MSB started in late 2003, when several residents of Lea County met at a house in Lovington, New Mexico to discuss the formation of a new Cowboy Action Shooting Club. With the help of members of the Seven Rivers Regulators CAS club in Carlsbad, New Mexico, the MSB club was formed and officially began holding monthly matches in 2004 at the Hobbs Gun Club Range in Hobbs, New Mexico. The matches were initially held on the fourth Sunday of each month. In 2007, the match day was changed to the fourth Saturday of each month, which is the current schedule. Monthly matches are held year round. Also, the MSB club hosts a multi day annual match on the fourth weekend of April each year
