So I've been getting my gear together to give SASS/CAS a try. Seeing I love guns, any guns, buying the necessary firearms for this endeavor was a pure joy. So I took my newly acquired Uberti Cattleman in 45 Colt to the range last weekend to see how much practice I'd need with draw shooting a single action. Eh, it looks easy in the movies so how hard could it really be??????
The answer, very hard, that's how hard. Just trying with a little speed I didn't even come close to hitting a man sized target. I hit to the left, to the right, at the foot of the target stand and one time way over it's head. Decided to try it nice and slow. At least that way I was hitting the target. Shot the guy in the foot, took off an elbow and nicked his knee. Hummmm, at least I didn't hit him where the family jewels are.....
Yep, I'm going to need a LOT of practice with this. Though I pretty much knew that going in.
