The Rattlesnake Gulch Rangers was founded by Iver Johnson (SASS NO.  12673) aka Alphonse Gold Hat Bedoya, in June 1996.  Our range is located in the gulch at the base of Rattlesnake Mountain in Benton County, Washington, hence our name.  Iver Johnson has been our Mayor ever since and currently is the Vice-President of the club.   In the beginning, Iver Johnson was solely responsible for all aspects of running the range.  Over the years the club has grown and is now the host club for the SASS Northwest Regional  Championship held on the last weekend of September each year,  and the SASS Washington State Black Powder Shoot Out held  generally on the second weekend of April each year (Easter permitting).  Presently Iver is responsible for building and or maintaining most of the props we have accumulated over the years.   He  helps  govern the annual matches. 

The current President and/or Sheriff of Rattlesnake Gulch is Payden Gold, SASS No. 37714.   He is our current board representative with Tri-Cities Shooting Association and is responsible for Facilities Management for our Cowboy Action Club.  In addition, he helps govern  annual matches.  

Our  current Secretary/Treasurer or Banker for Rattlesnake Gulch is Ricochet Robbie, SASS No. 8775L.  Robbie is responsible for  all administrative matters for the club and helps govern the annual matches.  She is the acting Assistant Match Director for the SASS Northwest Regional and the SASS Washington State Black Powder Shootout.
