Coming 2025- Cowboy Action Shooting:
In early 2025, LCSA will offer monthly Cowboy Action Shooting matches on the 4th Saturday of the month. Cowboy Action Shooting is a multi-faceted shooting sport in which contestants compete with firearms typical of those used in the Old West: Single Action Revolvers, pistol caliber lever action rifles, and old time shotguns. Similar to other shooting sports involving props and steel targets, contestants are timed in staged scenarios using all four firearms in designated orders and patterns against the steel targets. It’s a safe, fun and family friendly competitive sport that’s both thrilling and skill driven.
