2016 RCSC Shootout Prize Table

 

Whew, what a weekend!! We’re genuinely overwhelmed with praise for the 2nd Annual River City Shootout by MGM, and have thoroughly enjoyed all the videos and photos shared by our competitors. We put a lot of love into this match, and to know that everyone had such a great time made everything worth it!! YOU ALL are why we’re here – THANK YOU!! We are literally still catching our collective breaths, and digesting all of the constructive comments on how to make this match even better next year – and you can bet there’s going to be a next year!! We have some amazing match sponsors and we can’t thank them enough for all they have done to promote the Shootout and encourage match participation through their generous donations: MGM, Walther, Lone Star Innovations, Akai Custom Guns, On Your 6 Designs, Backwater Shooters, EMG Customs, Alamo Tactical (if you didn’t take your picture with or lay hands on that STI you were the only one). Monarch Trophy should be mentioned as well, they didn’t donate the trophies, but they bent over backwards to help RCSC shine with beautiful awards and break-neck turn around. Last but not least, Shiseido!! The ladies were out en force covering the shooters with skin care on Saturday, and left a generous package for the Shootout raffle. The shooters loved and needed their product all weekend though, so instead of raffling to some we made sunscreen available to all and it was a welcome treat. Thank you all again, for everything!!

NOW AWARDS!! If you haven’t already heard, please check out the list of trophy and raffle winners!! We couldn’t have wished for a more worthy bunch of recipients. To all the trophy winners, CONGRATULATIONS!! You all turned in a top-notch effort and it paid off. To all the raffle winners, CONGRATULATIONS!! We appreciate you in so many ways, and are grateful to be able to provide, on behalf of the sponsors, prizes to show our appreciation for your support of the Shootout!!

The River City Shooters Club would like to thank EVERYONE who helped make the River City Shootout a HUGE success!

We have a fantastic group of team members and friends of the club, who tirelessly worked the match both last weekend setting up and this weekend doing everything from running squads to running errands. Without your help this match wouldn’t have happened. A special thanks to Danny Garza, Robert Powell, and Forrest McCord who drove in from out of town to help RO the match – Thank You!!

We’re grateful to our match sponsors. The gift of your donations, IN EXCESS OF $5,500., helped to attract shooters and made the reward of participation oh so sweet!! Your GENEROUS sponsorship enabled us to BRING IT in every way – THANK YOU!!

We’d like to encourage everyone to visit our match sponsors and thank them personally, both with your words and your wallet. We are proud to endorse their products and services, not just because of their generosity, but because WE use them and we know you’re in for a first rate experience!!

Alamo Tactical                        Walther                             Precision Delta

Most of all, thank you to all of our shooters!! We enjoyed the company of old friends and new ones, you are a great group of athletes; safe, professional, helpful and courteous, a testament to the joy of shooting sports everywhere, and the sole reason any of us do this. Without you we wouldn’t be here, and neither would our sponsors – THANK YOU!!

These are some photos from the match, courtesy of Rick Medina. We are grateful for his coverage of this and other events; if you’re ever in need of an experienced and talented photographer/videographer be sure to check out Chozen1Media.com, his work speaks for itself. Enjoy!!

Lastly, thank you, Kyle Riojas! You had a vision and you brought it to life; engaging stage designs, securing match sponsors, and fun and fair participation for all. You went out of your way as Match Director to make sure that everyone had what they needed and had a great time. People left talking about “River City Shootout 2016” and that’s the best compliment of all. For everything you’ve done and continue to do – THANK YOU!

Glock Sport Shooting Foundation Match – Oct 17-18

GSSF webpage cover photo

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!”
