Cowboy Action!

Hey all,

Completed my second cowboy action match today and it was a blast. Five different stages, steel plates from 10 to 25 meters and the general idea is to send lead downrange as quickly and as accurately as possible using two single-action revolvers, a shotgun and a lever-action. It's without a doubt the most fun I've ever had on the range and I'm looking forward to the next match! Anyways, here are a few pictures of what Canadians get up to when it's not hunting season - yours truly in the plaid and cowboy hat on the Winchester 1883.

Full gallop, lever gun...be great fun...almost as accurate as an AR15 on a bench rest.

Got no bloody teeth...you cant be a cheeky cunt all your life and keep your teeth as well.
I see by those photos that the bigger the belly the longer the arms have to be to reach the pistol.

Good to know I'd be able to keep it up in NZ! Best times at this shoot were 20-25 seconds but most of us averaged around a minute for 10 rifle rounds, 10 pistol rounds and 3-5 shotgun shells.

Cowboy nationals are on in Ashburton and a couple of weeks. 5-9 Nov.

Great fun to watch!

30 30 isn't a cowboy gun. 45 colt, 44 40 are.
