Virtue Flat Shootist Society

Virtue Flat Shootist Society is a Cowboy Action Shooting club formed in 2014 by co-founders Hunt Mountain Drifter (Dan McGuire) and Charlie MacNeil. Located along the Oregon Trail in Baker City, Oregon, they've built a tight-knit community around the sport—their tagline says it all: "Come for the Shooting Stay for the People."

Regular Schedule: - Second Saturday of each month, April through September - Start time: 9 AM Pacific - Location: Powder River Sportsman's Club range on Oregon Highway 86

Annual Match: - Multi-day event (15 stages over 3 days) - Recently expanded to Thursday Wild Bunch shoots in the mornings to beat the heat - 2026 marks another year of competitive Cowboy Action Shooting

The membership spans all experience levels. Profiles range from Hunt Mountain Drifter (Oregon State Frontier Cartridge Champion, NW Regional finalist) to Avalanche Amy and Glacier, who discovered the sport through YouTube and got hooked after their first local match. They also welcome juniors—Hunt Mountain Drifter's grandsons, including Driftin' Kid and Curly the Kid, are already faster than their grandfather.

"Your shooting experience or ability does not matter to us. If you are a new shooter we will help you get going." — Avalanche Amy

No experience needed. Show up, and experienced shooters will get you in the action. The club runs a welcoming environment where people dress the part and take the sport seriously, but the community aspect is what keeps members coming back.
