Land Run 2025 Scores

INTRODUCTION

The sport of Cowboy Action Shooting provides a great opportunity for the entire family to participate and compete in a shooting sport. The Cowboy Action Division is recognized by the Single Action Shooting Society (SASS) as The Territorial Marshals. Cowboy Action Matches are held on the 2nd Saturday and the 4th Sunday of every month, year-round. Monthly match attendance is regularly more than 30 shooters.

ANNUAL MATCHES

In addition to hosting two matches per month, we also host Land Run, The SASS National Championship which is the largest Cowboy Action Shooting match in the world. We had more than 700 shooters from 47 states compete in 2025. The success of this match can be attributed to countless hours of volunteer’s efforts.

COWBOY ACTION SHOOTING

Cowboy Action Shooting is a multifaceted shooting sport in which contestants compete with firearms typical of those used in the taming of the Old West; single action revolvers (calibers .32 to .45), lever action rifles (calibers .25 to .45 long colt), and side-by-side double barrel or pre-1899 pump or lever action shotguns (12, 16 or 20 gauge). One exception, children under 13 are referred to as a Buckaroo and are allowed to use .22s and 410s.

The shooting competition is staged in a unique OLD WEST style. Cowboy attire is required, which is anything from boots and jeans to clothing that personifies a specific western character. (For beginners a long sleeved shirt with buttons or snaps and jeans will do - no tank tops, shorts or ball caps allowed). You will soon discover that part of the fun is the costume and of course the alias. All real Cowboy shooters have an alias (Oklahoma Gunslinger or Flat Top Okie) which should be associated with your costume. You can be a movie star and never have to go to Hollywood.With a variety of shooting categories, some based on shooting styles, some based on costuming, and some age or gender based, there will definitely be a shooting category for you. Cowboy Action Shooting is fast action, fantasy shooting competition.
