Main Match Category Definitions:
OWSA shooting categories are different from other cowboy shooting organizations. The time period we represent is from 1865 through 1895, therefore; any guns developed or improved after 1895 will be considered “modern” guns.
TRADITIONAL: Pre-1896 weapons or replicas (pistol, rifle and shotgun) smokeless or blackpowder
MODERN: Pistols with adjustable sights. Shotguns with ejectors (1897). Any rifle pre-1896
BLACKPOWDER: All guns (pistol, rifle, and scattergun) must shoot blackpowder (or pyrodex)
PLAINSMAN: Cap & ball handgun. Double barrel shotgun with outside hammers. Pre-1874 rifle (repeater) blackpowder/pyrodex
DUELIST: Handgun is shot one handed.
