Welcome to our firearms page. Below are some of the firearms typical of our sport.

Above are some of the  firearms typical of those used in our main match competitions. Old style lever action original and reproductions of Henry and Winchesters models 1866, 1873, 1892 and 1894 along with Marlin model '94 all chambered in pistol calibre. Pistols used are single action revolvers Colt and Remington original and repros, with the famous Ruger single action models also very popular. Some competitors may choose to use  cap and ball, black powder revolvers of the frontier period of the old west. Shotguns in Australian matches are either double barrel hammered or hammerless models of 20 gauge or larger.

We also have special long range rifle matches. Again we use firearms typical of the period of the old west. We have long range lever action events in pistol and rifle calibre. With Winchester and Marlin rifles proving very popular. Long range rifle calibre events are restricted to classic calibres of the period, e.g. 30/30, 38/55, the legendary 45/70 and many other calibres available during the famous old west era. Long range single shot rifle events are also conducted using legendary firearms such the Springfield Trapdoor, Sharps "buffalo rifles", Remington rolling blocks and many other period correct rifles.
