What is cowboy action shooting?  Cowboy Action Shooting is about having lots of safe fun.

At a typical Cowboy shoot, most ranges are set up to shoot between five and seven stages in one day. The stages are set up to simulate a different old west shoot out scenario. Each time you go to a Cowboy shoot, the scenarios change. One time you might be at the O.K. Corral shooting it out with the Clantons and McLowerys. The next time you go, you may have to get on a saddled wooden horse, rifle in scabbard, sixgun in hand and shoot your way out of an ambush. The targets you shoot are usually steel plates. Guns are loaded at a designated loading area set up next to each stage. An appointed range safety person supervises the loading of all guns prior to the contestant shooting that stage. Unloading is done in the same manner.

The guns that are used are the same type your great-great grandfather (or maybe great-great grandmother) may have used. Single Action revolvers, double barrel shotguns and lever action rifles (chambered in a pistol caliber) are guns most often used in these matches.

Oh yeah, one of the most important rules is come dressed as a cowboy. Come join in on the fastest growing shooting sport. You'll have one heck of a great time and meet some of the nicest folks around.
