thinking of getting into Cboy Action shooting

Howdy,
Welcome to CAS,
We here at SAWWS will be looking to host shoots or demos in the Eastern part of Sask. in the near future. But we need someone from an aproved range to contact us so we can set it up. As Greybeard has stated "We will supply the guns, ammo, targets and qualified R.O. staff". You can't get a better deal than that.
Check the web page at www.sawws.com for updates and contact info.
Regards
Doc
 
For the Mission CAS info, google the Rusty Wood Trading Co. He has all their info. There are 4 shooots in Kamloops, A large annual, Palmers Gulch, and 3 more or less fun matches. Google Heffley Creek Gun Club.com
 
BEFORE you spend any money, down load the SASS manuals, find out which category that you are interested in. Some categories require specific firearms, specific belt & holster, specific ammunition, specific clothing. Spend your money only ONCE, spend it wisely. After you have read the manuals attend a couple of matches, ask questions, after the stages are finished for the day, ask people if you can try some of their gear. Cowboys are a friendly bunch, and many will offer their firearms to try. By reading the manuals first, your questions will always be more well thought out and the responses you want will better answer your questions. Asking what is the best revolver/rifle/shotgun depends largely which category you choose. Without knowing the category, asking the question which is the best firearm is a waste of time.

Also keep in mind that not all clubs are affiliated with SASS, but most pay lip service to their safety rules. Personally, for your first choice of leather you buy once you have your category chosen, I would not spend the family fortune at the beginning. Most shooters getting into the sport after a couple of matches decide that their original choices don't suit their personal style of shooting.
 
Find a posse and attend a match as an interested party.
It will be tough to get started, given the current freeze on the LEGAL purchase and transfer of even cowboy revolvers*, at least until we can eject the current mis-government at the polls (or we become the 51st).
Some posses are sharing revolvers, while other like mine, are willing to allow the use of double action revolvers, shot single action, all other SASS rules and covenants still applying.

* Home invaders, drug dealers, thieves and all other miscreants are excused and exempted, being able to continue their careers unimpeded.
