RANGE RULES for DESPERADO CANYON The Desperado Canyon Shooting Range is an established range designed specifically for Cowboy Action Shooting. Cowboy action firearms and ammunition only on this range. The four basic firearms safety rules shall always apply. ·
Muzzle control: Never point any firearm at anything you’re not willing to shoot. ·
Trigger control: Never touch the trigger until on target and ready to shoot. ·
Mind set: Always treat guns as if they are loaded. ·
Backstop: Always know where your bullet will stop. All SASS and WBAS rules shall apply at all club function events, unless noted otherwise in the shooters safety meeting. The following rules are emphasized: This is a “COLD” range! All firearms will remain UNLOADED except while you are under the direct observation of a Range Officer. ·
All loading and unloading will be conducted ONLY in the designated areas. Please try to stay at the table until called to the firing line. ·
Shooters coming and going to the Load and Unload tables have the right of way. ·
Long guns will have their actions open immediately at the conclusion of each shooting sequence and while carried on the range, unless enclosed in a case or scabbard. ·
Handguns will be holstered except when on the firing line, at the loading or unloading tables, in a safety area, or at the shooter’s vehicle. Handguns will be re‐holstered at the conclusion of the gun’s immediate use unless the stage directions specify otherwise. ·
Eye and Ear protection MUST be worn by ALL competitors and spectators. ·
Cowboy Action Shooting matches are NOT fast‐draw competition. ANY unsafe gun handling or fanning will result in a disqualification. ·
A dropped unloaded gun is a Stage Disqualification. ·
A dropped loaded gun is a Match Disqualification. ·
Moving with a COCKED AND LOADED firearm will result in a Stage Disqualification (basketball “traveling” rules apply.) ·
Remember the 170 rule when retrieving long guns from carts. Sweeping anyone AT ANY TIME with the muzzle of a LOADED firearm will result in a Match Disqualification. Violation of the 170 degree arc with the muzzle of a UNLOADED firearm will result in a Stage Disqualification. ·
An accidental discharge impacting within 10 feet of the shooter OR in any direction deemed unsafe by the Range Officer will result in a Match Disqualification. ·
Dropped ammunition will be considered “dead” and cannot be picked up by the shooter. ·
Dry firing a firearm at the loading or unloading table is not permitted. ·
The use of drugs or alcohol will not be tolerated on this range. ·
Blatant disregard for these rules may result in you being asked to leave the Range. Pistol or rifle round over the berm is a MATCH DQ on this range.
Some of the men and women mentioned in our stage stories were Wild West lawmen. Some were outlaws. Some were both, occasionally at the same time. Some died violently, others peacefully in bed. The one common thread is that most were killers — and all were DESPERADOS! It isn’t necessary to read the stories to your posses on each stage during the match. They are for your reading pleasure as you have the time and inclination but you may enjoy learning something you didn’t already know about these fascinating, complex, sometimes vicious cowboys and cowgirls, including some of their famous last words!] STAGE CONVENTIONS

“I came here to die, not to make a speech.”
Context: Cherokee Bill was the son of a sergeant in the U.S. Army’s famed black
10th Cavalry “buffalo soldiers” and a Cherokee mother. Goldsby led a gang that
terrorized the Indian Territory for two years before he was betrayed by associates
and sentenced to execution by “Hanging Judge” Isaac Parker. In the 21 years he
presided over the federal court for the Western District of Arkansas (1875-1896),
Judge Parker tried 13,490 cases and sentenced 156 men and 4 women to hang. Of
those, 79 were actually strung up. The above quote was Cherokee Bill’s snarled
response on the gallows when asked if he had
any last words.
STAGE 1 THE MINE Pistols 5+ rounds each in holsters Rifle 10 rounds staged on ore cart Shotgun 6+ rounds staged on right tie pile Shooter starts at left tie pile with thumbs in gun belt, hands not touching guns.

Move to ore cart and engage rifle targets same as pistol. Make rifle safe; move to right tie pile and engage shotgun targets right to left till down. Missed shotgun targets may be made up in any order. JOAQUIN MURRIETA – Desperado or Mexican Patriot? 1829-1853(?)
Joaquin Murrieta was described by some as a Mexican Patriot, while others said he was
nothing but a vicious desperado responsible for cattle rustling, robberies, & murders.
