About Cowboy Action Shooting

EQUIPMENT AND DRESS: Eye and ear protection, 2 single-action pistols in .32-20 caliber or larger, 1 lever-action or pump-action rifle in a pistol caliber of .25-20 caliber or larger, 1 side-by-side shotgun or pre-1899 pump or lever-action shotgun (no automatic ejectors), period-appropriate holsters and shotgun belt.

AMMUNITION: 60 rounds pistol, 60 rounds rifle (lead bullets only, no gas checks, magnums or jacketed), 25+ rounds shotgun (low velocity) #5 lead shot or smaller.

DRESS: Must dress in Cowboy attire: for more details regarding equipment, attire and shooting categories please view the SASS website at www.sassnet.com.
​First time shooters are not required to dress in full cowboy attire. We just want you to come and try cowboy shooting. Once you give it a try, you'll be back for more.

SUMMARY AND COURSE OF FIRE: At least 6 timed scenarios are used at every event. A typical stage would consist of 1-10 pistol targets, 1-10 rifle targets, and 2-6 shotgun targets. Each stage will vary according to the scenario. Targets are generous sized and set at recommended SASS distances.  Each miss will add 5 seconds to your time. If you shoot the scenario out of order you will be penalized 10 seconds. If you hit a bonus target your time will be decreased by 10 seconds. Shotgun targets are usually of a knockdown variety.

RESHOOT POLICY:  We allow one reshoot per stage and two per match for gun or ammunition failures only.

All SASS (Single Action Shooting Society) rules apply.
