Newbie Cowboy Shoot Pics!

[martin08]

My nephew, brother in law and I had our first taste of SASS Cowboy Shooting today at the Wilton Fish and Game Club in Wilton, Maine.

Nephew and the Mrs with one of the props.

Making sure I'm not dead.

Guns and ammo provided. No shortage here. All single action revolvers, lever guns, pump and double barrel shotguns need to be era specific, approx 1850's to 1910's or replicas.

Some Sponsors of the shoot. This was not SASS sanctioned, but rather an introduction to our area to familiarize newbies and potential members.

Nephew is up!

My brother in law at the ready.

Damn weasel is at it agai..... er, Nephew's up again.

The secret is to load your own gun. A couple of times the revolvers got shorted a round by the sponsors.... oops. That's me shooting.

Three stages were shot with 72 shots total. Only 4 misses for me!

LUNCH!!!!

A grande time was had by all.

I shot Cowboy Action Shooting for years. It was beyond fun for a long time. I got to play cowboy with real guns. It was like a dream come true.

I love those old guns!

That looks like a GREAT time!

That looks like a great event!
These intro events with guns and ammo provided are a great way to get people into the shooting sports. I attended a similar event in the spring to introduce people to trap shooting. I had my own 12ga within a week and I get over to the Pelham F&G for open trap as often as I can.
Excellent job Wilton F&G!

Yeah, events like this are probably good for gun sales.

My nephew was a real natural. He even shot one round completely clean. I'd be surprised if he didn't have a pair of single action .45 replicas very soon!

He already had a coach gun search in the works.

Thats a great replica of a Concord coach, It looks like Amos T,s. We had a real one at the Regional shoot in Pelham last July. Every cowboy shooter was getting thier picture taken with it

Amos T's it is!

He's not only a great Cowboy, he's a great guy as well. He put a lot of time, effort and money into this introduction shoot. All with enthusiasm and a smile!

If you all liked those pic so much. Come on out and see a match, But I'll warn you, it's more fun to actually shoot the match than watch one.
