What is Cowboy Action Shooting?

Cowboy Action Shooting is a timed competition using firearms typical of those used in the Old West:

• Single-action revolvers (commonly .38 Special or .45 Colt)
• Lever-action rifles chambered for handgun calibers (minimum 10-round capacity)
• Shotguns such as side-by-side double barrels (no ejectors), Winchester Model 1897 pump-action, or Winchester 1887/1900 lever-action shotguns

We primarily shoot steel targets, though paper targets may occasionally be used.

If you don’t yet have the proper equipment, some members are happy to loan equipment so you can give it a try.

The Experience

Each shoot features themed stages based on Old West scenarios, historical events, or classic movie scenes. Competitors move through timed stages, testing accuracy, speed, and safe gun handling.

Period dress – cowboy hats, boots, and western attire – is strongly encouraged and adds greatly to the fun.
