I think Calamity Jane could have kicked Pancho Villa's ass even on her worst and most drunken day...

I was so disappointed when I found out somebody already had her real name for Cowboy Action Shooting . . .
. . . but it's o.k. I'm a Crow Indian lady scout instead . . . .

“Calamity Jane”
Too bad they didn’t have penicillin back in those days.

My maternal grandmother at age 4 was one of three siblings who were smuggled out of Mexico after Villas men killed her parents. They were landowners.

But they turned Pancho into such a lovely collander!

Reminds me of the story I heard that Jesse James’ mother would go down to the local store and buy a bucket of cheap pistols to sell the tourists as “Jesse’s personal gun”. There are still probably dozens of these floating around out there.

I saw a crappy old pistol on display in the public library recently with a card telling some ridiculous story that it was Jesse’s. Some farmer claimed he came across the James Gang camping overnight on his farm, and many years later, his grandson plowed up this POS $2 pistol. Combine the two tales, and you’ve got “Jesse James” pistol”. I’d like to think most people have more sense than that.

Too bad they shot up the car. It was a nice car.

Nah, I'm getting a Crow skinning knife instead.
"Virtue pistols" are all well and good, but with 2 Ruger SAA revolvers, a Stoeger coach gun, and a Winchester lever action, I think I'll be pretty well equipped.

He don't look that bad for a guy shot 47 times.
Did they put a clean shirt on him, or what?

It would appear that Pancho is where the X is in the above photo.

Bat Materson used to do the same thing.
I met Col. Jeff Cooper and had the urge to ask if he would sell his 1911. I was in the middle of wondering if I could afford it and backed off.
There was a doctor who had his Scout rifle signed by Cooper with a magic marker. I realized he now had a rifle he would be nuts to continue to use after that.

. . . but it's o.k. I'm a Crow Indian lady scout instead . . . . So you're saying "Wild Bill" is probably spoken for then? Any of the Younger brothers available?
Coolest part of SASS is the mounted shooting, although I'd like to see IPSC targets and live ammo. Yeeha!
And I thought 3 Gun was expensive.
