COWBOY CARBINE - TACTICAL LEVER GUN | 21 MARCH 2026, RANGE 5A
COURSE DESCRIPTION
You probably have one or wish you did. That old lever gun sitting in the corner being ignored. Well, the Lever Gun is experiencing a comeback. New chamberings, Red Dots, Magazine Fed, Folding stocks and its not even close to being considered an assault weapon. I have a lot of time behind these rifles. Joe has multiple Championship Titles in SASS Wild Bunch shooting and can teach you how to add this versatile tool to your list of options. It’s dangerous to assume than you simply purchase your rifle, place it in the closet, and then tell yourself that you’ll be ready when you hear the “bump in the night.” There are effective and proven means to evaluate your shooting technique, learn and practice new techniques, and elevate your game. It’s called TRAINING!
