SASS Cowboy Shooting: Learn to Shoot Like a Western Gunslinger
SASS Cowboy Action Shooting could be for you! Have you ever thought about what it’s like to be a cowboy or cowgirl in the 19th century Old West? If you’ve fantasized about it, then dream no more because somewhere in your locality is a Cowboy Action Shooting (CAS) association that you can join.
This exciting and fun sport has been featured in a Fox News article entitled Shoot Like a Real Cowboy. Want to learn how to shoot like a genuine Wild West gunslinger? Well, CAS offers you that opportunity.
The Fox News article mentions the main aspects of the sport including the re-enactment of the Old West lifestyle and competition target shooting using pistol-caliber firearms from that era. Dressing in period costume and assuming an alias based on a real or fictional Western character add an authentic touch to the experience.
SASS cowboy action shooting is relatively new. It was started in 1981 by Harper Creigh, later to be known by his CAS alias Judge Roy Bean (SASS #1). An administrative and regulatory body was needed as the sport progressed. The Single Action Shooting Society (SASS) was created in 1987 for this reason.
