17 March 2026 Update

Pearl’s Post:

Howdy Folks,

Well, we have done the, “Would've, could've, should've, didn't!” We're now onto, “Bring on next year!!”, with lots of things to work on. To that end, there's a few match entry forms ready for all y'all to print and send in, so you get some more match practice.

Exciting news from End of Trail:

Another chapter ends: Next year, 2027, will be the final year that End of Trail is hosted by the Arizona Territorial Company of Rough Riders at the Ben Avery Shooting Facility in Phoenix, Arizona. From 2028 the match will return to being Winter Range, the SASS National Championships. This will be a sad farewell but is also going to be the greatest send-off match ever seen! Entries will be available from mid-August.

The next chapter: The match currently known as Land Run, hosted by the Oklahoma Territorial Marshals in Arcadia, Oklahoma, will become End of Trail in 2028, and will be held in the first week of October. Many say it's the best match on the calendar, and their Saturday night banquet and awards ceremony at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum is second to none. From a personal perspective, it's been on our bucket list, and we will finally get to Land Run, even if it is renamed End of Trail. From the perspective of an international competitor, it will be great to see even more of your wonderful country! Bring it on!!!

Hope to catch up with you on a range soon. Cheers Pearl, xx
