Q: WHAT IN THE HECK IS COWBOY ACTION SHOOTING (CAS)?

A: It is the fastest growing shooting sport in the world! Maybe you have seen it featured on "American Shooter" on TNN, saw it in a magazine or heard about it from a friend or neighbor? It is as much a social event and celebration of American history as it is a competitive shooting sport.

To some it may just look like dressing up like "Cowboys & Indians" and shooting guns, but it is much more than that.. Cowboy action shooting incorporates firearms marksmanship with a sincere interest in our Western Heritage and takes it all to a whole new level.
	For the most part, we enjoy researching and learning about the Wild West period (between 1840 and 1899), although B-Western costuming is acceptable. Many of us study the famous and not-so famous people, places, occupations, traditions and tools that helped to mold and fashion our country, particularly the post-Civil War (Reconstruction) Period in the areas west of St. Louis. Others study classic western movies from the 1920's through the 1970's. Some are into more "period correct" or authentic costuming, detailed historical research and collecting than others. The sport is for those of any creed, color or heritage that enjoy reliving the spirit and traditions of the Wild West, in any any form.
At some annual matches, such as the SASS End of Trail, there are awards given for costuming, cooking, dancing, gambling, even "best guncart." You don't have to be the "top gun" to win an award at a big annual match!

Incorporating the many facets of old-west clothing and style with 19th century manners, traditions, time-proven tactics and classic weapons of the old-west into a positive and safe contemporary shooting environment is what Cowboy Action Shooting (CAS) is all about!

Shooters (and non-shooters) from 12 years to 70+ years old each take on an old-west "shooting alias" based upon a person or profession in the mid to late 19th century. It may be a real person or forbearer, a fictional character or a composite of several real people (and characters alike). We develop our clothing (costume), demeanor (and weapon selection) around our chosen western shooting persona. Many shooters create elaborate "life histories" for their character through careful research.				Photo courtesy of m. Paul Regret, SASS 19892
You may choose to be a traditional cowpoke or.. soldier/sailor, Indian fighter, Scout, trapper, buffalo hunter, mountain man, Town Marshall, County Sheriff, gunfighter, stagecoach driver, saloon girl, gambler, shopkeeper, doctor, miner, mercenary, outlaw, teacher, preacher, judge, "carpetbager" (politician), farmer, Indian, pioneer, settler, rich land baron or poor emigrant.. it is up to you! Cowboy shooters often choose professions close to their own modern job but, some choose to live out a fantasy role. Many women choose the "Annie Oakley" or pioneer woman type character, some others prefer to portray "Soiled Doves", fun lovin' dance hall girls, native maidens or any of the other personas listed above. There are really a lot of creative and interesting options available to you.. Celebrate your heritage, portray a legendary hero or create a western character from your daydreams! Regardless of what you choose, you don't even have to feel a necessity to be 100% "period correct." Except for those shooting in the new "Classic Cowboy" classification, Hollywood-type "silver screen heroes" and other B-Western cowboy characters with low slung buscaderro rigs and "smile pocket" shirts are A-okay Pard'!

Q: WHAT IS SASS?
A: The world's largest and most widely recognized cowboy shooting organization is the Single Action Shooting Society (SASS). The sport of Cowboy Action Shooting (CAS) was started by a small group of intrepid IPSC (International Practical Shooting Confederation) members that decided to try competing with traditional single-action pistols and a host of other "old-west" style firearms in December 1979. The first two day CAS match was held in 1982 and was the genesis of EoT (End of Trail, the World CAS Championships) which eventually led to the formation of SASS in 1989.

