Intervention Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 Howdy, I just joined SASS and I am interested in getting started in Cowboy Shooting, I am looking for any Clubs in the Los Angeles area. Quote
LostVaquero Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 Welcome Intervention and a big Minnie Pearl style HOWWWWDEEEE! Quote
Goody, SASS #26190 Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 On the SASS Homepage you will find each states affiliated clubs listed. https://www.sassnet.com/clubs/Clubs_list.php?state=California Quote
Hollywood Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 Welcome to Cowboy Shooting - you will have an absolute blast! Goody beat me to giving you the link to CA clubs for you to search. You should be able to find some good local clubs. And you can always make a weekend trip up to the Central Coast (once they get the 101 reopened...) and shoot with us at the beautiful Chorro Valley Regulators range (home of the SASS Western Regionals) on the San Luis Obispo Sportsmans Association site.

Marshal Dan Troop 70448 Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 Welcome, and hopefully we can be of help here. I can see by joining, your addiction has started and you find this the best game in town. Not just shooting, but also the friendship and fellowship that is a great part of CAS. MT Quote
Randy Saint Eagle, SASS # 64903 Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 Welcome to the most fun you can have with you clothes on. Randy Quote
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 Howdy- What part of Torrance are you in? I lived on Cabrillo between Plaza-Del-Amo and Torrance Blvd for a few years, back in the early 1980's. Look at Cajon Cowboys in Devore, and The Cowboys in Norco. If you're up for a drive-Come on up to Double R bar Regulators in Lucerene Vly at the Lyons Club Range as we are shooting this Sunday. OLG Quote
Beartrap SASS#57175 Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 You're in luck! The Cajon Cowboys new shooter class is this Saturday! See the website for details and start the fun! Quote
Intervention Posted January 11, 2018 Author Posted January 11, 2018 Thank you Lumpy Gritz, I am near the El Camino Collage in Torrance. I will check out the 2 places plus yours that you recommended. Quote
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 So you're close to Alondra Park then. Just take the 91 f'way to the 15 North for Cajon Cowboys. http://www.cajoncowboys.com/cajonsown/ OLG Quote
Intervention Posted January 11, 2018 Author Posted January 11, 2018 Yes Sir, a couple of blocks from Alondra Park. Thank you for telling me about the Cajon Cowboys, the SASS website has it near San Luis Obesbo at Cajon Cowboys 15810 Cajon BlvdDevore, CA 93405 I am going shooting in the dessert down in San Diego with my boys this weekend I will check whats happening there the following week or weeks. Thank you Quote
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 Cajon shoots the 2nd and 4th Saturdays and if there is a 5th Saturday, they most likly will shoot. They shoot 6-8 stages. PM Beartrap for finer details. Bring the kids......... OLG Quote
Intervention Posted January 12, 2018 Author Posted January 12, 2018 Thank you Lumpy Gritz and everyone else, I am ready to do this! I know, I need a different Shotgun and a couple of revolvers! 1 down 3 to go Quote
Beartrap SASS#57175 Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 Don't sell that 1911! Cajon also offers a category called "Pike" that's very similar to Wild Bunch and uses the 1911. Quote
Intervention Posted January 12, 2018 Author Posted January 12, 2018 I don't sell anything, especially not the 1911! Quote
Marauder SASS #13056 Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 For some excellent info to read: http://www.curtrich.com/GettingStarted01.html Quote
Intervention Posted January 12, 2018 Author Posted January 12, 2018 Thank you, I found that awhile back and glanced over it, now I will read it carefully. I'll be going to a local club to check things out, meet some people before I buy anything else. Quote
Ace_of_Hearts Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 You are very fortunate to have such a wonderful group of Cowboys and Cowgirls in your area. Attend the shoots..... Bring what ya got....... And meet the best people in the world (Except for me) Quote
Ventura Slim, SASS #35690 Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 Panorama and hole in the wall are at the top of the San Fernando Valley, for your shotgun there is Deadwood Boys out at Piru. Google for more. Quote
Outrider Outlaw Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 Welcome Intervention. We're glad you have joined us. Pull up a chair and tell us a little about yourself--how long you've been shooting, what got you interested in CAS, how you came up with your alias, that sort of thing. And be sure to tell your friends about this great game of ours. Quote
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 OP-Do you reload? Pretty much have to for this gun game. OLG Quote
Intervention Posted January 12, 2018 Author Posted January 12, 2018 Not reloading yet OLG, that's tops on my todo list this year especially now that online ammo is gone! Quote
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 Find a 'mentor' for this- Also decide, what your budget will allow for start up costs-Remember that no one has ever save a penny, with 'cheap' tools. Single stage press is easy to learn with, but OMG, slo...... I load on a Dillon 550 that I bought in 1987. Load everything from .32 S&W up to .45-90. I also load 12ga shotgun, along with .338 Lapua and .50BMG. I started reloading in 1967-Still have my RCBS jr' press that I bought from White Front Dept Store on Hawthorn Blvd in Torrance. OLG Quote
Intervention Posted January 12, 2018 Author Posted January 12, 2018 Roger that OLG, I am a buy once, cry once kinda guy! So no cheap tools here! the Dillion 550 is exactly what I am going to get in a couple of months, and take a couple of classes at the loading store at Angeles. Then I'll ask questions and talk to others to get things dialed in. Looking to load 45ACP. 45 Colt, .308, .556, 12 gage and depending on what route I end up going for SASS either more 45 Colt or .357. I'll figure that all out when I start meeting and talking with people at one of the local SASS clubs. Right now I'm just in the exploring and learning stage, before I go on the spending spree!!!

The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 (edited) The D/550 is the KISS of progressive presses....... I buy all of my bulk reloading supplies here. https://www.powdervalleyinc.com/ They will combine powder and primers into one HAZ-MAT fee, if kept to 48lbs total.
