Cops & Cowboys 2020 Match Postponed

Texas Republic Ranches Legacy Foundation

To Competitors, Sponsors and Friends of the Annual Cops & Cowboys Shootout!!!

With reluctance and a bit of sadness directors of Texas Republic Ranches Legacy Foundation and officers of Tejas Caballeros Cowboy Shooting Club have determined to postpone the scheduled May 30 2020 Cops & Cowboys Shootout.

In this uncertain time of global concern over the Covid-19 pandemic the hosting organizations concluded that continuing with the shooting sport competition on May 30 would be ill advised.

The annual shooting competition between regional law enforcement officers using modern semiautomatic pistols, rifles and shotguns and old west cowboy action shooting enthusiasts using 1800s era revolvers, lever rifles and shotguns has become an entertaining and enthusiastically supported event. The competition is financially supported by multiple area business organizations and private citizens. Economic proceeds of the event are contributed to the Hill Country 100 Club with its sole purpose of supporting the families of first responders injured or killed in their line of duty.

The Cops & Cowboys Shootout is customarily scheduled on a 5th Saturday to not compete with other shooting clubs that offer regularly scheduled shooting competitions on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Saturdays of every month. Remaining 5th Saturdays in 2020 are August 29 and October 31.

Providing federal, state and local governments have given a travel and assembly clearance at least 90 days prior to the August 29 or October 31 dates in 2020 the hosting organizations may reschedule the Cops & Cowboys competition later in 2020.

Thank you all for your understanding and continued support.

Purpose of the Foundation

Texas Republic Ranches Legacy Foundation

Polly’s Chapel – 1882

The Texas Republic Ranches Legacy Foundation (TRR) endeavors to keep alive the enduring principles of love of God, family and country, independence, freedom and liberty that motivated early Texas ranchers and honed the skills necessary for them to carve homes and communities out of open wilderness.

 

Announcing the Texas Republic Ranches Legacy Foundation

Texas Republic Ranches Legacy Foundation

Ladies and Gentlemen – Cowboy Action Shooters
There is a new 501(c)(3) charitable organization, the Texas Republic Ranches Legacy Foundation (TRRLF), dedicated to preserving the legends and legacy of the hardy and resourceful folk who settled the open land of the Texas Hill Country at a time when the maps  labelled the area as “Unexplored Indian Territory.”

The Foundation endeavors to keep alive the enduring principles of love of God, family and country, independence, freedom and liberty that motivated early Texas ranchers and honed the skills necessary for them to carve homes and communities out of open wilderness.  The weapons of the Old West were a critical part that legacy as they were used to put food on the table and to defend the settlers from numerous threats including Native American Indian raids and other attacks.

The TRRLF is a charitable entity whose goals include preserving the history of these early weapons and the people who shot them while encouraging people to learn about them and to shoot them today. This is done by supporting a variety of shooting sports activities.
The Foundation offers a way to make a tax deductible contribution to an organization that will award financial grants to organizations for range safety and improvement, establishing gun safety programs, encouraging youth shooting by Scouts, 4-H, FFA and other youth organizations, and generally supporting the history of early Texas settlers. It is a way to keep their memory and principles alive.

The TRRLF’s Board Members are: Thomas Pollock (Judge Menday Coming), Rita Pollock (Margo Rita), Janet Hauber (Jacie Lane), Glenn Jordan (Farr Ranger), W. Bret Garner (Cowboy Small) and David H. Donaldson, Jr. (Dragon Hill Dave). All hard-working devotees of Cowboy Action Shooting in Central Texas.

The TRRLF is now offering the opportunity for tax exempt groups to apply for monetary grants from the Foundation for programs that support its goals.