	When joining SASS, each shooter registers their unique shooting alias (nickname) and is issued a personalized membership certificate, a SASS membership card and a numbered metal SASS badge. There are more than 60,000 SASS members worldwide, so it is not unusual to discover the name you want is already taken. For more information on choosing an alias, [click here]. For more information about the Single Action Shooting Society, go to the official SASS Website at www.SASSNET.com.
BCVC NEW SHOOTER TIP: Make a list of 10 or 20 potential alias names and rank them, then call up SASS and give it a shot! One suggestion is to try to make your alias as unique and personal as possible. You can call them at their toll-free number at 1-877-411-SASS and lock in your new shooter alias over the phone using a credit card!
While SASS is not the only association formed for the benefit of the sport of Cowboy Action Shooting, it is recognized, world-wide, as the premiere International CAS organization. Other national and International groups include; WASA (Western Action Shootists Association), NCOWS (National Congress of Old West Shooters) and SWS (Scandinavian Western Shooters). Similar to SASS, each of these organizations have local and regional clubs that operate under the rules of their chosen association. While most rules, from club-to-club are generally the same in regard to safety, some vary in the areas of accepted costuming, weapons and shooter classifications. By and large, the SASS rules are the accepted standard and any variance from the SASS rules is pointed out as such at most local non-SASS matches.

Q : WHAT ARE "STAGES" AND "MATCHES"?

A: A stage is a pre-designed, western-themed, shooting scenario that makes up a portion of a match.. it is at one location on a shooting range where you are provided with instructions on a "course of fire" that you will carry out. The scenario represents a shoot-out situation your character is involved in. Generally each stage (scenario) you will engage several 8" to 24" wide steel plate targets of various shapes. The targets are designed for pistol, rifle and shotgun, placed 7 to 50 yards from the firing line. You are tasked with engaging the various targets, in a specific order, while you are being timed. You are penalized for each missed target and for any safety or technical violations (called "procedurals" ..short for procedural error) that occur while completing the stage. If you understand the instructions, know how to safely operate your weapons and take your time in loading and aiming carefully, you will "clean the stage" meaning, complete that particular scenario without any errors or misses. Having a fast time or getting a good overall score is not as important as range safety and just having a darned good time (and looking good doing it!). If you don't realize it already, shooting against a clock and with an audience can be a bit unnerving.. especially at first. The biggest consolation is that 99% of the people watching will be shooting immediately before or after you. Everyone has to start out somewhere and "greenhorn" jitters are normal.. even experienced shooters get a little nervous sometimes. It is the good shooters that can overcome their anxiety and FOCUS that energy on their shooting in order to concentrate on the stage at hand. One advantage we have over the real old-west cowboys.. at least our targets don't shoot back!

A series of timed stages and their scores (your cumulative times and penalties) make up a "match." At most matches, you will be in a group or team called a "posse" which is comprised of a number of shooters, both friends and strangers, that work together to complete the stages. Your posse will move from stage to stage as a group. Usually you shoot stages one-at-a-time, but some matches offer "pairs" or "team" stages where you work as a team with someone on your posse (or your whole posse) to accomplish the given course of fire. Some matches have plaques, trophies or prizes, others may just publish the match scores with a shooter ranking. It depends on if it is a little local practice match, an annual club match or a big regional match. Each shooter's combined times and penalties make up their score. The shooters are then ranked like golf.. lowest score wins!

As any good cowboy action shooter will tell you, "Work on your accuracy first and your speed will improve over time."

Since costuming is considered nearly as important as shooting, costume contests are another competitive aspect of Cowboy Action Shooting. Most regional/annual matches and championships award the best costumed competitors in many categories. Competition is fierce and the difference between first and second place could be as little as the dates on the money in your pockets! If you are a hyper-competitive person, this may not be a good sport for you. The most important thing in CAS (Cowboy Action Shooting) is the "Spirit of the Game."  Everyone is encouraged to be honorable (exhibit Victorian-era ethics and morals), play fair (good sportsmanship never goes out of style) and do their very best. You just can't let competition be your primary focus and motivation. Each shooter tries to encourage others while trying to do their personal best (without trying to "one-up" or merely better another competitor). Everyone likes to win, but only one person can be the very best on any given day. No one likes a poor loser.. and even fewer people like a poor winner!

Q: WHAT ABOUT GUNS & LEATHER?

A: For those shooting in "traditional" class at Cowboy Action matches, you will need two fixed sight single action revolvers, most any exposed hammer, manually activated rifle (such as a Marlin or Winchester lever-action rifle) in a pistol caliber and a 12, 16 or 20 gauge double barrelled shotgun or a Model '97 (1897) style exposed hammer pump shotgun (vintage or reproduction). Local club rules may be more lenient but, SASS has clear guidelines that should be followed to ensure your guns can be used in a SASS sanctioned event. It is best that you do some research and ensure your firearms will be acceptable (and correct for the class you wish to compete in) at all SASS sanctioned events. Additionally, some modern modifications are prohibited. Ensure your gunsmith is up-to-date on SASS policies before undertaking any permanent modification to your gun(s).

