of the total international field. Further testimony to
our strength indeed. I will take this opportunity to wish all our entrants every success in their endeavors at End of Trail and other matches that they may compete in whilst in the U.S.A.
They are back! - The Henrys that is. - It is a tremendous pleasure to welcome home to The Family
Henry Sharps and Henry McCarty both of whom have taken a break from shooting in recent years.
Not only are they back but performing at the same high competition levels as in the past. Recently
Henry Sharps took overall honors at Winter Roundup and Henry McCarty showed how a Duelist can
mix it with the two handed shooters and show them a clean pair of heels.
In closing let me remind you that although it appears quiet on the legislation front there is never
any respite from ongoing attacks on our gun ownership rights in this country. I say rights because
that is exactly what they are. They are not privileges as our opponents might claim as there has
never been any mandate given to suggest that to be so. Always remain vigilant and keep your powder dry.
Until Next Time My Very Best Regards

What’s In a Name
Many of us have often wondered why we adopt a
shooting alias and often also we have attracted criticism for doing so. In particular other discipline
shooters have branded the Single Action Shooting
Family as a bunch of strange folks who dress up to
shoot. Our aim is not to dispel their views but
rather to address why shooting aliases are used.
Simply put it is true that in the Old West many
folks took on different names for different reasons.
Probably the most common is the nickname as we
know it. For example Big Nose Kate may have been
a really lovely lady with a big nose. This is actually
true. Well she was in reality a European lady of the
night who later took up with Doc Holliday. Ah biut
there is another nickname “Doc” Holliday. “Doc” he
was called due to the fact that he was a dentist by
profession.
Of course there were other reasons to change
names as well. Johnny Ringo for example was really
John Ringuet from New York. He changed his name
after committing murder. A sinister name change
indeed. Others adopted aliases or nicknames because of some trait or other that identified them.
Roy Dougherty born in 1870 in Missouri and died in
1924 in Joplin Missouri (yes Joplin is the small town
hit by the devastating tornado recently) was known
as “Arkansas Tom Jones” because as a young lad he
rebelled against his family and ran away from
home. Calling himself Tom Jones he hired on at an
Oklahoma ranch claiming he was from Arkansas
hence his nickname.
His checkered life saw him as a cowboy, bank robber. Convict, restaurant owner and movie actor - yes
movie actor.
After being paroled in 1910 after a stint with the
Doolin Gang he went to Hollywood to act in Westerns. Tiring of that he went back to bank robbery
and was shot dead in Joplin whilst resisting arrest
after bank robbery.
Indeed What’s in a name.!!!

Cowboy Fast Draw
CFDA Australian Chapter
Report
As we go to press this issue there are some exciting
new developments afoot in the Cowboy Fast Draw Association. Despite the ever growing number of clubs
and matches emerging in the United States here in
Australia there seems to be only a few clubs effectively
staging CFDA events on a regular basis. After a few
contacts have been made with various clubs around
Australia it has been determined that whilst there is
significant interest in Cowboy Fastdraw the costs associated with setting up a simple two lane bay inclusive
of timers and sensors is prohibitive for many clubs. The
average cost for setup is around AUD $1,000 due to the
high cost of the timer.
Well there is some really good news on that front
from CFDA America. A new timer has been developed
by Quick Cal and will be available shortly at a fraction
of the cost of the original timers. This should make the
game of Cowboy Fast Draw available to more clubs
around the country.
On another note planning is now underway for a major CFDA tournament to be held in 2012 . It is envisaged that this event will attract some of the best US
competitors to our shores. Discussions are currently
underway with the parent CFDA body.
Get your club started with CFDA and be eligible to
compete against the worlds best in 2012. You might be
surprised at just how accomplished you can get with
CFD when you put a little time in on the line.
Keep up to date by monitoring the SASA website for
developments. .

