This type of shooting originated in southern California in the early 1980s, but now matches are being held all over the United States and in several foreign countries. One is "cowboy" type action shooting wherein the competitors shoot single action revolvers, lever action rifles, and vintage style shotguns. One of the causes of this was the introduction and fantastic growth of several new shooting sports. In fact, my own opinion is that in the modern firearms scene one of the areas of greatest growth is in actually using the older cartridge guns (and replicas thereof) in their many obsolete chamberings. History is always popular with a large segment of people, and for those who are both firearms and history oriented it is only natural to try to understand the capabilities and limitations of the guns related to any given era. ![]()