Two types of handguns are generally used in Cowboy Action Shooting; single action Colt revolvers (and their replicas) and single action Ruger revolvers. True Colts are more historically correct, but Rugers are more durable, heavier and considerably less expensive. A heavier gun may be preferable as it results in less "felt recoil". Some foreign-made Colt replicas can be had at (or near) the price of a new Ruger, but they still have many of the same idiosyncrasies as the originals. The best way to decide is to handle and shoot both and decide which feels best in your hand. The standard Ruger Vaquero has a larger frame and a larger grip, but they are now available with a "birds head grip" that is great for those with smaller hands (as well as a new .32 cal "Mini-Vaquero" model).

In CAS, we actually do a lot more shooting, a lot more often, than the most real cowboys and old-west gunfighters did. You may shoot more in one afternoon than some infamous "gunslingers" did in their entire lifetime! These guns take a lot of abuse. A real Colt SA (single action) revolver is a big investment and will need regular gunsmithing/tuning if it is used frequently but, some shooters wouldn't use anything else!

FOR CLARIFICATION: Your 2 pistols should be .32 caliber or larger (see list of calibers in the AMMO section, below) with fixed sites (for "traditional" and most other classes. Some adjustable site single-action revolvers are allowed for the "modern" class only). The allowed rifles and carbines are lever and pump action, .25 caliber or larger with an exposed hammer. You may use a side-by-side/double barrel shotgun without auto ejectors (may be disabled) or Winchester '97 style, exposed hammer, pump shotgun 10, 12, 16 or 20 gauge.

Most any western gunbelt and holsters that fit will work fine.. please ensure the holsters will hold the guns securely and that the draw angle will not result in a muzzle pointing back toward bystanders (particularly with crossdraw or shoulder holsters). If you don't know what the "170° rule" is, please have it explained to you at the next shoot you attend.. and before you purchase your leather. One of the best SASS Affiliated gun shops in Northern California is Tabor's Shooter's Supply in San Bruno (located on El Camino Real, near SFO). They stock a variety of "SASS legal" single action guns in all calibers as well as a full line of Cowboy rifles, shotguns, leathergoods, a few instructional books, videos and lots of special -lead only- cowboy action ammunition. They also tune and repair guns as well as adding features to increase accuracy and comfort such as a "period correct" tang site, performance springs or a "mercury break" (also known as a "dead mule") in the butt of a rifle or shotgun to absorb recoil (and take it from Madame Wicked.. they really do work!).

There are other cowboy shooting classifications besides "traditional" and you can learn about them as you progress in the sport. There are also various "side matches" at large annual (regional) events and encompass different (old-west period) guns and ammo, including blackpowder percussion (cap & ball) , blackpowder cartridge, muzzleloader, pre-1900 double action pistol, 1911 style single-action semi-auto pistol, single shot rifle, derringer pistol and of course, buffalo gun and Quigley-style long range rifle shooting.. Believe me; if is was used in the old west, there will most likely be a classification or side match for it at any annual state, regional or national CAS match!
There are also categories for juniors (ages 12 through 16), ladies and seniors. In most cases, you are only competing against shooters in the same shooting classification as you.. duelists against duelists, women against women, juniors against juniors and so on. Depending on the participation and the size of the match, there may be many sub-classifications such as Lady Duelist, Modern Lady, Senior Gunfighter, as well as Junior Boys and Junior Girls.
Information on specific shooter categories can be found in the SASS Shooter's Handbook SASS SHOOTER CATEGORY INFO or SASS SHOOTER'S HANDBOOK
SIDE MATCHES: Many local and regional annual CAS matches offer a wide array of various side events, generally called "side matches." They may include large and small cailber long range rifle, speed stages (such as speed shotgun or speed derringer), cowboy trap, and most offer a "plainsman" event or sidematch. Generally these side events are conducted the day before the main match and are separate from the main match, featuring their own trophies or plaques. Entry is often included in the match fee or may require a small additional fee. The "plainsman side match" is generally 2 or more unique stages shot with 2 "cap & ball" revolvers, a (large caliber) single shot rifle and a double barrel shotgun.. all with black powder. Another (newer) side match is called the "Wild Bunch" event, which is usually shot solo or in teams of 4, depending on the club. [Click here for details on the Chabot "Wild Bunch" sidematch].

