About BPP

I have been involved in the fascinating Sport of Cowboy Action Shooting since 2007 I shot my first Cowboy Action Match in June of 2007 at the Bristol Plains Pistoleros CAS Club in southeastern Wisconsin.

My involvement with Cowboy Action Shooting started with a trip to a local Rifle Range to watch my son sight in his Deer Rifle in November of 2005. The last time I fired a high-powered Rifle was in Army boot camp in 1959. I did some small game hunting for a few years during the mid seventies. I owned a couple of Shotguns and a .22 Ruger 10-22 Rifle. I sold those Firearms when I started a business in 1980.

I've always been interested in the Old West and this outing with my son rekindled my interest in Old West Firearms so I went out and bought a reproduction of an 1851 Navy Colt Percussion Revolver. I then discovered that a Black Powder Pistol could only be fired outdoors so I then purchased a Heritage .22 Single Action Revolver. I then went on the internet and discovered a website called CAS City. This website introduced me to Cowboy Action Shooting and sources to purchase Old West Firearm Reproductions. I then purchased a Cimmaron 1873 USV Single Action Army Colt Reproduction in .45 Colt. I spent the next year practicing my shooting and gun handling, securing additional Firearms and Cowboy Clothing in preparation for my frist Cowboy Action Match. I have learned to do Leather Working, reload my own ammunition, make Pistol Grips, became a SAA Range Officer and most important, learned to safely handle Firearms.

I served as a Co-Match Director for the Bristol Plains Pistoleros (SASS Club) and as the Trail Boss for the Sweetwater Regulators (NCOWS Posse. I was given the honor of writing the stages for several of the NCOWS National matches in Evansville, Indiana.

I have recently retired from competitive shooting but still shoot for recreation
