Hiram's Rangers
Home of Masonic Western Action Shooters
In the times that we interpret, there may have been a higher percentage of Masons than there are today. But in those times people did not travel to seek recreation like we do today. Since most of the brothers we know are local, and most of those we shoot with are not, we often pass by our fellow Masons without even realizing it. Other groups have Masonic recognition associations: fur trade re-enactors have the Beaver Lodge, Masonic motorcycle riders have the Widow's Sons.
I believe the time has come for Hiram's Rangers, a group of western action shooters with Masonic affiliation. Becoming a Hiram's Ranger is much like becoming a Mason, you will need to request admission. In order to be a Hiram's Ranger you will need to be a Master Mason, show your Blue Lodge dues card and give the pass and token of the pass of a Master Mason. To receive the degree you must be a western action shooter, be clad in 19th century clothing, and preferably be attending an event associated with western action shooting. Upon receiving the degree, you will receive the sign, the word, and the grip of a Hiram's Ranger. You will also be approved to wear the badge of the Hiram's Rangers, therein able to be recognized by fellow Rangers. You will also be able to bring other brothers into our fraternity in like manner. Being a Hiram's Ranger will hopefully allow us to show our pride in being Master Masons while participating in our favorite pastime, maybe interest another good man in Masonry, or interest a good Mason in western action shooting.
As Hiram's Rangers grows, we will undoubtedly find other worthwhile goals. If you are a proud Master Mason and a proud member of the western action shooting community and would like to be a Hiram's Ranger, contact a Ranger in your area. If you don't know any, contact me.