Q: IS THIS A FORM OF COWBOY STYLE QUICKDRAW SHOOTING?

A: No, we don't do quickdraw, hammer-fanning, flashy gun acrobatics or any of that dangerous stuff. Unlike the lightning draw "pistoleros" and hot dog gunslingers that you may have seen on TV or movies, we shoot REAL bullets, not blanks, not wax loads.. real lead at 800 to 1000 feet per second (up to 1400 fps for rifles). We take our shooting seriously, because firearm safety is a very serious matter. Every shooter is considered a "range officer" and if they see any safety violation, they are obligated to point it out immediately. There is no need to belittle or berate anyone, we are all partners and we are all friendly, but "sweeping" a crowd with a closed shotgun (or any gun for that matter, loaded or unloaded) will not go unnoticed or uncorrected. As a general rule, you should always treat your weapons as if they were loaded (even if you KNOW otherwise) and pay special attention to muzzle direction at all times.

Q: WHAT ABOUT AMMUNITION?

A: All of your CAS ammo must be lead or standard lead alloy and shoot at a maximum of 1000 fps (pistol) or 1400 fps (rifle) or less.. no jacketed ammo is allowed. Most shoot with flat-nosed, cast, lead-alloy bullets, but wad-cutters and semi wad-cutters are okay too. The caliber is up to you.. .32, 38/40, .38, .357, .41, .44 (Russian, special or magnum), 44/40, .45 (Long Colt or Schofield), .45/70 (rifle).. whatever caliber your single action pistols/lever action rifle(s) are in. For the shotgun, we recommend low recoil (aka: "super handicap" or "featherweight") shells in #7 to #8 lead shot (although #6, #7, #7 1/2 or #8 shot are all acceptable) in 12, 16 or 20 gauge. Steel shot, slugs and shot larger than #6 are not allowed (and #6 shot is not recommended). Most large gun shops carry lead "Cowboy Loads" and "AA featherweight shells" that are specially designed for this sport.

Many shooters take up the hobby of ammunition reloading to save money. For an average stage you will need 20 rounds of rifle/pistol ammo and 4 to 12 shotgun shells (this is for each stage). Most monthly or local matches consist of 5 to 12 stages, so buy accordingly and bring extra for plinking or sighting-in guns. It is always better to bring way more than you will need and just leave it in your guncart or car..er.. "metal stagecoach" ..just in case.

On guncarts.. Many shooters use a homemade or pre-made gun cart. This makes it a lot easier to move your long guns, ammo and accessories from stage to stage. It is something you may not need as a beginner. You can always share space in a cart with a shootin' partner in your posse. Most every solo shooter has some extra room for a couple of long guns and a box or bag of cartridges anyhow, so just ask any "loner" on your posse if they have room for a Pard'!

Q: WHEN AND WHERE DO YOU GUYS SHOOT IN THE SAN FRANCISCO AREA?

A: On the 2nd Sunday of "even" months, there is a local single action practice match hosted by the Richmond Roughriders [ROUGHRIDERS WEBSITE] at the Richmond Rod and Gun Club. Call the range at 510-620-9519 for directions and basic range information. [CLICK HERE] for basic driving directions from the Bay Bridge and the San Rafael Bridge. The Roughriders generally run 5-6 SASS stages at their matches and the fee is $15 per shooter (Juniors, 12-17 years old, are FREE and must be accompanied by a parent, grandparent or guardian). Bring at least 60 rounds of rifle ammo, 60 rounds of pistol ammo and 40 shotgun shells. Call I.M. Nobody at 650-589-0505 if you have any questions about the Richmond Roughriders or their regular matches. The Richmond Roughriders are the only SASS affiliated Club in the San Francisco Bay Area.

