More Information
Instructed by 2 Time World Champion Joe Alesia, aka - Left LongRidge AGI has a new Cowboy Action Shooting Course featuring Two Time World Champion Lefty Longridge.
This SASS and Cowboy 3-Gun World Champion (AKA Sergeant Joe Alesia, Los Angeles County Sheriffs Deputy, Tactical Instructor and Training Supervisor) takes you through a basic training course in the most popular and fastest growing shooting game in the World - Cowboy Action Shooting.
As Lefty says, "This is a fantasy sport. For those of us who grew up watching the adventures of Wyatt Earp, Wild Bill Hickock, Roy Rodgers, Gene Autry, Wagon Train, Gunsmoke and Rawhide, this is like having died and gone to Cowboy Heaven." You not only get to choose an Old West name, and dress up like your favorite cowboy hero, but you get to shoot their cowboy guns in family friendly competition! It just doesn't get much better than that and still be legal. You can show up at your local cowboy club on any given Sunday with no equipment or experience and the members will loan you guns and ammo and coach you through your first course of fire. These are the friendliest and most helpful people in the shooting sports, according to those who know. Once you've fired your first match with borrowed equipment you'll be hooked forever. You'll even be home free with your wife because as soon as she sees the neat Victorian clothes worn by the other women, your bank account will be in serious jeopardy!
Joe takes the time to go into serious detail about the history, clothes, equipment, and match action in cowboy action shooting. You will get a champion's (and highly sought after trainer's) tips on selecting guns and leather, as well as the actual shooting. Learn the proper stance, sighting, grip, trigger control, and target engagement. Learn how to overcome the most common impediments to competitive scoring. Besides covering the basics of shooting the handguns, rifles, and shotguns of the sport, Lefty is even gracious enough to teach those he considers to be "afflicted with the too common birth defect of being right handed" the proper methods of combat loading the ubiquitous model '97 Winchester pump shotgun.
