About Us:

Cowboy Action Shooting (CAS) is a shooting sport in which contestants compete with firearms typical of those used in the Old West-single action revolvers, lever action or slide rifles, and double barreled, lever action or slide action shotguns. The shooting competition is staged in a unique, Old West style. The firearms are those typical of the American Frontier from about 1860 to 1899. During a match, contestants shoot in several sages using 3-4 guns, 1-2 pistol, one rifle and one shotgun. while firing at steel targets. Scoring is based on accuracy  and speed.

Perhaps the most unique aspect of Cowboy Action Shooting is the fun to adopt a shooting alias appropriate to a character or profession of the late 19th century, or a Hollywood western star, and develop a costume accordingly. Shooters are divided into categories and classes depending upon the type of firearms used and the style in which they shoot.