Stories portrayed Murrieta as a dashing, romantic figure sworn to avenge the atrocities
committed upon his family & one who committed crimes in an effort to "right” the many
injustices against the Mexicans. Over the years, the telling of the tale continued to grow
until the Mexican outlaw began to be called the Robin Hood of El Dorado. Even today,
the tales continue of Joaquin's headless ghost riding through the old gold fields, crying
like a banshee – "Give me back my head.”
STAGE 2 WAGON Shotgun 2+ rounds staged on Box Rifle 10 rounds staged on Box Pistols 5 rounds each in holsters Shooter starts at the box with hands on the box, not touching shotgun. When ready, shooter says: “Give me back my head!” At the buzzer, engage shotgun targets, make shotgun safe. With rifle, move to campfire and engage rifle targets near to far twice, no double taps. Move to wagon, make rifle safe and engage pistol targets same as rifle. WORDS SPOKEN TO SHERIFF PAT GARRETT – By BILLY
THE KID-1881 “Quien es? Quien es?” (Who is it? Who is it?)
Context: Billy the Kid was only 21 when he said these words to a
shadowy figure that turned out to be Sheriff Pat Garrett, who shot the
Kid dead. Billy killed between 10 & 21 men during his short life as a
cowboy combatant in the Lincoln County War & later as an outlaw.
Billy the Kid was not well known outside New Mexico during his
lifetime, but became famous the next year when Garrett published a
ghost-written biography entitled “The Authentic Life of Billy, the Kid.”
STAGE 3 OUTHOUSE Rifle 10 rounds in hand Shotgun 4+ rounds staged on center table Pistol 5 rounds each holstered P/R P/R P/R P/R Shooter starts both feet inside outhouse with rifle in hand. At the buzzer, engage pistol/rifle targets with rifle from left to right in a 1, 22, 333, 4444 “ Arizona Sweep.” Move forward and make rifle safe on table then engage shotgun targets any order. Make shotgun safe on table and engage pistol/rifle targets with pistol same as rifle. BILLY THE KID (WILLIAM BONNEY)
Billy the Kid was held in a jail for 3 weeks before he was to be hanged. One of the guards
was a man named Bob Ollinger. The Kid and Ollinger shared a mutual hatred for each other.
One evening, shortly before the planned execution, the Kid managed to get Olllinger’s
shotgun and seeing Ollinger coming across the street, Billy leaned over the corner of the building
and said, coolly and pleasantly, “Hello, old fellow!” The next instant he fired and shot Ollinger
dead. After taking a second deliberate shot at Ollinger, Billy broke the gun across the railing and
threw the pieces down on Ollinger’s body. “Take that to hell with you,” he said coolly.
STAGE 4 PONY EXPRESS Shotgun 4+ Staged on right table Rifle 10 rounds staged in right window Pistol 5 rounds each in holsters Shooter begins at right table with shotgun in hand. When ready, shooter says: “Hello, Old Fellow!” At the buzzer, engage shotgun targets any order then make shotgun safe. Move to right window and engage rifle targets with 5 rounds on front rifle target and 5 rounds on 3 rear targets. Make rifle safe and engage pistol targets same as rifle. Tom (“Black Jack”) Ketchum Born 1863/Died in New Mexico 1901
“Goodbye.Bury my grave deep. All right, hurry up.”
Context: Black Jack was a train robber and member of the Hole in the
Wall Gang and engaged in numerous gunfights with posses — but he
almost certainly never killed anyone. Instead, he was sentenced to
death for the crime of “felonious assault upon a railway train” — a
punishment later found to be unconstitutional, but too late for Black
Jack. Adding insult to injury, the execution was botched and the noose
TOM
(“BLACK
ripped
Black
Jack’s JACK”)
head off KETCHUM
when he plunged through the gallows’
trap door. Black Jack’s head was sewn
back on before he was buried.
STAGE 5 WESTERN UNION DESPERADOS RAILROAD Pistols 5 rounds each in holsters Rifle 10 rounds staged on left window table Shotgun 4+ rounds staged on right window table Shooter starts at center window with hands flat on window sill.

Make rifle safe in widow then move to right window and engage shotgun targets. BELLE STARR – Leader of bandits/Female Desperado 1848-1889
"I regard myself as a woman who has seen much of life."- Belle Starr
Belle Starr was born Myra Belle Shirley in a log cabin but later lived the life
of a spoiled, rich girl. She was a bright student, with polite manners, and a
talent for playing the piano. However, she also loved the outdoors where her
older brother Bud taught her how to ride a horse and handle a gun. In 1866
Jesse and Frank James, along with the Youngers, fled to Texas, where they
met up with Myra Shirley and she became a member of their "gang.”From
1875 to 1880, Belle was the undisputed leader of a band of cattle & horse
thieves who made their headquarters in the Oklahoma Territory. On
February 3, 1889, Belle Starr was shot to death on a lonely country road.
