About This Program
What to expect when you show up
Wednesday Night Steel is a [Cowboy Action Shooting](/handbook/cowboy-action-shooting) match where you run timed stages with your single-action revolver, lever rifle, and shotgun through Old West scenarios. It's a fast-paced alternative to typical square-range shooting—you're moving, problem-solving targets in sequence, and actually using the gun the way it was designed. Unified Sportsmens Club in Rexburg hosts this weekly, so you get consistent competition and a crew of shooters who know the sport. Pick an alias, show up in period costume, and run the course. It's competitive without being serious.
