| The cowboy action matches are held second Saturday of each month at the
Zia range, and the third Saturday and fourth Sunday
of each month at the City Shooting Range Park.
SASS rules will be followed. Shooters are requested to show up at Noon to assist in setting up the courses of fire to begin shooting at 1PM. Further information can be obtained by contacting "Rancid Roy" at telephone number (505) 898-4894. The Cowboy Action matches are guided by the rules of the Single Action Shooting Society. To get more information about the Single Action Shooting Society, visit www.sassnet.com Cowboy Action Shooting is a multifaceted shooting sport in which contestants compete with firearms typical of those used in the taming of the Old West: single action revolvers, lever action rifles, and double barreled, side by side, pre-1899 pump, or lever action shotguns. The shooting competition is staged in a unique, characterized, "Old West" style. Contestants shoot in several one- to four-gun stages (courses of fire) in which they engage reactive steel and cardboard silhouette targets. Scoring is based on accuracy and speed. The truly unique aspect of Cowboy Action Shooting is the requirement placed on authentic period or western screen dress. Each participant is required to adopt a shooting alias appropriate to a character or profession of the late 19th century, or a Hollywood western star, and develop a costume accordingly. American history buffs and serious shooters alike agree the use of vintage firearms, authentic costuming, unique targets, and fast action make Cowboy Action Shooting one of the most interesting of all shooting sports for both spectator and contestant. |
Safety is not just the Number One Issue, It is THE MORAL ISSUE! |