STAGE 6 MISSION Pistols 5 rounds each staged on table in Mission doorway Rifle 10 rounds staged on table in doorway Shotgun 6+ rounds staged on table in doorway Shooter starts at table in doorway with hands on table, not touching guns. When ready, shooter says: “I’ve seen everything!” At the buzzer, engage pistol, rifle or shotgun targets with appropriate firearm. Pistol and Rifle are shot in a Rattler John sweep (left to right): 1,1,2,3,4,2,3,4,5,5. Shotgun is any order. Firearms may be shot in any order but rifle may not be shot last. WYATT EARP 1848-1929
“Suppose, suppose …”
Context: Earp was one of the Wild West’s most famous — and murderous
— lawmen/gunslingers, taming such rough cow towns as Dodge City and
Tombstone with his brothers and associates like Doc Holliday. Yet Earp was
one of the few to live to a ripe old age and die in his own bed (probably of
prostate cancer) in a small apartment in Los Angeles. During his last years,
Earp was a friend of early Western cowboy movie stars like Tom Mix and
William S. Hart. He also befriended a young bit actor (John Wayne) who
later said his conversations with Earp were the basis for the Western lawmen
he played in the movies.
STAGE 7 SHERIFF OFFICE/JAIL Pistols 5 rounds each in holsters Rifle 10 rounds staged on bed Shotgun 4+ rounds staged on desk Shooter begins in jail cell with back to targets. When ready, shooter says: “Suppose, suppose…” At the buzzer, turn and engage the pistol targets in a double tap sweep from right to left. Move to bed. Engage rifle targets same as pistol; make rifle safe on bed. Move to desk and engage shotgun targets right to left. Any shotgun targets missed may be made up in any order. MORGAN EARP Tombstone, Arizona, 1882
“I can’t see a damn thing.”
Context: Wyatt Earp’s younger brother was shot in the back while playing
pool in a Tombstone pool hall six months after the famous Gunfight at the OK
Corral. Morgan’s assassination (as his tombstone called it) was thought to be
revenge for the O.K. Corral killings. Morgan’s spine was shattered by a rifle
shot and he died within an hour. Wyatt was watching the pool game and
carried his brother to an adjoining parlor. Wyatt wrote in his memoirs that
Morgan whispered the above last words to him in reference to a conversation
brothers had earlier about whether or not a dying man would see heaven in
the
his last moments alive.
STAGE 8 TOWN HALL Shotgun 5+ rounds staged in right window Rifle 10 rounds staged in left window Pistol 5 rounds each in holsters Shooter begins at right window with hands in surrender position. When ready, shooter says: “I can’t see a thing!” At the buzzer, engage shotgun targets outside, outside, inside, inside, center. Missed shotgun targets may be made up in any order. Make shotgun safe . Move to left window and engage rifle targets outside, outside, inside, inside, center. Then center, inside, inside, outside, outside; make rifle safe. Move to doorway and engage pistol targets same as rifle. DOC HOLLIDAY – 1851-1887
I found him a loyal friend and good company. He was a dentist whom necessity
had made a gambler; a gentleman whom disease had made a vagabond; a
philosopher whom life had made a caustic wit; a long, lean blonde fellow nearly
dead with consumption and at the same time the most skillful gambler and
nerviest, speediest, deadliest man with a six-gun I ever knew." Wyatt Earp
speaking of Doc Holliday. Not one to believe in miraculous cures, but hoping that
hot springs and sulfur vapors might improve his health, Doc headed for Glenwood
Springs in May, 1887. However, he grew steadily worse & on Nov. 8, 1887, he
awoke clear-eyed and asked for a glass of whiskey. It was given to him & he drank it
down
with enjoyment. Then, looking down at his bare feet, he said, "This is funny,"
& died. He always figured he would die with
his boots on.
