SCCSFA April Cowboy

April 25 @ 2:00 pm - 7:00 pm

NOT A SASS sanctioned match but in the spirit of;
Cowboy Action Shooting Event on the 75-yard range.
Cowboy Action Shooting (CAS) is a sport where competitors fire cowboy era rifles, pistols and shotguns at metal targets.
For this season, CAS will be held every 4th Saturday of the month from March to October, weather permitting.
Members and guests sign-up is on the day of the shoot at the range. Members pay $5.00 and guest pay $10.00.
Shooting will start at 10:00 with assisting with the set-up at 9:00 am. and a safety meeting at 9:45
The Cowboy Action event is an interactive sport where shooters help with scoring, spotting, and timing when they are not shooting. Additionally, help is needed to tare down. The event coordinator would appreciate shooters arriving by 9:30 shooting starts at 10am.
You will need two single action revolvers with a holster. A lever action rifle chambered in a pistol caliber, 38 Special, 357 Magnum, 45 Auto or Long Colt cartridge, etc… and a tubular magazine for loading 8 to 10 rounds. Additionally, a western style double-barrel shotgun is needed. Alternatively, a Winchester Model 1897 can be used.
You will also need to wear Jeans, a long sleeve western shirt, cowboy boots or equivalent, and a cowboy hat. Safety glasses and hearing protection are mandatory.
If you’re missing one of the above firearms, we will try to connect you with a shooter that will lend you what you need when it’s your turn to shoot.
A gun cart is handy but new shooters might ask someone with a cart to share. We will also have a table near the loading bench so you can store your firearms there.
We recommend 2 boxes of pistol caliber ammo for your revolver and rifle., LEAD BULLETS ONLY, and 1 box of shotgun shells (25 rounds) low brass, light loads, with no larger than #7 1/2 shot.
