SASS or The
Single Action Shooting Society is an international organization created
to preserve and promote the sport of Cowboy Action Shooting™. It
promulgates rules and procedures to ensure safety and consistency in
Cowboy Action Shooting matches. SASS members share a common interest in
preserving the history of the Old West and competitive shooting. Cowboy
Action Shooting™ is a multifaceted amateur shooting sport in which
contestants compete with firearms typical of those used in the taming of
the Old West: single action revolvers; lever action rifles; and side by
side double barreled, pre-1899 pump, or lever action shotguns. The
shooting competition is staged in a unique, characterized, Old West
style. American history buffs and serious shooters alike agree the use
of vintage firearms, authentic costuming, unique targets, and fast
action make Cowboy Action Shooting™ one of the most interesting of all
shooting sports for both spectator and contestant. You do not have to be
a SASS member to be in Cowboy Action Shooting and shoot at our range but
there are some marches that do require SASS membership to participate
in, such as the SASS North Dakota and South Dakota State Championships
hosted by the Sheyenne Valley Peacekeepers at Enderlin, ND.
This is by far the safest shooting sport you will ever encounter. Cowboy Action Shooting places fun second only to safety so bring the family for an afternoon, If you don't have guns, well there a usually a few cowboys around to help ya out. Come out and join us!
The Trestle Valley Rangers are SASS Affiliated Cowboy Action Shooters from the Minot Rifle Pistol Club
