Hi, All CAS Shooters, I am trying to get an official sub section on the forum under everything shooting for "Cowboy Action Shooting". I passed the suggestion via "Dromia" who said it is possible as long as we get enough traction as he called it ie: Posts and interest. So I am going to start a few topics and see what comes.
So come on anyone interested in CAS, members of the BWSS (British Western Shooting Society)
http://www.bwss.co.uk/
or the USA SASS (Single Action Shooting Society)
http://www.sassnet.com/
post your thoughts and any info you have so we can be represented as a group on the main Full Bore Forum.

Re: Cowboy Action Shooting - Sub Section on Forum
It does look like good fun - would love a shorty hammer gun and an underlever shotty whilst we're at it.
I see there's a club not far from Keighley - might have to look into this a bit more seriously.....

I am always happy to loan my guns for anyone to have a go. I just need to know if you are attending the meeting so I have enough ammo.nickb834 wrote:It does look like good fun - would love a shorty hammer gun and an underlever shotty whilst we're at it.

I'm guessing your loan guns are not S.1 shotguns?qws wrote:I am always happy to loan my guns for anyone to have a go.

I've got a nice Tula hammer sxs that would be ideal for BWSS/CASS type events, plus could be loaned to new folk - as well as a S.1 1897 that couldn't be loaned (but no desire to have it crimped to two shot)
Also got a period correct Winchester Model 12 on S.2
No sixguns left though!
Any shotgun (or shotgun/rifle) only events planned?
....and do we all have to dress up like Blackstuff's favourite from Village People?
As a long time fan of the TV show Deadwood I can confirm that I have the terminology memorised
(& the breaking news is a Deadwood MOVIE is in the works!!!)

Re: Cowboy Action Shooting - Sub Section on Forum
Yes, No S1 Shotguns, but sure others will have S2 for loan during the comp.
Dressing up for me will be: Hat, Jeans, check / plain shirt and my normal Chelsea boots. So no fancy stuff. Just want to enjoy a fun days shooting 3 gun. Just confirmed the order in the USA for my double pistol rig, cartridge belt and trouser ranger belt, as much as buying another gun.

Re: Cowboy Action Shooting - Sub Section on Forum
....may have to post an advert too: being a full-time leatherworker I'm familiar with CORRECT holsters (does anyone showing up with a Hollywood style rig get de-bagged & radished?) plus ranger belts, cartridge belts, ammunition sliders, etc. All hand-sewn as they should be!

Re: Cowboy Action Shooting - Sub Section on Forum
Saddler, I understand the rule is prior to 1899, so Hollywood Style is wrong, but I think some club allow. Strict SASS and BWSS the hip high holsters are the correct way to go.saddler wrote:....may have to post an advert too: being a full-time leatherworker I'm familiar with CORRECT holsters (does anyone showing up with a Hollywood style rig get de-bagged & radished?) plus ranger belts, cartridge belts, ammunition sliders, etc. All hand-sewn as they should be!
So do an advert and show some images of your work.

Innovator? He's got some dead cow skin and a needle and thread and a book with some pictures of Cowboys in it (YMCA type)...
If he lost a couple of pound and grew a better moustache, he could be a dead ringer for my other in law, but innovator......?

In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?
