Costume is easy!
I shoot a LOT of different CAS/SASS events. Get you a cheap straw cowboy hat <$20. I use leather lace up boots (no lug soles though). A pare of Wranglers or Levis and a long sleeve western type shirt.
You will be good to go.
As far as the firearms, you will need 2 revolvers. But if you only have one, someone will loan you a second until you get your entire rig.
--------
The competitive spirit is alive and well at most matches. But not everyone is about speed. Many just enjoy the old firearms.
It is truly amazing to see a worldclass CAS shooter using the single actions!
Fast shooting is only half of the issue, transitions between guns uses up alot of your time (just like mag changes in IPSC etc.)

Thats about it. Go to some matches and get to know some of the shooters, they will all be more than happy to help you out. If you are competitve, ask around and find out who the top 2-3 shooters are, then watch them and talk to them after the match. They will set you up and get you started on the right foot. If you're there just to have fun making some noise, you will meet plenty of those types as well.
Good Luck,
AJ
