Who Are We?
The North Alabama Regulators is a Cowboy Action Shooting Club located in North Alabama. The purpose of our club is:
 |
To promote the sport of Cowboy Action Shooting. |
|
To communicate the rich traditions of the Old West. |
|
To foster the development of honesty, good fellowship, self-discipline, team play, and self reliance which are the essentials of good sportsmanship and the foundation of true patriotism. |
|
To teach and promote safe handling and the proper care of firearms in the friendly spirit of competition. |
|
To promote shooting sports as a family recreation. |
We are affiliated with the Single Action Shooting Society (SASS). SASS is an international organization created to preserve and promote the sport of Cowboy Action Shooting, which is the fastest growing outdoor shooting sport in the country. Today SASS has over 70,000 members including men, women and children of all ages.
All club members must be SASS members and are encouraged to be NRA Members. Non-members are welcome to shoot with us at any regular shoot.
We Dress The Part
Costuming is an important part of
Cowboy Action Shooting. We dress the part. Participants dress in
period clothing typical of the 1800's or B Western movies. You'll
see everyone from the trail rider to the town preacher to the B western movie
star. Don't be surprised to see a saloon girl or two, along with lots of
other cowgirls.
Firearms
We shoot firearms
typical of the period after the
Civil War and before 1899 including
single action revolvers, lever action rifles, and either double barrel, lever
action, or 1897 pump shotguns. Contestants use either smokeless
powder or black powder.
A typical monthly match includes four to six stages. A stage is a storyline for a short shooting activity such as a bank robbery, a jailbreak, a town shootout, a hanging, or a disturbance in Pearl's Parlor House. Most stages include shooting two pistols, a rifle and a shotgun.
Our Town
Currently our cowboy
town consists of Major Dundee's Mercantile, Desoto Jim's Barbershop,
People's State Bank, Two Ponies Saloon, Pearl's Parlor House, the Sheriff's Office, the
gallows, the cemetery, the moving target stage, and the corral. We have an actual log cabin also
built by club members. See photos of our town.
Breakfast and lunch are available under the big pavilion where we hang out.
