If you have to be out and about this weekend please stear clear of low water crossings, as you all know they can be swift and deadly in So. Texas!!

The countdown continues… in less than 15 days the Blackhawk Shooting Range will proudly sponsor the GSSF match, hosted by the River City Shooters Club!!
“The GLOCK Sport Shooting Foundation is a safe, fun, family-oriented organization devoted to the responsible use of GLOCK firearms and encouraging participation in the shooting sports. Competitions, across the United States, provide opportunities for shooters of all skill levels and experience to compete together in simple, but challenging courses of fire. GSSF does not require the expensive equipment and extensive training often demanded by most other types of firearms competitions.
Started in 1991, GSSF has grown to include almost 100,000 members and now organizes more than 40 outdoor and over 210 indoor shooting matches each year—an unprecedented number. Almost anyone can join GSSF, but if you want to participate in a sanctioned sport shooting match, the only requirement is that you must compete with a GLOCK pistol. The only other requirement is that all of our competitors have fun! So we make that more of a “sure thing” by rewarding cash prizes, and GLOCK pistols, in multiple categories.
There are usually only two facial expressions observed at every match—aiming and smiling. Bring the whole family out to just one GSSF competition and you’re all likely to leave hooked!”

8/18/15 UPDATE: “Nathan’s memorial service will be this Saturday, August 22 at 3:00 pm at Porter Loring Mortuary Sanctuary – 2102 North Loop 1604 East, San Antonio, TX, 78232. There will also be a burial on Monday, August 24 at Laurel Land Funeral Home in Dallas, but that time has not been set yet.”
****************************************************
This morning the River City Shooters Club mourns the loss of one of our own. Retired Officer Nathan Murray passed away quietly at 10:00 pm last night, due to complications from cancer and a recent bout with pneumonia.
As many of you know, Nate was wounded on while on duty in 2003, along with 3 other officers; shot while on his knees tending to one of his wounded brothers in blue. The shot shattered his jaw, and damaged an artery that, 20 months later, caused a stoke leaving him paralyzed with partial brain damage.
Nate was fond of saying, “you have to accept it because that’s just the way it is, you work with the cards the way they’ve been dealt.” Nathan never recovered from his injuries and for the last 12 years Nate has lived that motto, inspiring everyone around him, with his tireless hard work in recovery, tenacity, love and sense of humor; active with his church, shooting matches when he was able, and attending police events – refusing to give up the life he loved, and lived, and fought for every day.
Funeral service information will be shared when arrangements have been made. Our hearts go out to his family, please keep them in your prayers.
Officer Nathan Murray, once a servant of the people of San Antonio, is now a servant for God. Your watch is over, Sir, rest in peace.
**************************************************
We are overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support shown by his family and friends in social media, and by friends of the range offering sympathies and kind words for his family and teammates. We are so very grateful. Your posts have been a blessing to all who have read, thank you. These are but a few of the photos shared across the internet, we credit his family, friends and those that loved him most for sharing these touching memories. Nate, you are so, so loved. You will live on in the hearts of every life you touched.
MATCH FINAL UPDATE:
Many thanks to everyone who shared their sunny Sunday with us, 57 of Texas’ finest shooters showed us how it’s done! Special congratulations to all the division winners – as always, we thank you for supporting RCSC, and shooting sports in Texas. Have a GREAT week y’all!
