Cowboy action shooting

#1 Post by techguy »

I shoot mainly practical type stuff and a cowboy action shooting youtube video caught my attention and looks like fun.

Anybody on here shoot it? Anybody on here shoot it in Kent?

They call it Western Shooting here because of negative connotations associated with the word "cowboy"

It does look like fun, but are the hats compulsory?

From what I have read you have to make up a alter ego and dress and act like you think they would.

Everything north of watford is 'up north' for us southerners ;)

Either way, they're a bit far for it to be a regular thing for me :(
