We’ve been blessed with a number of new shooters over the last few months. We are glad to have them at Thunder River Renegades! New shooters are the lifeblood of any club.

But the Spirit of Volunteering is what keeps clubs running, and I’ve always been impressed by the many selfless cowboys and cowgirls who keep Thunder River Renegades working smoothly by their volunteer efforts.
I am humbled and honored to serve as your newly-elected president. Think back to when you first started Cowboy Action Shooting. It might have been 3 years ago or it might have been 30. How did you learn about
the sport we all love? Chances are, someone INVITED YOU. Take some time to invite someone to come shoot with us. Encourage them to participate, not just observe!
