I quit clay shooting when i started Cowboy Action Shooting… I was never really much of a clay shooter: @Hosswill say I’m not much of a cowboy action shooter either! Ha! …But I’d participate in local clay shoot fundraiser matches and occasional family trips to the trap and skeet club a few towns away. I never thought much about the action or the fit of my stock back then. Recently, however, I brought out my Citori and it was exactly as i remembered. Good stiff action with solid trigger pull…. But since starting cowboy action, and having had a proper length of pull and the actions on my shotguns worked over by great gunsmiths, I am not content with my Citori anymore. Its not broken but the LOP is definitely long, it points high for me and the action is stiff to open and close.. with a heavy trigger pull. I wonder if its just that my Cowboy Action Shooting SxS’s ruined my Citori for me? …or…Can my Citori benefit from a trip to a gunsmith for a cowboy style action job? I know I can benefit from a stock fitting, at least a LOP adjustment with a little toe-in to bring the barrels down a bit…. So, anyone have any recommendations for a Citori mechanic to likes of Fast Eddie and Johnny Meadows for Baikal and SKB SxS’s… but for Citori?…

How were you attracted to Cowboy Action Shooting?
El Catorce replied to Dusty Devil Dale's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
I saw a gun vid on youtube with hickock45 talking about it and shooting in a vest and a hat… said go to the website and find the nearest club. I did, and I called @Dream Chaser, SASS #79316 .. first match i only stayed for a few mins but long enough to recognize a friend from church( @Will Kane ) … and the next thing i know im buying his old shotgun which im still shooting today! That was just about three years ago. -
Good stuff?…. as in “faster horses, younger women, older whiskey and more money!”…?
