R.U.C.A.S. (Renton United Cowboy Action Shooters)

**Cowboy Action Shooting** is a multi-faceted shooting sport in which contestants compete with fi****ms typical of those used in the taming of the Old West: single action revolvers, pistol caliber lever action rifles, and old time shotguns. It is a timed sport in which shooters compete for prestige on a course of different shooting scenario stages. Each scenario, as they are called, features an ar

ray of situations, many based on famous incidents or movies scenes, in which the shooters must test their mettle against steel targets. "The Spirit of the Game." It is a code by which we live. Competing in "The Spirit of the Game," which some call "good sportsmanship," means you fully participate in what the competition asks. You try your best to dress the part, use the appropriate competition tools, and respect the traditions of the Old West. Live the "Spirit of the Old West!"

One of the unique aspects of SASS approved Cowboy Action Shooting™ is the requirement placed on costuming. Each participant is required to adopt a shooting alias appropriate to a character or profession of the late 19th century, a Hollywood western star, or an appropriate character from fiction. Their costume is then developed accordingly. Regardless of a SASS member's individual area of interest, SASS events provide regular opportunities for fellowship and fun with like-minded folks and families.
