Many people will tell you that in order to keep cowboy sport action shooting going in the west, the Single Acting Shooting Society (SASS) was instituted. And note: cowboy action sport shooting is not very new. In fact it started quite sometime back

The chief purpose of this society is to keep alive the cowboy action shooting in present times. It tries to maintain its popularity by organizing contests and tournaments among different western regions. It also helps participants at the World Championship matches after the training is over.

All those who are a part of SAAS have to follow certain rules and regulations in lieu of which the SASS protects the rights of the cowboys as found in the 2^nd Amendment.

1) The primary goal of the society is to bring back the charm of the good old Texas and in doing so they need to role play a specific personality or profession that was in vogue in earlier times. Each member portrays a different character with different costumes which help in distinguishing them from one and another. The design of the costume plays a very significant role and sometimes it becomes more important and appealing than the entire shooting game itself.

2) Players get so involved in role play that some even choose to use other types of weaponry which may include guns, pistols, revolvers and rifles. Then players use these artilleries to attack their foes.

3) The basic foundation of this game is the sportsmanship attitude. Players are required to follow certain terms and conditions as was in the olden days. The players need to be really sporting and professional so that they can perform their best and can easily do what it takes to be the winner in the game.

4) A player has to put on designer costumes so that the spirit of the game is still alive even in present times.

The most popular and well liked game till date is the Single Action Shooting game which is the most popular game among every SAAS enthusiast. In this particular game, the payer is required to ride across a field among six guns’ shots.
