1.0 out of 5 stars This book should be titled "How to Reload Ammunition", October 5, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Cowboy Action Shooting (Paperback)

I purchased this book expecting to learn more about Cowboy Action Shooting. In stead I find that approximately 2/3 of the book deals with reloading ammunition. I did not learn anything new about CAS. If you want to lean about CAS this is not going to supply anything meaningfull. If on the other hand you want to learn about reloading ammunition, this book might get you started. I would give this book less than one star if I could!

5.0 out of 5 stars An absolute necessity for the Cowboy Action Shooter., February 27, 1999

By 

Hrabanus Maurus (Houston, TX USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Cowboy Action Shooting (Paperback)

This book is a reference for the Cowboy Action Shooting enthusiast. CAS embraces several aspects of the shooting styles of the late 1800s. Charly has provided lots of photographs of gear--rifles, pistols, shotguns, holsters and gun caddies, as well as plenty of photos of costumes of all types. There are also plenty of references to the names or aliases that various CAS shooters have adopted--an important topic to a Cowboy Action shooter. There is an immense amount of material on blackpowder reloading and on ballisitics and sight pictures--all of which are very important in this sport. Some people who are new to the sport may find this intimidating, but this is not just a handbook, this is a valuable reference. It closes with a brief essay on what separates the cowboy from the rest of humanity--the Cowboy Way--and this, in itself, is the essence of Cowboy Action Shooting.

4.0 out of 5 stars nice book but too involed with the tenichal aspects side, July 19, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Cowboy Action Shooting (Paperback)

good book for a member of sass interested in the reloading proccess of the black powder portion of the sport. not enough for the beginner. aspects to cover for the beginner should have delt with clothing and acoutraments. a nice plus would have been a list of clubs around the country.
