SINGLE ACTION 40
This discipline is for replicas of single action cartridge revolvers designed before 1900. It includes such iconic models as the Colt Peacemaker and Cattleman, the Smith and Wesson Schofield and the Ruger Blackhawk.
This match is also referred to as the Single Action Black Powder Aggregate Match. This match is exactly the same course of fire as the Black Powder 25m match.
The Single Action Black Powder Aggregate Match combines 2-stages: a precision stage and a rapid-fire stage, each of 20 shots.
