WHAT ARE WE????

Relive the OLD WEST! Cowboy action shooting is a multi-faceted shooting sport in which contestants compete with firearms (authentic or replicas) typical of those used in taming of the Old West. This is fun shooting, not precision, target shooting! and no fast draw. But you might want to be good with a knife and lucky with cards.

** EYE AND EAR PROTECTION MANDATORY **

Rules and procedures follow those of the International Single Action Shooting Society, who produce END OF TRAIL, the World Championships of Cowboy Action Shooting:
