That's really wild. Could you go into some detail about cowboy action and how it is scored, various events in it, etc?

TNbulldog- PM me and I'll give you some info on cowboy action shooting if you'd like. I do both cowboy matches and 3-gun matches and really enjoy both of them. If you like tho old style cowboy guns and are somewhat interested in history, it is a lot of fun.

Other that the shotgun I couldn't hear a gun fire.


TNBulldog

Cowboy action is set up to be fun, good size targets, not that far away.
With that said how the heck do I miss targets that big that are that close???

It's scored by time, with time added for misses.

Guns & clothes from the "cowboy era"
Two pistols, a rifle & a shotgun

Pistol & rifle between .32 & .45, shotgun 20 up to 10 gauge.

It is fun.

Very nice - that is fast. Now where's PBP? Maybe at the next match, they can use PBP's action figures as targets.