STAGE 9 THE BANK Rifle 10 rounds staged on far left window Pistol 5 rounds each holstered Shotgun 4+ rounds on far right window $$ BANK R S Shooter starts at far left window, hands on window frame shoulder high. When ready, shooter says: “This is funny…” At the buzzer, engage rifle targets in a Badger sweep from the left: 1, 2,3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 1; make rifle safe. Move to doorway and engage pistol targets same as rifle. Move to far right window and engage shotgun targets. BIG NOSE KATE – Mary Katherine Horony 1850-1940
"Big Nose” Kate was a dance hall girl and prostitute. She was tough, stubborn, and hot
tempered. When Doc Holliday was arrested,"Big Nose” Kate devised a plan to free Doc .
Setting a fire to an old shed, it began to burn rapidly, threatening to engulf the entire town.
As everyone else was fighting the fire, she confronted the officer guarding Holliday with
a pistol in each hand, disarmed the guard and the two escaped.
Doc so appreciated what Kate did for him, he gave up gambling & hung up his doctor’s
shingle once again. In return, Kate promised to give up her life of prostitution and stop
hanging about the saloons. However, Kate couldn’t stand the quiet and boredom of
respectable living as Doc’s common-law wife. Consequently, the two split up, as they
were destined to do many times during the remainder of Doc's life.
STAGE 10 BATH HOUSE AND BROTHEL Rifle 10 rounds on bath house window table Shotgun 3+ rounds on center table Pistols 5 rounds each in holsters Shooter starts at bath house with hands on hat. When ready, shooter says: “I’m bored!” At the buzzer, engage rifle targets (left to right): 1, 2,2,2,2,3,3,3,3,3; make rifle safe. Move to shotgun and engage shotgun targets any order; make shotgun safe. Move into brothel and engage pistol targets same as rifle. BAT MASTERSON 1853-1921
“There are those who argue that everything breaks even in this old dump of a
world of ours. I suppose these ginks who argue that way hold that because the rich
man gets ice in the summer and the poor man gets it in the winter things are
breaking even for both. Maybe so, but I’ll swear I can’t see it that way.”
Context: Masterson was born in Quebec but moved to the U.S. at a young age. He was
a friend and colleague of the Earp brothers. After a long career as buffalo hunter,
lawman and gambler in the West, Masterson was appointed a deputy U.S. marshal in
New York City in 1908 by his friend, U.S. President Teddy Roosevelt. Later,
Masterson became a fulltime newspaper columnist for the New York Morning
Telegraph. Masterson was found dead of a heart attack, slumped over his typewriter in
the Morning Telegraph offices in 1921 with the above words on the sheet of paper in
his typewriter. His last column was published posthumously.
STAGE 11 DICK’S LIVERY Shotgun 4+ rounds at left table in hand Rifle 10 rounds staged on right table Pistols 5 rounds each holstered P/R P/R Shooter starts with both feet behind left table shotgun in hand. When ready, shooter says: “I can’t see it that way!” At the buzzer, engage shotgun targets any order; make shotgun safe on table ( muzzle direction toward left berm) then move to right table. Engage pistol\rifle targets with rifle: 1, 2, 1, 2,2, 1, 2,2,2, 1. Make rifle safe on table (muzzle direction toward right berm). Move down range to marker and engage pistol\rifle targets with pistols same as rifle. WILLIAM TATTENBAUM – Desperado or Nobleman? 18??-1881
William Tattenbaum (known as Russian Bill) was a colorful character,
prone to tall tales. He dressed like a “dandy” and carried fancy pistols.
He spoke 4 languages & could discuss art, literature and science but most
people put little stock in his claims that he was the son of a wealthy
Russian aristocrat, the Countess Telfrin. Russian Bill hooked up with the
Clanton Gang but was obviously not a talented thief. He was caught redhanded rustling cattle and he & his friend were tried by a vigilance
committee and were hanged. Some people were upset that the seemingly
harmless
and amusing man had met such a cruel fate. 2 years later, they
would be even more upset when a gentleman, acting on behalf of Countess
Telfrin from Russia, showed up in Tombstone looking for her long-lost
was told that her son had died by
son, William Tattenbaum. The Countess
suicide, sparing her the grizzly facts of his death.
STAGE 12 CEMETERY Rifle 10 rounds staged on left table Pistol 5 rounds each holstered Shotgun 4 + rounds staged on right table Shooter starts at left table with hands on pistol or pistols. When ready, shooter says: “Who’s Russian Bill?” At the buzzer, engage rifle targets left to right: 1,1,2,2, 3, 5,5, 4,4, 3.
