10 4... i want to do some comps (and yes, watch some before) , i was wanting to get another SA rev but newer i want a high capacity .22 but if not allowed in adult comp was gonna get another to match what i got. (I know only 5 rounds for comp, alterior motive for the .22 tho)Yup
SASS allows .22 and .410 for Buckaroos under 14.
Otherwise minimum .32 and 20 ga.
Need not be the same caliber sixguns and carbine.
But go to a shoot. Lots of helpful folks with spare guns to loan.
Do you have a link for the rule book..... i cant seem to find.As Jim suggests, go to a match or two before doing anything. Go see what it's about and talk to folks. Then when you have a better feel for it, the rule book is online with all the categories and will make more sense.
Enjoy!
Thanks for the info. I did finally find the rule book......looks like .22s as a second is a null idea. I got a .44mag already, i'll just find another (but newer for some of the other things like rapid firing) i will def check out for some local groups (i am in central Virginia) i may just have to do some driving. Not much here in Fredericksburg......plenty of places to shoot but no "cowboy" groups.There are several different shooting disciplines that use cowboy/Western guns. The largest is the Single Action Shooting Society. I’ve been shooting SASS matches for ten years and having a blast.
The website is www.sassnet.com where you can find affiliated clubs organized by state. You can also download the Shooters Handbook.
I enjoy introducing new folks to the sport. My advice is to find a local club and come out to a local match. There’s no charge for hanging out. Bring eye and ear protection. Here in the Southeast we shoot year round. In colder climes some clubs suspend matches during the Winter or even shoot on indoor ranges. The poor blighters.
Cool thanksMy understanding is that Ruger sponsors matches around the U.S. and just about everyone (young and old) uses Ruger .22 pistols. These are not cowboy action shoots but I've watched clips of them and seems everyone has a great time and some of the youngsters are incredible.
