The International Defensive Pistol Association (IDPA) is the governing body of a shooting sport that simulates self-defense scenarios and real life encounters. It was founded in 1996 as a response to the desires of shooters worldwide. The organization now boasts membership of more than 20 000, including members in 50 foreign countries.
One of the unique facets of this sport is that it is geared toward the new or average shooter, yet is fun, challenging and rewarding for the experienced shooter. The founders developed the sport so that practical gear and practical guns may be used competitively. An interested person can spend a minimal amount on equipment and still be competitive. The main goal is to test the skill and ability of the individual, not equipment or gamesmanship. "Competition only" equipment is not permitted in this sport. In South Africa IDPA is shot under the auspices of SADPA – South African Defensive Pistol Association.

Cowboy Action Shooting is one of the fastest growing Gun Sports in the World. It is and always will remain an amateur shooting sport. It was created to be a fun family shoot, for men, woman and children and it is as much a social event as it is a shoot. Today, the sport is dominated by youngsters. The fastest Cowboy handgun shooter is 13 years of age and shoots 10 rounds out of 2 Single Action Revolvers in under 3 seconds.
Cowboy Action Shooting was started in South Africa in 2004 and accredited with the SAPS in 2010. The first club was in the Southern Suburbs in Cape Town. Subsequently, clubs have opened up all across the country. It has been long overdue to start one in the Northern Suburbs of Cape Town. The Northern Territory Rangers (NTR) club was started in April 2017 and we believe that it will become the biggest Cowboy club in the Western Cape. For more information regarding our sport, visit our SA Governing Body's website at www.westernshooters.co.za or visit the World Governing Body's website at www.sassnet.com or just search for Cowboy Action Shooting on the internet or on Youtube.
