The Cavalier Cowboys are a Cowboy Action Shooting Club based near Montpelier, Virginia. We are associated with the Cavalier Rifle & Pistol Club which is where we hold our matches. We shoot on the 1st Sunday and 2nd Wednesday of every month, with some exceptions. The Cavalier Cowboys are a SASS (Single Action Shooting Society) Affiliated Club, we are governed by and operate our matches under all SASS Rules.

You DO NOT have to be a member of either Cavalier Rifle & Pistol Club or SASS to shoot with us, everyone is welcome to join us as our guests.

NEW Shooters are Welcome and Encouraged!!  If you have ever wondered how much fun it is too dress up like a cowboy and shoot 1800 era pistols, rifles and shotguns at steel targets then COME ON OUT and find out!! New Shooters need to have observed a full match (at Cavalier or elsewhere) before shooting their first match.

Thanks, Major B.S. Walker

Hello Boys & Girls

 With the shade and fans, it kept the bite off of the heat. WE had seven shooters and one observer / future shooter take part. At the end of the day we had a 14.286 CAD shooter percentage rate. That means we had one CAD shooter and that being Mr. Tye Riverman. He also was the top overall shooter. Thanks for all the help with setup and teardown.Next Saturday you can Cowboy shoot with the Rivanna Rangers or the Pungo Posse. Results are linked below.
Thanks Pards:

1st Sunday Match – July 7th 2024

By /

Hello All

Summer has unveiled itself and we have overcome it. With a shady bay, popup where needed and fans, I don’t believe any of the fifteen shooters got too heated today. Through all the mud, the blood and the beer, we managed a 24.6% Clean All Day rate. Today’s CAD rate was extra special because Iron Yooper, The NoVA Kid and Tombstone Rex have now shot their first ever Clean All Day Match. Way to go Pards. Many more are yet to come. The other CAD shooter was just me. We even had our future star shooter, Ms.Baby Belle back shooting with us today. A special thanks to Bucksaw for taking on the Barbecue duties even when he didn’t shoot.

Good Evening Ladies & Gentlemen

Well the crowd was massive and we had a 25% clean all day rate. What more could you ask for?  Maybe to be there to actually shoot the match today. We did have two want-to-be Cowboys show up today to observe their first match. I do believe they will be back because they both said they loved it. With those two extra people we managed to total up to six. Seven if you count me in when I showed up at the end to test out the new targets. So four Cowboys shot their hearts out today with Ripsaw taking all honors, first place overall, the only CAD shooter and he wrote the match. What’s up with that? He even made the new targets. Results are attached.
Enjoy!

Hello everyone out there in Cowboyville.

First of all, thank you Mother Nature for the nice breeze you provided to take the bite out of the temperatures today.
Like to shout out to our Buckarette shooter, Baby Belle for completing her second cowboy match. a big hello to Ms. Calamity Crow, our visiting out of town shooter who kicked some butt with us today and a shout out to Mumma Belle for joining in and supporting her Baby Belle.
Out of the twenty shooters today, we had four that walked away Clean All Day. That being Bingo Montana, Bucksaw Bob, Range Hazzard and Tree Doc Red. The rest of us just couldn’t cut the mustard. Hell, Ripsaw and I had stage DQ”s. Anyway’s, we all had a good time and that is what our sport is all about. Mr.Tree Doc Red took home the Eldorado.
Thanks Cowboys for all your help. Results linked below.
