Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Cowboy Action Shooting Cowboy fast draw

Has caught my attention, probably because I don’t have to shoot real ammo! Wax bullets, primers, and reamed out primer pockets seems like a nice trick to beat the ridicules price of ammo. Anyone here participate and willing to share tips and trick of getting into the hobby with the new guy?
Thanks,

I've watched it online for years and love it, but it does not have Cowboy in the name. That's part of SASS, I think. The sport has a very small following nowadays . A couple states usually run the show always.

See if you can find some old Cal Elrich videos online. He's a big name in it.

Like you, I wish it was huge. I would jump right in it.

And it's pretty good for spectators too, unlike most shooting competition.

Can you imagine the ridicule MATT DILLON would have suffered from the towns people and the frequenters of the Long Branch if he had placed his body in the same contortions as the shooters we see on TV and U-Tube. Half laid back almost falling on the ground. I have watched a few matches on TV as well as U-Tube, fast yes, but almost a joke.

Knew two guys that gave it a try with live ammo. Both managed pass-throughs of the thigh without hitting bone. One was a .22, the other a .41.

One of the most amazing shooters to me was Bob Munden.

Even he used a protective holster, with a piece of angled flat steel on the backside of his holster, just in Case,
that would deflect an errant round, just to be safe!

SMART MAN!

It's a sport. That's why they use blanks and wax bullets. They have many divisions. If you want to use more traditional guns and holsters, and thumb cock, there is one for that.

I knew one, .22 messed him up pretty badly.

He instantly became the most gun safety-conscious man alive.

Yeap, ridiculous!
