~ So, What Is Cowboy Action Shooting? ~
The Closest You'll Get to the Old West Short of a Time Machine!
Come Join Our Posse!
The Faultline Shootist Society is a Single Action Shooting Society (SASS)
affiliated Cowboy Action Shooting (CAS) club for the Santa Clara Valley and
Central Coast area. The members of Faultline share a common interest in
preserving the history of the Old West and competitive target shooting.
Cowboy
Action Shooting is a multi-faceted shooting sport in which contestants compete
with firearms typical of those used in the settling of the Old West:
single-action revolvers, lever-action rifles, and side-by-side double barreled,
pre-1899 pump or lever-action shotguns. The shooting competition is staged in a
unique, characterized, Old West style.
Men, women,
and juniors (12-17) shoot in several (typically 4-6) stages or courses of fire,
in which they engage reactive steel targets with live ammunition. Scoring is
based on accuracy and speed. Safety is constantly stressed and enforced while
having fun in a no-pressure, casual atmosphere
Each
participant is required to adopt a shooting alias appropriate to a character or
profession of the late 19th century, real or fiction, or a Hollywood western
star. An appropriate costume is then developed accordingly.
Many participants gain as much enjoyment from the character re-creation
and social aspects of our sport as from the shooting competition.
Matches are
held at the Monterey County Swiss Rifle Club, 34241 Gloria Road, Gonzales, CA on
the 4th Sunday of each month (except December). Signup starts at 8 am and the
match is scheduled to start at 9 am.
Match fees:
