Cowboy Action Shooting, as run by SASS, the Single Action Shooting Society, is a four gun event. You need two sixshooters, a lever action rifle in a pistol caliber (doesn't have to be the same as the revolvers, but it is convenient) and a double barrel or hammer pump shotgun.
Look up your area prices on Ruger Vagueros, Marlin 94 rifles, and Stoeger/IGA or Baikal shotguns and you can see what it will cost him for guns. Plus a holster rig for the revolvers and reasonably period looking clothes. $1500 or more, I suspect.

Fast draw is NOT ALLOWED in CAS. You obviously want to draw and shoot in a hurry but real fast draw techniques are considered unsafe with live ammunition.

If your pard wants to shoot real fast draw, that is a separate outfit. They shoot either blanks or wax bullets for safety, because they are doing some rather oddball techniques very quickly and things can go wrong in a hurry if you outrun your ability.
