Coach Gun Cowboys
What Are Coach Gun Cowboys (CGCs)?
The CGCs are active members within the cowboy society. We created our posse to preserve and promote the sport of Cowboy Action Shooting (CAS), the Single Action Shooting Society (SASS) and the cowboy way of life within modern society.
Cowboy Action Shooting
Cowboy Action Shooting (CAS, also known as western action shooting, single action shooting, Cowboy 3 Gun, Western 3-gun) is a competitive shooting sport that originated in Southern California in the early 1980s, at the Range in Norco, CA. Cowboy action shooting is now practiced in many places with several governing organizations including the Single Action Shooting Society (SASS), Western Action Shootists Association (WASA), and National Congress of Old West Shooters (NCOWS), Western 3-Gun as well as others in the U.S. and other countries.
CAS is a type of multi-gun match utilizing a combination of handgun(s), rifle, and/or shotgun in a variety of "Old West-themed" courses of fire for time and accuracy. Participants must dress in appropriate theme or era "costume" as well as use gear and accessories as mandated by the respective sanctioning group rules.
Product Reviews
CGC reviews products in an unbiased manner for CAS participants informational purposes, cowboy life style product information and for general information. Some of the products we review and test are provided to us by vendors at no cost. However we give honest feed back to the vendor and our readers regarding the product testing. Check on The Cowboy Journal (blog) for reviews of products we use to keep traditions alive.

Single Action Shooting Society
Single Action Shooting Society is an international membership organization formed in 1987 to preserve and promote the sport of Cowboy Action Shooting. SASS serves as the governing and sanctioning organization for CAS and Wild Bunch Action Shooting world-wide to ensure safety and consistency in the sport. SASS members share a common interest in preserving the history of the old west and competitive shooting in a safe, fun, family-friendly environment.
