Default Cowboy; what does it mean???

I read things about "cowboy shooting", "cowboy pistols" and cowboy riffles.

What do they mean by the term "cowboy", so I can understand what it means.

Thanks,
Mike

[quote=Wikipedia]Cowboy Action Shooting (CAS), also known as Western Action Shooting or Single Action Shooting, is a competitive shooting sport that originated in California, USA, in the early 1980s. Cowboy Action Shooting is now practiced world wide with several sanctioning organizations including the Single Action Shooting Society (SASS), Western Action Shootists Association (WASA), and National Congress of Old West Shooters (NCOWS), as well as others in the USA and in other countries. Through the 1990s cowboy action shooting was considered the fastest growing shooting sport in the world. Due to the friendly culture and old west costumes, more women are involved in CAS than any other shooting sport. Many new participants are people who never expected to be involved in a shooting sport, until they saw how much fun people are having doing it.[quote]
