This blog was inspired by a question I received from Camo Cowboy on Action Shooting Network. “Question for you? Is there info on the types of stages? I am wanting to practice and being new my only set back is learning the stages and how to shoot them. Working on transitions like you show and smoothness. Practicing in garage with fake stands and tables set up.”

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...

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...

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 ...

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...

This will be the first entry into what I plan on having as a weekly or so blog recapping the weekend shoots. This weekend is as good as any to start because it was the first time I have shot in consecutive days.
I am still new to CAS attending my first match in August of last year. I shot after the OK Corral Outlaws monthly match with the Club President Seth Adams but not during the actual match. The first full shoot I had was in September during the Gold Coast Gunslingers Main Match....
