Cowboy Action this Saturday

Hey All,

It is that time again already.  This upcoming Saturday is the Third 
Saturday of the month and thus cowboy action.
Set-up begins at 9:00.  Shooting starts shortly there after.

Fine Print stuff

We meet down in the pistol pits, the third Saturday of every month. Bring a 
pair of single action revolvers, a lever gun shooting pistol cartridges 
(shooting cast lead bullets only no jacketed stuff), and an old 
side-by-side shotgun (shooting 7-1/2 shot or smaller). If you do not have 
any of this stuff, come anyway as we are always happy to share and carry 
piles of spare ammo!

Basic Rules: all bullets are only lead & under 1000 fps for pistol, 1400 
for rifle. This is because gas checks & jackets can ricochet off the steel 
targets, and faster bullets damage the targets. Regular lead slugs just 
splat harmlessly. The cowboy loads are round nose flat points, but 
semi-wadcutters usually work fine too. You don't want to put anything 
pointed (including round nose) in a lever gun tube magazine! For shotgun, 
any 7 1/2 or 8 target loads are ideal. There is no advantage to heavier 
loads or bigger shot, and again target damage & ricochet would become 
problems. No steel shot!!!!

You do need eye and ear protection even to watch in case there is some 
splatter & it's a club rule anyway. Come ready to shoot, we're pretty 
easygoing & will help you get started safely.
