Cowboy Small Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I'm very excited about getting into CAS. I have all my guns (shot my vaqueros today at lunch for the first time). Loaded a bunch of 38's. I will be shooting with the Tejas Caballeros this Saturday. I still need some of the stuff, but I have what I need to make some noise and have some fun. Thanks to Phantom and Dragon Hill Dave for the time and attention (and ammo) given to the newbie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krazy Kajun Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Cowboy, welcome to SASS...I see where you now have the same sickness everyone else around here has. But it ok, there is a treatment (shooting often and fast), just not a cure! Like Whiskey I'm new around here too, shot my first match in March. You'll have as much fun as your wallet will allow!!

Tom Bullweed Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Welcome to the best thing out there. Go slow, be safe and enjoy your first match. I know that the cowboys in your area are probably just as welcoming as the ones that I have shot with over the southeast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Dave Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Welcome and have fun. Take it slow and easy as you get a feel for the game. Hang on and enjoy the ride. Grizz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Shadow Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 WARNING!!!! Cowboy action shooting can be addictive!!! Symptoms include: Overspending on guns, reloading equipment, leather, leather supplies, costuming. Intensive reloading study and practice. Hours spent snap capping at family portraits on the wall. Staying up all hours watching every western in your collection, trying to develop a CAS personna. Obsessive cart designing and building. Not to mention eye and wrist strain from SASS Wire Forum"ing". Followed by pistol, rifle, and shotgun "action" quality insecurity, costume "rule" confusion, and large shooting club envy. Just to name a few. I shot my first stage at an indoor shoot in March, and shot 2 matches with the local club since, and haven't been able to pry the smile off my face yet. My advice as a newby is, have fun, enjoy the wonderfull folks, and shoot like you don't care. It's more fun than person should be allowed to have. "Who knows..."