On the 3rd Sunday of "odd" months, there is a local single action shooting match hosted by the Old West Shooting Society [OWSS WEBPAGE] at Chabot Gun Club in Castro Valley. Call 510-569-0213 for directions or go to their website at: www.chabotgunclub.com for more information. They generally run 6 stages at the Chabot Shoots.. bring at least 72 rounds of rifle ammo, 72 rounds of pistol ammo and 50 shotgun shells.. although ol' Rowdy has been known to put 20+ shotgun targets in a single stage! The match fee for the regular Chabot matches is $12 per shooter.

At both of these local shoots, registration starts around 8:30 am. Please try to arrive before 9 am to register, if you plan to shoot. There is a safety meeting at about 9:30 am (between 9:15 and 9:45) and then the shoot'n generally starts thereafter (between 9:30 and 10 am). Both of these matches are open to new shooters. A new shooter orientation is provided if you let the coordinators know who you are before the safety meeting. First time shooters are assigned to a posse with an experienced local shooter as a mentor, to assist at the stages. If you need to share a guncart or need a loaner gun, please let someone in charge know when you arrive, so arrangements can be made. It is generally not a problem.. this is a very "neighborly" sport and most everyone treats newcomers like old friends.. it's part of "the Spirit of the Game."

There are many other monthly CAS clubs hosting monthly and annual matches throughout Northern California. [CLICK HERE] for more information!

If you feel you aren't ready for a competitive match (even though these regular "monthly" matches are fine for beginners) or, if you just want to get some CAS practice or coaching, there is a regular cowboy action practice shoot held from 9:30 am to 1 pm on the 2nd Saturday of "odd" months at the Richmond Rod and Gun Club. That shoot is practice only (i.e. blue jeans and ballcaps are fine) and is organized by El Paso Gaso (E-mail: elpasogaso@aol.com). For additional details, contact Frank at 650-589-0505, Tues-Sat from 10-6. It is suggested you call or e-mail in advance to confirm this shoot, as it is somewhat informal and may be canceled without notice if there is a big regional match or bad weather forecast that weekend.

Q: WHAT DO I WEAR IF I COME TO A LOCAL MATCH?

A: If you want to participate (or even just watch) it is asked, at a minimum, that you (guys) wear jeans (not designer jeans with big flashy tags or labels either), a long sleeve button up shirt (cowboys didn't wear short sleeve shirts, sweats or tank tops) and leather shoes or boots. A cowboy hat is optional, but besides keeping the sun out of your eyes and keeping the hot rifle brass from going down your shirt, hats were worn outdoors by all men up until the 1940's [HAT ETIQUETTE], so they are pretty essential to any cowboy outfit.. ball caps and tennis shoes are generally frowned upon. Gals should wear jeans and a cowboy hat or other "period" clothing such as a riding skirt and western blouse, a western style or basic prairie dress or even a fancy dancehall girl outfit!

It is always more fun when everyone is participating and getting into the "Spirit of the Game." Some participants look like they stepped out of a time machine and wear extremely intricate "period-correct" outfits and hairdos, while some just make a small effort. Either way, it is appreciated by everyone. No one expects you to show up on day-one looking like a damned Wyatt Earp clone.. Take your time, shop around, ask questions of other shooters and be patient. Buy quality stuff that will last, like they did back then. Don't try to save time and money by cutting corners. You'll spend more time and money in the long run and regret it in the end. This includes cowboy leather gear, hats, clothes, carts, guns, ammo.. everything! A little experience goes a long way. Give yourself time to learn.. this cowboy "stuff" is not a passing fad, it is a 150 year old tradition and it can be a way of life.

EYES & EARS: More important than any costume, you'll also need to bring adequate ear and eye protection.. this is an area where modern equipment is perfectly acceptable. You should wear whatever you feel most comfortable with. Most shooters wear custom molded prescription ear-plugs or the foam "marshmallow" plugs. Standard ear muff hearing protection is acceptable, but not seen very often on a CAS range. Some shooters wear "period" shooting glasses which are generally antique-style frames fitted with modern polycarbonate safety lenses (prescription or non-prescription). Some feel the coverage of the old spectacle frames is not adequate, in which case, modern wrap-around shooting glasses are your best bet!

