CMSA is a class based competition, so you compete against your own level.
Classes include Wrangler Limited (WRL under the age of 10) and Wrangler Open
(WRO 10 – 11 year olds), 6 Adult Classes, and 6 Senior classes. Each class has
men and women competing separately for a total of 40 classes from raw
beginner to World Champion. Start competing against others at your level and
work your way up by winning.
We use single action revolvers of .45 Colt caliber, designed prior to 1898, or
reproductions. These include Colt Single Action Army or Bisley Model, Smith &
Wesson Schofield, Russian, or Remington Models 1875 & 1890, their
reproductions and Ruger Vaqueros, Bisleys or Montados. We use a blank
ammunition to break balloons on a timed course. The fastest time, after adding
penalties, wins!
