Western Associations:
Looking for some official-type organisations to learn from? Look no further, here are some key UK and international associations that will help you get a better picture of what this is all about.
The British Westerners Association
The original BWA, formed in 1973 by Western enthusiasts. Check out their new website.Open Range:
The Association for authentic Old West re-enactors in the UK
The British Western Shooting Society:
Sounding a bit like the American S.A.S.S , The BWSS is a live action shooting society using real rifle, pistol (muzzle loaders), and shotguns of the Old West. These events take place at venues approved by the Home Office, and sounds like a great deal of fun!The National Association Of Re-Enactment:
N.A.Re.S. seeks to provide a comprehensive database of re-enactment information on the web. Based in Swindon they list useful information such as upcoming events, re-enactment groups and more.The Single Action Shooting Society:
SASS is a great organisation, they represent the responsible fun that can be had shooting the classic style guns of the West. An American site that shows us what we could have had, had we not had the Firearms Act of 1997 put in place. A great source of information for cowboy action shooting, including an interesting online store.Shoot! Magazine:
A great site all about Western action shooting and the Old West.The Fast Draw Resource Center:
Part of the Gunfighter Zone website, this sport has to be seen to be believed. The art of fast draw in all it's magnificence, check out the video clips and prepare to be amazed at the draw times!Manataka American Indian Council:
This site was recommended to me by a good friend and a member of the Manataka American Indian Council. The site is beautifully laid out and it has so much information that you just have to visit it. I believe that it would be a tragedy not to learn more about the Native American People.Association to Commemorate the Chinese Serving in the American Civil War (ACCSACW)
Gordon Kwok's superbly informative website on Chinese people serving in the A.C.W. This is an important site to visit, if you care for a more substantial feel for the time.World Gunspinning Association:
More Hollywood Than Deadwood, But Real Entertaining For Sure.
