California Rangers is a SASS-affiliated cowboy action shooting club and follows SASS rules. Matches are scored by "total time." The club also provides an "Open" category that will allow a shooter to follow the requirements of different shooting categories for different stages. If you want to shoot a stage or two as a "Gunfighter" or "Duelist" but not commit to that style for the entire match, sign up under the "Open" category.
The club provides a "New Shooter Orientation" to help new CAS shooters understand the safety rules and requirements for SASS participation. The class will cover dress code, ammunition and firearms, scoring, safety and gun handling and typical shooting scenarios. Contact our Territorial Governor, Jimmy Frisco at jimcaudle54@gmail.com for more information.
A Brief History of the California Rangers
The club was named in honor of a group of the same name, best known for capturing and killing the legendary bandit Joaquin Murieta. On May 11, 1853, California Governor John Bigler authorized a band of California Rangers under the command of Captain Harry Love. Their purpose? To capture or kill the infamous bandito Joaquin Murieta, ringleader of a gang of men believed to be responsible for much of the cattle rustling, robberies, and murders taking place in the Mother Lode region. In July of 1853, the Rangers came across the group of bandits near Arroyo Cantúa in San Benito County. Two of the banditos were killed by the Rangers. The Rangers cut off the hand of one and the head of the other. The Rangers claimed that the head belonged to the infamous Joaquin Murieta!
