An absolute necessity for the Cowboy Action Shooter.

This book is a reference for the Cowboy Action Shooting enthusiast. CAS embraces several aspects of the shooting styles of the late 1800s. Charly has provided lots of photographs of gear--rifles, pistols, shotguns, holsters and gun caddies, as well as plenty of photos of costumes of all types. There are also plenty of references to the names or aliases that various CAS shooters have adopted--an important topic to a Cowboy Action shooter. There is an immense amount of material on blackpowder reloading and on ballisitics and sight pictures--all of which are very important in this sport. Some people who are new to the sport may find this intimidating, but this is not just a handbook, this is a valuable reference. It closes with a brief essay on what separates the cowboy from the rest of humanity--the Cowboy Way--and this, in itself, is the essence of Cowboy Action Shooting.

nice book but too involed with the tenichal aspects side

good book for a member of sass interested in the reloading proccess of the black powder portion of the sport. not enough for the beginner. aspects to cover for the beginner should have delt with clothing and acoutraments. a nice plus would have been a list of clubs around the country.
