So far in the month of August, Chickie and I have shot three matches. Each one had the same overall lesson. "Shoot the stage in front of me." Bucky Buckskin, Arcadia Outlaw, Christian Mortician, Shelleen, Cypress Sam, Fireball, Delta Glen, and Santa Fe River Stan have all said something similar to me at least once this month. You’d think I would have learned my lesson in less than 16 stages, but I did not.

Here is a new shooters packet we created to make it a little easier to digest when first starting out. We have gathered the most important sections of the handbook and the rules as well as some other helpful info. If you are going to print this out, print on both sides of the paper so it isn't so big.
As you become more experienced in CAS you should read through the entire Shooters Handbook.
Better yet, take the SASS ROI course and get taught about the rules and operations of our game by an ...

I shoot with CAS Clubs all over the Sunshine State. I am from Southeast Florida where our mean winter low is 41° and, hence, why so many people retire to this area. Summer dress code is always a hot topic down here which is debated in person, on social media, and the wire ad infinitum. Let’s face it, Florida has an extreme blend of heat, humidity, and unrelenting sun not found in many other places. Are there locales that are hotter temperature wise? Of course. Are their regions that posses...

This spotlight and the next are going to focus on fairly new shooters. Midwest Hale has been at it for about 3 years now and has come a long way rather quickly. Go to We The People Munnitions and use the code Hale5 for 5% off your order. I'm sure her sponsors would appreciate that. Lets dive in and see what she had to say.

As we peruse the other SASS Facebook Groups we are very glad to see many new people interested in joining SASS. But we see a similar theme time and again from these potential shooters. They want to wait to attend a match until they are fully geared up and outfitted. This is the first mistake too many new shooters make when joining our great sport. We will address a few of these reasons in this article. Feel free to comment on anything we may have missed or from a different perspective. I hope we...

It's that time again. Cassalong Hopidy from the Red Hill Rangers in north Florida took the time to answer the questions in the spotlight this week. Traditional is fast Deilest is coolest but gunfighters make it look cool! here is what he had to say.

I live in Tallahassee, Florida, a beautiful little town that was even prettier when I moved here in 1969, probably because there were only about 35,000 souls here then and it’s now nearly 10 times mo...

We are going to try and keep an accurate schedule for everyone if they would still like to attend matches. We have reached out to as many Match Directors as we can and will be in constant contact with them about the status of their matches. If you are an MD, TG, etc. and would like to keep us updated we will maintain this schedule for anyone interested in attending. Any help is appreciated. Just comment on this post with updates, send us a message, or contact The OTJ with updates as they become ...

For this week’s Shooter Spotlight, we’re back down south to Florida. I am lucky to get to shoot with this young lady even though watching her run her shotgun makes me feel like less of a man. She is part of The Cracker Crew and you have probably seen her videos. Let see what Hawkeye Gin had to say.

This weeks spotlight is a nice polite young man from the frozen tundra or what everyone else call Canada. He's a fast shooter but he couldn't escape the ASN Bounty Hunt at EOT 2019. I personally, took him off the streets of Founders Ranch for a couple minutes before he made a break for it and shot a very fine match. Let's get to know Whistling Will.

2019 was my first full calendar year in Cowboy Action Shooting. It was a year full of new beginnings both for Chickie and myself. When 2019 started, I was only 4 months into my CAS career and had a mere 13 matches under my gunbelt. By the end, I've shot over 90 matches including 6 annuals. Chickie was still months away from her first match at the dawn of the year. I'd not even gotten all of my guns or gear and Chickie hadn't even started (besides her costumes) to get outfitted. It seems li...

If you have shot a big annual match or some of the monthlies here in Florida, you have probably met my pal. He is the spirit of this game, always happy to see ya and has his merry band of tree huggers. We pointed the spotlight at Realtree this week. This is what he had to say.

I thought I would try something different this month with the blog and do a shooter spotlight. I figured we could pick a member and ask a few questions to get to know them better. If Y'All like it, we can do it once or twice a month. Let me know in the comments if you think this is fun and who you would want to see in the spotlight. This month is Santa Fe River Stan, a Florida cowboy and member of The Cracker Crew. A crack pot and a crack shot. Here is what he had to say.
When did you st...

