Cowboy Action Shooting, CAS for short, is the fastest growing shooting sport in America as well as the entire world; it includes both men and women plus many children from 12 to 18--this is a true family sport.
Shooters dress in period-clothing and use firearms that were used in the 1880s.
All the shooters go my their alias: a unique
"nickname" that can describe
their Western character, have special,
personal significance or, in some way, relate to their jobs or interests.
One of the most difficult parts of CAS is coming up with an alias but there are
always cowboys ready to lend you a hand. After all that's what CAS is
about: the spirit of helping and sharing that was found in the Old West.
The matches are made up of several shooting events with a written scenario.
The scenarios are western-based scenes that require the shooters to role-play an
old west character in a movie-type setting called a "stage". The
shooter is required to act out the scenario while engaging various targets with
1800-period firearms. Most of the stages will require the shooter to use a
lever
action rifle, a shotgun and one or both revolvers.
The Renegades shooting schedule is in a state of flux at present.
