                   Our Story


The Trestle Valley Rangers are SASS Affiliated Cowboy Action Shooters from the

Minot Rifle Pistol Club. To get to our range travel west of Minot on U.S. Highway 2/52, go 1.3 miles past Boehm's Truck Stop and turn left, south, to go under the railroad trestle.. Our group was conceived by Two fellers that go by the names of Doc Hell and Yellowstone Vic who wanted to shoot a bit closer to home when other clubs were not shooting. Doc soon recruited Charlie Waite, another local member and soon things were going right along, with help from members of the Dakota Roughriders and the support of the Minot Rifle Pistol Club. This team work is the only way we have make it to this point, and we began meeting at local, restaurants, truck stop, and of course the gun show where a lot of ideas were discussed and plans were made.


SASS or The Single Action Shooting Society is an international organization created to preserve and promote the sport of Cowboy Action Shooting™. It promulgates rules and procedures to ensure safety and consistency in Cowboy Action Shooting matches. SASS members share a common interest in preserving the history of the Old West and competitive shooting. Cowboy Action Shooting™ is a multifaceted amateur shooting sport in which contestants compete with firearms typical of those used in the taming of the Old West: single action revolvers; lever action rifles; and side by side double barreled, pre-1899 pump, or lever action shotguns. The shooting competition is staged in a unique, characterized, Old West style. American history buffs and serious shooters alike agree the use of vintage firearms, authentic costuming, unique targets, and fast action make Cowboy Action Shooting™ one of the most interesting of all shooting sports for both spectator and contestant. You do not have to be a SASS member to be in Cowboy Action Shooting and shoot at our range but there are some marches that do require SASS membership to participate in, such as the SASS North Dakota and South Dakota State Championships hosted by the Sheyenne Valley Peacekeepers at Enderlin, ND.


This is by far the safest shooting sport you will ever encounter. Cowboy Action Shooting places fun second only to safety so bring the family for an afternoon, If you don't have guns, well there a usually a few cowboys around to help ya out. Come out and join us!