Let me start by thanking Branchwater Jack, Marshall TKD, Buck D Law, Barkeep Casey and anyone else that volunteered their time and hard work on Ambush at Cavern Cove. The weather made it extra challenging and you guys pulled it off. My first time to your range, hats off. The festivities at the range on Friday night were fun and the food was good. The awards and dinner were in a very nice facility with a spectacular view off the very large patio. Madame Moog and I had a great time and will be re...

This month was less than stellar for the Moog. Madame Moog on the other hand had a great month. Scoring her very first clean match at The Hernando County Regulators monthly and making some of the best runs on stages since she started shooting. Not that Shoulda Dun Gun took it easy on her either, using her little red plate nemisis. Keep it up Madame Moog, I know your fan club will be cheering for ya.
There is something going on with my rifle, I cant seem to get 10 rounds out smoothly. At the ...

This was a topic that was posted over in our SASS Florida Group on Facebook and my reply was very long so I decided to make a blog out of it.
I am a born and raised Florida native and when I was a kid of about 6 years old my uncle takes me out to a hunting ground. He tells me that he wants to let me shot this big gun called a muzzle loader. He pulls out this monstrosity of a gun that was twice as long as I was. Turns out it was a .58 caliber with something like a 40" barrel.

This past weekend I shot with the Weewahootee Vigilance Committee if you want to call it shooting. I picked up Shelleen and we started west on I4. The sun was coming up and very little traffic made me think “what a nice way to spend a Saturday”. We talked about what happened on WestWorld and there were a few “wait, what's” from me as Shelleen was breaking it down for me. I guess I’ll need to watch the last EP again. Got our grub and pulled on to the range.
Set up our carts, said our good...

We started driving Thursday morning for the Florida State CAS Championship. Was a perfect day for a drive too. We hit I-10 and I thought we were almost there… nope another 100 miles to go. we did make it there though and driving on to the range I gotta say was very nice. To see the CAS props and then the shooters, it don’t really matter where you go to shoot it always kinda feels like home. We signed in got our pack from even more familiar faces.
Thanks to Cas, Holler, Shamrock Sadie and the ...

The Ides of March came and went this year and as always it was a great match. A good combination of people and location will do that. I would like to give a job and I do mean JOB well done to Arcadia Outlaw, Greta D, Brucester Diamond and Wildcard Willow. The set up crew deserves recognition as well, unfortunately I don’t know everyone that helped set up, but I really do appreciate the hard work. Without you we probably would not be playing this game. 10 stages of targets, tables, props, canopie...

This past weekend was my first match as match director for the Antelope Junction Rangers. I got to the range started laying out carpets and getting ready to go as people started showing up. Made the sign up sheet added the shooters to the electronics and started the match.
There is defiantly more work than loading up your stuff and heading to the range to shoot. I have some plans for AJR, I’m going to make some props like, fences, hitchin posts, cactuses and cow boy cut outs. If you have any...

I haven’t blogged in a while, been busy with the holidays, shooting and a couple trips thrown in there. I thought about it this morning and thought I’d catch up. I will be the new match director for the Antelope Junction Rangers starting January 2018. Horace E Rider has been a great MD and has always had a passion for CAS and his club. I hope I can take over and do half as good.
I purchased a laser engraver and made some clean match badges for some of the clubs I shoot at. I claimed one for s...

Madame Moog and I made through IRMA with no major damage. The cleanup was faster than getting power back on though. The storm cancelled the AJR match and The Lake County Pistoleros match as well as people were still recovering. I had booked a trip to Pennsylvania to shoot with my dad at his local match but the first flight was canceled. We cleaned up and Madame Moog rebooked my flight so I did get to shoot last weekend. The Titusville PA Sportsman Club has challenging match once a month. The tar...

This past Sunday I shot with the Roughshod Raiders in Gainesville Florida. And it was as one of the starting lines was “Hot and Sticky”. It rained about 90% of the way to the range then stopped long enough for us to get in 6 stages and then it started again. It’s a bit of a drive for me but riding with my shooting buddy Shelleen made the trip go by faster, we talk about what we have been doing for practice, who John Snow is and stuff like that.
We got to the range and set up our carts did our...

This past weekend I shot at the Lake County Pistoleros monthly match. After 4 weeks of no shooting the rust had built up a little. It was warm when we started and got hotter from there. But at least this range is shaded. The stages were well written and fun to shoot. Some of the starting line made the Posse Marshall blush ad we all got a laugh out of that.
My first stage i think i was ready for it, 21 seconds. I had a couple 20 second stages, still trying to shoot sub 20 second stage and it f...
