The original idea of single action shooting got lost after the first few End of Trail matches. The "Spirit of the Game" has changed. The original match was a bunch of shooters having a good time with Cowboy style arms and "western" style clothing (I wore sneekers and no hat at the First End of Trail, blue jeans and a western shirt was enough). Soon the money and authentic costumes and multi pistols took over. OWSA (Old West Shooist Association) was started to get back to the original idea of fun, family style cowboy shooting. They shoot for a whole week around June in Raton NM. I'd like to see some monthly matches start up around the country based on OWSA.