Q: SO, WHERE CAN I GET SOME FANCY COWBOY DUDS? A: You would be amazed at what can be obtained at yard sales and second hand stores.. Salvation Army and St. Vincent de Paul can be a goldmine in regard to vintage outfits and inexpensive items that can be easily converted to a fantastic old-west getup for men, women and children. There are many great commercial and "Mom & Pop" outfitters on-line that sell all sorts of new/reproduction garb.. some is reasonably priced, some is overpriced (watch out for high shipping & handling charges.. or companies that tend to ship orders in multiple shipments and bill you for shipping & handling on each package). If you are an eBay'er, you can also do a search under "SASS" and find a lot of great clothing and accessories for CAS. The best local "Cowboy Emporium" is Golden Gate Western Wear, located in San Francisco and on San Pablo on the Richmond/El Cerrito border. You can call them at 415/441-1187 or 510/232-3644 for directions to either location. Ask for "Major DeBacle" (Bill Knudsen, the owner) and be sure to tell him you heard about his shop on the BCVC website! Their new Richmond store is intentionally geared more toward outfitting cowboy action shooters. They feature custom fitted hats, lots of clothes and some nice leather rigs.

Q: DO I HAVE TO BE A MEMBER OF A CLUB TO JOIN IN ON THE ACTION?

A: No. You don't have to join any clubs or organizations to participate in cowboy action shooting. Most cowboy shooters join SASS so they can "lock in" their unique shooting alias (nickname) and get their SASS badge and number earlier in their shooting "career." Some have been shooting for years and still haven't joined SASS yet. A few have let their membership dues lapse, which allows their SASS alias to be recycled and taken by someone else. If you sign up with SASS and get your name and badge now.. then decide you really like the sport, you can opt for the SASS Life Membership within 90 days of your application processing and get your initial $40 registration fee credited toward the $400 SASS Life Membership. Otherwise, it is $35 for annual renewal ($15 for Juniors, 12-16 years old). There are many regional matches that require SASS membership to participate.. including the CA State Championships, Western Regional Championships and "End of Trail" (the International Cowboy Action Shooting Championship, held annually, at the end of April, in Norco, CA, near Corona in SoCal).

The Richmond Roughriders are the only SASS affiliated Club in the Central San Francisco Bay Area. The Old West Shooting Society is an independent group of active CAS shooters that are affiliated with the Chabot Gun Club's Old West Shooting Program.. both welcome spectators and new shooters alike.

The Barbary Coast Vigilance Committee (BCVC) is not a club per se, but more of a committee (hence the name) or "network" of active cowboy shooters that may or may not be members of the Single Action Shooting Society (SASS), the Richmond Roughriders, the Old West Shooting Society, the National Congress of Old West Shooters (NCOWS), the Western Action Shootists Association (WASA) or other CAS related groups, clubs and organizations.



Q: WHERE CAN I GET MORE INFORMATION ON GETTING STARTED IN COWBOY ACTION SHOOTING?

A: There are three places.. (1) at a match or practice, (2) at a SASS affiliated gun shop and (3) on-line.

(1) You can come out to any local match and check out the fun; see the outfits, equipment, weapons and watch the competition and ask questions of the competitors. It is free to watch and you're sure to learn something! There are local matches in the area pretty much every weekend [CLICK HERE FOR A FULL LIST OF LOCAL MATCHES]. If you have your equipment together (or at least some of it), hook up with some other shooters and see if you can borrow what you need to shoot on the same posse with someone willing to share their guns with you. Another option is to get a buddy into the sport. You each buy one pistol and one long gun (an appropriate shotgun and a pistol-caliber lever-action rifle), then you each get a pistol rig (holsters and belt) and you just share guns until you can each afford to round out your CAS arsenal.

(2) You can call around and find a gun shop in your area that stocks cowboy action guns and leather.. you're sure to find someone there that can tell you all about their favorite shooting sport. The only SASS affiliated gun shop in the San Francisco Bay Area is Tabor's Shooters Supply in San Bruno [TABOR'S SHOOTERS SUPPLY WEBSITE]. There you can ask questions as well as see a wide variety of cowboy action guns and leather.
