ROCKY RIVER REGULATORS
Welcome to the web page of the DSC’s “Rocky
River Regulators”. We would like to invite you to join in one of the hottest
growing sports ......Cowboy Action Shooting (CAS). Unlike most other shooting
disciplines, Cowboy Action Shooting is not only a test of skill, but also a
chance to dress up and “play cowboy”. Entire families of shooters,
in full period dress, toting authentic and reproduction cowboy firearms, turn
out to meet and compete.
During the past few years, membership in DSC’s
Rocky River Regulators has grown, and the town of Rocky River, an honest to
goodness western town, has sprung up near the banks of the Clinton River in
DSC’s James Delaney Park. All year round, rain or shine, monthly Cowboy
Action Shooting matches take place in Rocky River. Everyone is welcome to compete,
or just stop by and watch a match or two.
(Please
remember that DSC Range Safety Rules require that everyone on any DSC
Range, must have eye and ear protection, and must wear them).
EQUIPMENT
Cowboy Action Shooting has become a very popular sporting
event that is as much fun to watch as it is to shoot! Equipment requirements
include (2) two single action revolvers with holsters, a shotgun and a rifle
that shoots “revolver” ammo. Targets consist of steel plates and
poppers. We have both cowboys and cowgirls of all ages that dress up and come
to DSC to shoot in our monthly matches.
(Note:
Revolver velocities must be below 1000 fps, rifle velocities must be
below 1400 fps, and shotgun must use #4 or smaller shot, #71/2 shot recommended.
No Magnum loads are allowed in this sport. Lead bullets only!)
PRACTICE
The Rocky River Regulators hold weekly practice sessions
to allow shooters to hone their skills in Cowboy Action Shooting. Practices

Delaney Park. See the "R.O. Schedule" link for details.

month come rain or shine. See the "Schedule of Matches" link for details.
