COWBOY ACTION SHOOTING 
Contestants compete with firearms typical of those used in the taming of the Old West: single action revolvers, pistol caliber lever action rifles, and old time shotguns. The shooting competition is staged in a unique,  "Old West" style. It is a timed sport based on how fast and accurately the scenarios are shot. Each participant is required to adopt a shooting alias and outfitting appropriate to a character or profession of the late 19th century, a Hollywood western star, or an appropriate character from fiction.
