Cody/Dixon Lite Rules
For the Tulsey Town Cattleman’s Association Cody/Dixon Lite category the shooter follows the standard stage scenario except for the rifle instructions and targets. The Cody/Dixon Lite shooters will use Main Match caliber single shot or lever action rifles (loaded and shot one round at a time) to engage separate Cody/Dixon Lite targets with a separate target order. The shooter will engage the same pistol and shotgun targets as instructed in the stage scenario. All standard CAS safety, clothing, equipment and costumes rules will apply.
All SASS legal revolvers and shotguns are accepted, and any SASS legal shooting style may be used.
Rifle is shot with either:— Single-shot rifle in a SASS Main Match caliber. — Any Main Match rifle, loaded on-the-clock, one round at a time. — Stated differently, the rifle may never contain more than one live round.
Two categories exist: 1. Traditional: Single-shot rifles with an exposed, manually activated hammer, and extractors only. 2. Modern: Single-shot rifles with ejectors and/or self-cocking hammer, and Main Match rifles operated as described above.
Rifle target distances and/or sizes should be selected to provide a more challenging rifle portion of the stage to the shooter.
Each stage will require a total of six rounds to be fired.
Ammunition for all rifles may be loaded from any of three places. 1. A cartridge belt, made of period correct material, that is worn around the waist of the shooter. 2. An over the shoulder bandoleer, made of period correct material, and the lower end is in no way, shape, form or fashion secured to the shooter or their clothing. 3. The ammunition may be staged at the Rifle position of the Stage. Single Shot Rifles may not be staged with a round already in the chamber. All rounds must be loaded on the clock. The Cody/Dixon Lite category and its rules were inspired by and adapted from those developed for the Cody/Dixon category by the Texas Historical Shootist Society.

Cody/Dixon Lite Stage Example
The written stage example below should give you an idea of how a Cody/Dixon Lite stage is arranged within a traditional SASS match and how it is shot.
In the example, those targets denoted CDL are used for Cody/Dixon Lite shooters as rifle targets, while those denoted R are used for Main Match shooters as rifle targets. Please note that neither the target sizes nor distances are to scale; they simply exist to provide a basic understanding of the stage layout.
