The Texas Historical Shootist Society Inc is a non-profit organization based in Columbus, Texas. It was established in 1989 with the aim of promoting the history and culture of Texas through the sport of Cowboy Action Shooting. The society holds regular events and competitions, where participants dress up in authentic cowboy attire and use firearms from the late 1800s to early 1900s.

The society's shooting range is located on a 30-acre property in Columbus, Texas, which includes various shooting bays and a Wild West town replica. The town replica serves as a backdrop for the shooting events and competitions, providing participants with an immersive experience of the old west.

The Texas Historical Shootist Society Inc is affiliated with the Single Action Shooting Society (SASS), which is the governing body for Cowboy Action Shooting worldwide. The society also partners with local historical organizations to promote the history and heritage of Texas.

The society is run by a board of directors, and membership is open to anyone who shares an interest in the history and culture of Texas and the old west. Members are encouraged to participate in the society's events and competitions, and to uphold the values of sportsmanship, safety, and historical accuracy.
