Wartrace Cowboys: Buckhorn Saloon And Museums

Cowboy Action Shooting

I was introduced to Cowboy Action Shooting in 2005 by a good friend ( now deceased) Cowboy Butch aka Butch Powell. Since that first shoot in Feb. 05 I've found that this is the most fun I've ever had while shooting. I shoot with the Watrace Regulators in Wartrace Tennessee. SASS, Single Action Shooting Society, is the governing body of this sport.

At a monthly match we typically shoot 5 Stages (courses of fire). At each stage we shoot 2 single action revolvers, a lever action, or pump action rifle, and a double barrel, lever action or pump action (1897 Winchester or clone only) shotgun.

All of our guns are of a design made prior to 1900.

I hope you enjoy the pictures I've posted and if you're interested in Cowboy Action Shooting click on one of the links above and come out and watch a shoot near you.

Thanks

Buckhorn Saloon And Museums

We had lunch one day at the Buckhorn Saloon. They have a cafe, bar and museums upstairs including a Texas Ranger Museum (most of which was behind glass cases and wouldn't photograph very well) and a very large collection of about any kind of animal (Taxidermy) you could think of.

The first several pictures you see are made from Rattlesnake rattles, it seems the founder of the saloon would trade Rattles for a drink, looks like he made lots of trades.

You can easily spend a few hours looking around their museums.
