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.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!

Fine Print stuff

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.
