Forest Gun Germany Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Official Westernshooting Site in Germany: https://www.bdsnet.de/western/western.html And here the Translation with Google translator: Western shooting or internationally "Cowboy Action Shooting" is a dynamic shooting sport, but at the same time also "living history", because it is shot in the historical outfit from the wedding of the cowboys in the late 19th century. Each participant must shoot at targets in a course (stage) in a prescribed sequence for a time. If the targets are not hit or fired on in the wrong order, the shooter will receive a time penalty that will be added to the result. In the end, whoever has the shortest total time wins. A match can include up to 16 different stages and can be spread over several days. Each of these stages has its own individual sequence, targets are at different distances and/or are shot at in a different order, and the four weapons are always used a little differently, all in all very varied and challenging! As a rule, steel targets are fired at, which indicate the hit either as folding targets by falling over or as standing targets (so-called gongs) by a loud >ping<. There are no ring numbers or hit zones as in other shooting disciplines in CAS (Cowboy Action Shooting). In order to ensure the highest level of safety, every shooter must complete a "Safety and Rules Test" (SuRT) before participating in a match. In this course, the budding "cowboy" is taught the security measures necessary for participating in a match. Innovations in the sports handbook (rules) must still be read before each match. There is also some information about this in the FAQs. Weapons from the American pioneer era are used for the CAS. The "Wild West", the period from the beginning of the great cattle treks around 1866 to the 1990s. To participate in a CAS match, each shooter needs two single-action revolvers, a lever-action rifle, and a shotgun from the era. The most famous weapons of the cowboys are undoubtedly the Colt revolver "Single Action Army" and the Winchester rifle 73. Both weapons have even made it to the secret star of many Hollywood films and have become world famous as a result. For "greenhorns" without weapons it is no problem to enter the world of cowboys, rental weapons can be used by many clubs and are also available on request for larger events. BDS clubs where CAS can be tried out and trained can be found here. In Germany, cowboy action shooting is divided into classes 1870, 1880 and 1890, which differ in the choice of weapons and clothing, among other things. Depending on the class, the regulations differ significantly here. However, a plaid shirt, a hat, jeans and boots are sufficient to get started. A description of the various classes with their regulations on weapons and clothing can be found on the following pages, as well as "insider tips" from the reigning German champions. Internationally, CAS is managed by SASS from the USA. The rules of the BDS have been brought closer to those of the SASS in recent years, but they are not identical. Foreign shooters in particular who take part in western matches in Germany must take this into account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subdeacon Joe Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Welcome! Pull up a rock and have a sit by the fire. Always amazes me how people who are fluent in English as a second language are always apologizing to the monoglot Americans for their (supposedly) poor English skills.
