Remember when you played “cowboy” with your friends? Remember the “fun and silly” things you did?

Welcome to the Mississippi River Rangers website. As you can see we are a SASS Single Action Shooting Club. In April 1997 MRR became the 59th SASS affiliated club. Today there are more than 500 clubs around the world. Our range is located in Byhalia, MS 35 miles southeast of Memphis, TN.
In 2003 the Mississippi River Rangers were the first recipient of the SASS Wooly Award as the Best Affiliated Club. In 2006 we were honored again as the first two time winner of the award.
The Rangers shoot the 4th Saturday and 5th Saturday (when there is one) of every month rain or shine, hot or cold. Registration begins at 8 a.m. and closes at 9 a.m. Shooter’s meeting begins at 9:30 a.m. which you must attend if you are going to shoot. Match fee is $15 (buckaroos shoot free).
Shooters safety is of paramount importance to MRR.
Ear protection is required as is eye protection which must be either wrap around glasses or have side shields.
Both ear plugs and side shields are available when you sign in.
MRR follows the guidelines listed in the SASS Handbook, RO1 and RO2 manuals.
Any exceptions will be covered in stage instructions or by the posse leaders.
There will be no surprises.