Howdy Cowboys and Cowgirls
Having just returned from Winter Range, the US Nationals hosted by the Arizona Territorial Company of
Rough Riders, I thought it would be appropriate to write about the Rough Riders.
In 1898 the 1st United States Volunteer Cavalry was formed to fight in Cuba against the Spanish in the
Spanish-American War. The unit was lead by Lt Col Theodore Roosevelt (Teddy) which formed part of
the 1st Cavalry Brigade.
The men were gathered mainly from the southwest areas of the US because it was a hot climate region
which is similar to that of Cuba where they would be fighting. They gathered a diverse bunch of men consisting of cowboys, gold or mining prospectors, hunters, gamblers, Buffalo soldiers, Native Americans and
college boys; all of whom were able-bodied and capable on horseback and in shooting.
The uniforms of the regiment were designed to set the unit apart. "The Rough Rider uniform was an 1885
campaign hat (with crossed sabres insignia and
numeral 1 attached above, typical for volunteers).
A blue flannel campaign shirt was worn with
brown trousers, white suspenders with leather
ends, leggings, boots and a blue bandanna with
1/8” -1/4” white dots knotted loosely around their
necks. They carried 1896-1898 30/40 Kraig/
Jorgensen Carbines with a single or double loop
ammo belt along with a haversack and canteen.
They looked exactly as a body of cowboy cavalry
should look." It was the 'rough and tumble' appearance and charisma that contributed to earning them the title of The Rough Riders. With the
exception of Theodore Roosevelt who had
his
uniform tailored by Brooks Brothers in Boston.
The term "Rough Riders" was adapted from Buffalo Bill's famous rodeo show called "Buffalo Bill's
Wild West and Congress of Rough Riders of the
World". William Frederick Cody, better known as
Buffalo Bill, can be credited with helping to create
and preserve the dramatic myth of the Rough
Riders and American Old West. His extravaganzas glamorized it into an appealing show for Eastern U.S. audiences and helped permanently preserve the legends.
See you on the range
Clancy.

Reporting From
New South Wales Province
Well 2011 started off as a very busy and one of our NSW Single Action shooters was awarded the high
honor of Gloucester Shire Council’s Citizen of the Year 2011. Congratulations Mrs Mac on this achievement.
With the up and coming “Trans Tasman Duel Downunder” being held at my home club of Newtec,
there was plenty to do. The Fog family (Dusty, Misty and Belle Boyd) were busy writing stages, building
new facades and with myself and Jackrabbit Johnny making new targets that would make this shoot
one to remember. When February arriving we were all ready to go. There were 10 Kiwis there along
with 90+ Aussies and the game was on with four days of great shooting. Australia came out winning,
so now it is a 6 all draw, lookout next year in New Zealand.
There is already strong talk around the ranges of the amount of Aussie shooters going over to do battle
with Sudden’s gang in 2012
I attended the ninth Shootout at Billy Goat Hill held at Cowra, which started out nine years ago as a
birthday celebration and shoot for Wichita Willy. This shoot is run by a very strong Single Action club
The Cowra Cowboys and they have a growing amount of Cowgirls shooting with them. This year’s shoot
saw 72 entries with 68 shooters making it the biggest that they have had at their shoots, I would say
that the next years shoot they will have an even larger number of shooters attending. Well done Cowra
Cowboys/Cowgirls. While on Cowra I would like to wish Savage Sam and Waco Kid good luck on the
trip to the USA to compete in a couple of shoots leading up to End Of Trail. And good luck to all our
Australian shooters heading to the US.
Our next shoot in NSW will be the SASA State Titles being held at Bowral P/C and hosted by the
Quarry Brunch and held over the Queen’s Birthday weekend in June and I hope to see you all there.
I have been busy doing a few shoots out of NSW, I first attended the Dalby Easter Shoot with 137
shooters and then on to Wondai for their Qld State Titles with 126 shooters, I will be heading down to
South Australia to attend Winter Roundup traveling with Jackrabbit Johnny and Moonshine in the next
week.
Our state of NSW is still going strong with shooters taking up Single Action shooting every week and I
am getting enquires from country clubs wanting to start shooting this great match.
Until next time.
Shoot Safe, Shoot Straight and I hope you all Shoot the Match Clean.

with hammers down on a spent round. Retrieving the rifle the shooter engages the rifle targets
then restages the rifle. After re-staging the rifle the Gunfighter then retrieves the revolvers and
engages the revolver targets to complete the two revolver shooting strings. It is as simple as that.
The principle in brief is that some stages may require back to back revolver strings and others
provide a staging point between revolver shooting strings. In this way the total match can be
made Gunfighter friendly. All it takes is a little thought in stage design and available props. Easy
isn’t it?
As a footnote it can be said that with a little thought stage descriptions can literally provide
whatever it is that is desired and all of this can comply with the rules.
Well there you have it for another issue folks but please keep sending your questions to me and I will endeavor to answer them for you.
In this issue you will find a Miss Flow Chart to assist you when making hit/miss calls. Cut it out laminate
it and keep it in your gun cart for reference You will find it invaluable.
In the next issue I will deal with the nuances of overloading a rifle and the associated penalties.
Until we catch up next issue shoot straight, fast and safely.
