TO BE DETERMINED DEPENDING ON CONDITIONS:
In previous years Camp fires were permitted in the camping area but ONLY in a portable fire pit. We are not sure about this year yet. The policy LAST YEAR was:
Fires must be in a container that holds fire off the ground.
Must have a screen / spark arrestor above the fire.
Area beneath the fire unit must be cleared of grass, debris etc. Please be safe & responsible!

 

Montego would be happy to repair any website issues

  1. we need some help resetting some targets that were moved, maybe 3 or 4 stages, help would be appreciated

  2. Welp, its over and done. And once again I had the time of my life !! Great shoot . . . I think Bonny Kate would have agreed if she had not had the squib -ouch- (which I loaded :<{( ). Hot, yes. Windy, yes. Dusty, yes. Best PEOPLE ever, YES!! What ever replaces this event in the future . . . COUNT ME/US IN !!!!

    My thanks to the good people that made this possible……….

  3. Great shoot, Great Food, Great company!! All around a fantastic job as always by 5 Dogs.

    So… where’s the scores??? :-)

  4. Utah et.al.
    I have appreciated everything at 5 Dogs for the past three years. Although I missed the first anorexic dog on stage 11, the stages were great. I even liked wind blowing the dirt in my face; it made the shooting more authentic as it was in the old west. While it will be a challenge to duplicate your efforts next year at Diamond Dicks Cowboy Town, we will attempt, under the guidance of Sutter Lawman, to provide the service that every vaquero deserves. Thanks again.

  5. There is a food vendor. They serve breakfast, lunch and Thursday night dinner. Very reasonably priced.

  6. Thank you, after I sent you an email half hour ago, I realize I hadn’t thanked you and the entire club for all the hard work you put in over the last 15 years putting on one of the finest examples of a state championship that I have ever seen. I want to thank you and the whole Five Dogs Gang and let you know that it really was one of the highlights of my year to share that three or four days with you and all of your members who always made me feel like part of the club even though I only see you once a year. u will be missed and whoever takes over the role of host for the state championship will have big shoes to fill indeed!
    A heartfelt thanks from Monterey Kid. Dale Allen

  7. Wichita Bell I understand that the 2016 State Championship will be held at Diamond Dick’s Cowboy (near Sacramento) April 28 thru May 1,2016. I understand info coming out soon as caters confirmed and a cost determined……Limpy

  8. Reply to Wichita Belle. We are so glad you have enjoyed coming to our club. I am sure there will be an annual match next year, but it won’t be the State Championships. We have enjoyed hosting the State Championship for the past 15 years but thought it was time to pass the torch to another club.

  9. Deja Vous and I will be there this year! And we will be camping…..
    It’s been WAY too long!
    AND we get stay at the range cuz we are bringing our trailer, the Bella Union…..

    YYYYIIIIPPPPEEEEE!

  10. Well, do we have a shooters list for 2015 to replace the one showing 2014 ??

  11. Just read Jim Bean’s comment about this being the last year for the CA State at 5 Dogs. We have really enjoyed our time at 5 Dogs each year and will truly miss being there. Where will the match be in 2016?

  12. Im saddened to hear this is our last California State Championship hosted by 5 Dogs..great range and best of all great people…And i have to miss it due to work. ; (

  13. Running with the Big Dogs uses the same SASS legal guns that would be used in the main match. It requires the shooter to engage pistol targets for 10 rounds and four plus shotgun targets. The rifle targets are a “moving dog” that rotates about 180 degrees on a track in both directions and passes by stacked hay bales on its way across the front berm. There is a Road Runner that also goes back and forth in front of the dog; the Road Runner cannot be hit.

  14. Did Christine’s question get answered?? I would offer and answer . . . but I don’t have one……… Limpy

  15. What does the side match, Running with the Big Dogs, entail? Specifically what guns are used?
