About this title

Synopsis

The fast-growing sport of cowboy action shooting is enjoyed in hundreds of clubs across America and around the world. These Old West aficionados - members of organizations such as the Single Action Shooting Society - compete with replicas of the single-action revolvers used by the men who tamed the American frontier. This book will not only prepare the novice interested in taking up this sport, but provide valuable insight and expert advice to the intermediate and advanced shooter. Author Charles Stephens (How to Become a Master Handgunner), himself the descendant of Old West gunfighter Wood Hite, shares wisdom gleaned from 40 years of competitive pistol shooting to give cowboy action shooters the winning edge - from selecting the right pistols and gear to mastering the single-action revolver. You'll also hear true stories of the Old West, from why Jesse James was really murdered to the story behind one of the deadliest gunfights of the American West - the Tuttle dance hall massacre in Newton, Kansas. If you've ever longed to step back in time and relive the excitement of our Western heritage, this is the perfect guidebook.
