Cowboy Action Shooting - What Is It?

Greetings

Your RRCo Marshals want to welcome you the the 2023 Cowboy Action Shooting season. Come on out and make some new Pards in the best shooting sport around. Observe, ask questions, and be prepared to be addicted. Come for the shooting, but stay for the camaraderie. Current RRCo members are needed as volunteers for some aspect of each match. Please do your part to pitch in.

Monthly Match 2023 - UPDATES

Rivanna Ranger Company has an action packed, fun filled 2023 season in store. Plans are in the works for a rolling steel target, vertical gun staging, and a fort. That's right.....think US cavalry. New Rangers have volunteered to write stages for our matches. And, we'll be trying a few matches where you choose the format for your match. Shoot the 6 stages traditional, Wild Bunch, Josey Wales, Wild West or Outlaw, depending on the month. WATCH THIS SPACE monthly for details.

Cowboy Action Shooting - Is it for me?

What is cowboy action shooting?  A celebration of the Old West. Shootists adopt a period alias, dress in western costume, and shoot single action revolvers, pistol caliber lever rifles, and side by side, pump or lever shotguns. Shooting is on the clock with penalties for misses and procedural errors. We schedule ten matches per year - 6 stages each match. 

Newbies - Want to try cowboy action shooting? You don't need the period clothes, alias, or old guns & ammo. Visitors and observers are always welcome at our monthly shoots. You can come out and shoot our guns and ammo. We will set you up for a trial stage or two after the match. Bring your best cowboy attitude, and your eye and ear protection.
