Adams Long Lost Love - I have just started Cowboy shooting, went to Rhode Island this past weekend and shot in the "Blazing Saddles" match at the Lincoln County Lawmen. We have a shoot this next weekend at my club in Foxboro, a 3 gun, i.e. Sixgun, lever action (mine is a 1873) and a shotgun, I use a double barrel coach gun (18 1/2 inch barrels) with external hammers since it is authentic to the old west.
Other events I shoot in are Military Rifle and Pistol matches, benchrest rifle, snubby shoots, and trap shooting. a little bit of everything.
I am trying to put together an "authentic" looking Ben outfit, so doing alot of research.
SASS stands for Single Action Shooting Society

Hello and :welcome !

So tell me, do you do any of your shooting on horseback? (I'm one of the resident horse nuts around here.)

Can't wait to hear more about your sport and please, post lots of pictures of both you and your son in action!

Sounds really cool! Are these events for the public to come and watch too?
