While SASS/Cowboy Action Shooting may not interest everyone, some of us find it to be an enjoyable way to compete with revolvers, rifles, and shotguns all at the same time. It pleases us old folks that there are some youngsters with good eyesight, good reflexes, and good manners who enjoy our sport.
Here is a link to a video of Missouri Lefty, a young man of college age, who, after winning the Missouri State Championship match in September, went on to set four new world records in cowboy action shooting.
Gunfighter category requires shooting the revolver targets with a gun in each hand, essentially alternating shots with single action revolvers.
Frontier Cartridge category requires blackpowder (or BP substitute cartridges) in all three types of guns, and shooting the revolvers two-handed.
Frontier Cartridge Duelist also requires all loads to be blackpowder, but requires the revolvers to be shot one-handed, sequentially.
Frontiersman requires the use of percussion revolvers using black powder, shot Duelist style (one-handed), as well as black powder loads in the rifle and shotgun.
The World Record target array specifies 16 inch targets at 7 yards for revolver, rifle at 18 yards, and shotgun knockdowns at 10 yards, with specified spacing between targets.
This is a visual demonstration of cowboy action shooting excellence. I was honored to be able to make the videos.
