You really should try cowboy shooting sometime. It's a hoot! I believe the style you most likely are referring to is using the off-hand thumb for cocking. It makes aimed shooting go a lot quicker as it doesn't require a reacquisition of your grip for every shot. Just lift your thumb up to the hammer and cock the action and blast away. I usually carry an extra Super Blackhawk just for loaning out in case someone is short a weapon. When I started out, all I had was one applicable single action and rifle. Half a dozen folks offered me the use of their shotguns and so I was able to compete.
Don't worry about outshooting us. It gives us something to razz the borrower about . Seriously though many of the folks here don't much care about their scores (except the top few shooters), they just like to get out and shoot dressed up (or down) in their duds.
