Capt Baylor also has another great introduction to Cowboy shooting:
WHEN AND WHERE DO YOU GUYS SHOOT IN THE CENTRAL GEORGIA AREA?
There are several other monthly CAS matches in the Central Georgia area hosted by various CAS clubs. Below is a summary of the information and web links.
All of these matches are open to new shooters. A new shooter orientation is provided if you let the coordinators know who you are. If you like, first time shooters may assigned to a posse with an experienced local shooter as a mentor, to assist you at the stages. If you need to share a guncart or need a loaner gun, please let someone in charge know when you arrive, so arrangements can be made. It is generally not a problem.. this is a very "neighborly" sport and most everyone treats newcomers like old friends.. it's part of "the Spirit of the Game."
