Stoney Creek and the Wentworth Shootist Society Cowboys Would like to
introduce you to the Canadian Cowboy Confederacy
What is SASS?
The "Single
Action Shooting Society" is an international
organization created to preserve and promote the
fast growing sport of Cowboy Action Shooting. It
was created over 20 years ago and boasts 70,000
member. Cowboy Action Shooting is a multifaceted
shooting sport in which contestants compete with
firearms typical of those used in taming the old
west! Single action revolvers, lever action
rifles, side-by-side double barreled pump or
lever action shotguns. Contestants shoot in
several one-to-four gun stages in which they
engage reactive steel and cardboard silhouette
targets. Scoring is based on accuracy and speed.
Each participant is required to adopt a
character or profession of the late 19th century
or a Hollywood western star complete with an
appropriate costume.
What is the
CCC?
The "Canadian Cowboy
Confederacy" was started by a large group of
single-minded Canadian SASS members who wished
to promote the old west style of Cowboy Action
Shooting on Canadian soil. The CCC's motto
"Aimin' to
have fun". This does not take away from
the safety aspects of this discipline. Every
participant is expected to be a safety officer.
Each shooter's first responsibility is for his
or her own safe conduct. ALL shooters are
expected to remain alert to the actions of
others that are unsafe.
