Classic Cowboy
With the growing interest in this category, a level
playing field is required amongst all clubs. The AFS will require Classic
Cowboy/Cowgirl to be shot according to SASS rules. For those who are not SASS
members or do not have access to the requirements,
they are right here:
Note: Only juniors may shoot as Juniors. Only females may shoot as Ladies.
Only seniors may shoot as Seniors. There are no men's categories. No competitor
is compelled to shoot in one of these categories by reason of his or her age or
gender. A competitor may compete in any category for which they qualify based on
the firearms they are using.
