Cowboy Action World Records

To be considered for a world record, the feat in question must be on video, with the timer in the screen. The timer must show every shot in the string (with the exception of GF - it's quite possible to have shots faster than the timer threshold). The shooter must comply with all aspects of the set forth course of fire. After a record is set, and a video is taken, you must e-mail it to both Lead Dispencer and Doc Shapiro at leaddispencer@yahoo.com and jnshapiro@mindspring.com for approval.

We are only keeping the best run per shooter.  One person will not hold more than one position per record category. We will accept record submissions for 1^st, 2^nd, and 3^rd places.

NEWS! Lead Dispencer and I have decided to introduce a standard stage description category.  Set it up and give it a go!  Click here to download, it is in the Microsoft Word format. Note that the timer splits are not required to be visible, but the timer must be visible in the video stream.

E-Mail List: We are starting to collect e-mail addresses to alert those of you interested in receiving updates when new runs or record categories are added.  If you'd like to be on that e-mail list, please contact me at joelns@att.net. Rest assured, your e-mail address will be used for nothing else, nor will be be distributed, ever.
