Join Us for the Ninth Annual Wyoming Governor’s Match July 2025

 

CHEYENNE, Wyo. – April 9, 2025 – With the support of Governor Mark Gordon’s Office, the Wyoming Office of Outdoor Recreation and Casper Shooters Club are thrilled to host the ninth annual Wyoming Governor’s Match, presented by Vortex Optics. The event will occur from July 18-20, 2025, at the Stuckenhoff Shooters Complex in Casper, Wyoming.

 

“Since I took office, I have looked forward to attending the Wyoming Governor’s Match every summer, and it’s exciting to see interest in the match remains high,” said Governor Mark Gordon. “The event is a great opportunity to spotlight Wyoming’s commitment to the Second Amendment and to welcome some of the nation’s best shooters to our state.” 

 

After nine years, it has become a tradition for many to experience some of the nation’s greatest competitive shooters interacting with spectators, shooting sports organizations, legislators, and other elected officials of Wyoming. 

 

The Match welcomes public participation and attracts hundreds of competitors and spectators, boosting Wyoming's local and state economies through increased travel and tourism spending. 

 

This year, the USPSA Level II match will feature up to 250 competitors challenged with twelve stages, including a chronograph with a minimum round count of 400. Participation numbers are trending higher than in previous years, with over 200 competitors already signed up.

 

Registration is currently open on Practiscore. Adult competitor entry fees are $195.00, and junior competitor entry fees are $95.00. Those interested in competing may register online. All attendees and competitors must wear ear and eye protection at the Match. 

 

“The Office of Outdoor Recreation and other match organizers are eager to give visitors and residents of Wyoming another high-level match,” states Frances Schaetz, outreach coordinator for the Wyoming Office of Outdoor Recreation. “None of it could be possible without the local and state partners who continue to support this event.”

 

In addition to the Match, match organizers and local organizations are planning various events throughout the weekend to showcase Wyoming’s outdoor recreation economy, including the third annual Wyoming Firearms & Outdoor Recreation Expo at David Street Station in downtown Casper.

 

The Expo will take place on Saturday, July 19, from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and is free and open to the public. Attendees can visit vendor booths featuring Wyoming’s top industry leaders, enjoy meals from local food trucks, participate in family-friendly activities, and more.
