The mounted shooters shoot blanks at balloons, we shoot real bullets at steel.

What you have in pistol and shotgun would be fine. Always rifles to lend at every shoot. Come on and make some noise. Only about 12% of the Cowboy Shooters shoot black powder and a much smaller percentage shoot cap and ball, we are just louder. Trail Boss was invented for CAS.

Go to SASSnet.com. Open Members. On a bar across the page is affiliated clubs. Click on the state you want and the SASS clubs in that state will come up. There are 3 Iowa clubs and 8 MN clubs listed. Look around at the bordering states and there are a bunch. I know it's not next door but there are 3 MAJOR shoots at the World Shooting Complex in Sparta Ill. These are super shoots with up to 300+ shooters. Not a good place to start but a good place to see what it's all about.
Call the numbers listed on the clubs closest to you for more information on shoot times etc. Tell them you are a newbie.
