Cowboy Action Shooting

The Single Action Shooting Society (SASS) is an international organization created to preserve and promote the sport of Cowboy Action Shooting (CAS). SASS endorses regional matches conducted by affiliated clubs. The World Championship of Cowboy Action Shooting promulgates rules and procedures to ensure safety and consistency in Cowboy Action Shooting matches, and seeks to protect its members' 2nd Amendment rights. SASS members share a common interest in preserving the history of the Old West and competitive shooting.


OLD WEST ALIAS AND COSTUMES


One of the unique aspects of SASS approved Cowboy Action Shooting is the requirement placed on costuming. Each participant is required to adopt a shooting alias appropriate to a character or profession of the late 19th century, a Hollywood western star or an appropriate character from fiction. Your costume is then developed accordingly. Many event participants gain more enjoyment from the costuming aspect of our sport than from the shooting competition. Regardless of a SASS member's individual area of interest, SASS events provide regular opportunities for fellowship and fun with like-minded folks.


OLD WEST FIREARMS

Cowboy Action Shooting is a multi-faceted shooting sport in which contestants compete with firearms typical of those used in the taming of the Old West: single action revolvers, pistol caliber lever action rifles and double barreled side by side, or pre-1899 pump or lever action shotguns. The shooting competition is staged in a unique, characterized, "Old West" style.


We shoot on the First and Third Saturday of each month.
The public is welcome, please bring eye and ear protection.
