Torrance snares huge
cowboy shooting event

By Kevin Bean

At least 1,500 participants and potentially millions of dollars will ride into Torrance County next May when the Single Action Shooting Society moves its annual Old West extravaganza from California to a ranch in northeastern Torrance County.
The California-based international shooting organization, created to “preserve and promote the sport of Cowboy Action Shooting,” is relocating its annual flagship event from just outside Norco, Calif., to a 480-acre parcel it bought on Juan Tomas Road between N.M. 217 and Barton Road.
End of Trail, described by the organization as the world championship of Cowboy Action Shooting, is a five-day event tentatively scheduled for the first weekend in May 2005.
The Torrance County Commission has issued a permanent conditional use permit for End of Trail and other events.
According to the SASS website (www.sassnet.com), the just-completed 2004 End of Trail attracted more than 25,000 spectators and competitors.
Ken Amorosano, SASS marketing director and board member, said this year’s event had an economic impact of $5 million to $7 million.
Amorosano said that while no decision had been made about whether next year’s event would be open to the general public, he was confident at least 1,500 to 2,500 people would participate.
End of Trail features hundreds of costumed participants from all over the world competing in individual, two-man and five-man fantasy shooting scenarios based on historic events, western movies and TV. Using authentic or replica Old West handguns and rifles, they compete for bragging rights as top gun handler, precision shooter or “fastest gun in the west.”
The event will also feature riding contests, a Wild West show, celebrity competitions, music and dancing.
In addition to End of Trail, SASS will stage at least three more events as well as hold a series of shooting schools.
To accommodate all this activity, the group plans to construct roads and parking for 800 RVs and several thousand cars. Long-term plans include permanent buildings.
A western town will be constructed on the site for shooting competitions, and long-term plans include permanent toilets and showers.
Construction is expected to begin shortly, according to Torrance County officials.
The Torrance County planner, Doug Johnston, said SASS members had discussed their proposal with the county Planning and Zoning Commission and County Commission, and that the group has “the money and the wherewithal to develop it the way they want it.”
Johnston said the event would require coordination with the Sheriff’s Department, area businesses and others to manage the thousands of visitors expected to descend on the area, but that it’s not “anything we can’t handle.”
The Norco city clerk, Debra McNay, however, cautioned that management of the large number of participants, vehicles, guns, food vendors and exhibitors requires extensive traffic control, lighting and safety regulations.
“The nature of the thing is that it’s going to require a little more than coordination,” McNay said. “It’s going to need a lot of regulation.”
Amorosano said SASS had been looking for some time for a new location to hold the End of Trail event to get away from southern California’s congestion and crime. “Most importantly,” he said, “SASS was in need of developing a site where we could invest permanently in a facility that is secure, safe and has no restriction on growth.”
Amorosano said the group settled on Torrance County after deciding “our mission, outlook and way of life would be in harmony with those of the community.” He said Torrance County had opened its arms to SASS, and that SASS in turn will “support the town, its people, and its children.”
SASS national headquarters will remain in Yorba Linda, Calif.
SASS members didn’t know of the planned relocation of the End of Trail event until last week, and government officials in Norco didn’t know until contacted by The Independent.
Amorosano said the group had not publicized the relocation until now because it didn’t want to distract attention from the just-completed 2004 End of Trail.
 
Wow!!!! That's gonna be something!!!! I can see where it will be a huge benefit to the county but I don't know that I would want it so close to me. The traffic at least once a year is gonna be horrendous ainnit?
 
The world became a better place when you were born....all those many many many many many years ago ! (of course, there were a LOT fewer people then, so it wasn't all that hard to raise the average.) :D

I think shooting active cowboys is illegal. Investigate before you participate.

Aw Kis, you spoilin all da fun. All of my hero's killed cowboys, and some ndns.:p :D ;)
I generally say, "Custer died for your sin's." But that doesn't apply to the people on this forum. The ones that ain't pagan are close enough.:D
 
If it ain't too late, LCS, have a great birthday. If it is, hope you had a good one.
 
Thanks one and all. Went up and down the ladder fixin my AC too many times for 67. Carried tools etc up in a bucket, but still had to go up and down a few times. Hell, getting older, mind you didn't say old. Must think young, no matter what.
Great bunch of guys and gals on the HI Forum.
 
Danny, I have 3 Chitlangi and 1 Chainpuri. That is enough. I've been collecting K's for a couple of years now. Think I have most that will fit my hand and a few that don't. Have a few HI swords, also. I treasure my collection and my users. Think last time I checked over 107, close to a record from HI. Think two are not HI.
