BLUE HILL — The Blue Hill Regulators will be hosting their second Cowboy Action Shoot of the season on Saturday, Aug. 7, at the Blue Hill Rifle & Pistol Club on Range Road in Blue Hill.

For those unfamiliar with Cowboy Action Shooting (CAS), participants dress in proper 1850-1899 outfits and adopt an alias befitting their chosen persona. With safety being the primary concern, participants then engage targets using original or reproduction firearms of that period in American history.

The targets are arranged in “stages” depicting a particular scenario or event. Participants are then timed as they shoot each stage.

The Aug. 7 shoot will consist of six stages, each exploring “Occupations in the Old West.”

Registration for participants begins at 8 a.m. in the clubhouse. The safety meeting, required for all participants, begins at 8:30. The shoot commences at 9.

Spectators are welcome to drop by at any time.
