Cowboy Action Shooting



As I have previously mentioned I participate in Cowboy Action Shooting and I belong to the Red Mountain Renegades out of Mission. We recently had our big 2 day shoot in May. I have a web album here with pictures from the shoot.


Basically it is grown men playing cowboy but we use real guns, you require 2 revolvers, a shotgun and a rifle. I shoot in either the Traditional or Classic Cowboy category. My caliber is 44-40, most shooters use 38 Special or 45 Long Colt. Shooting can be expensive so I load my own ammunition (material for another post). I really enjoy this activity, I meet some great folks and it is a lot of fun. I was introduced to this by my friend Al (first picture shooting his pistols). Unfortunately, with Mattias around and the range being 1.5 hours away I do not get out as much as I would like.


If you are interested there are clubs all over the Canada and the US. The folks are really friendly and love to show new people what we do.
