I'm just glad to go out and shoot my best.

The most any of us can hope for!

What other pistoleros did I miss? Rex Applegate?

Ross Seyfried, Chuck Taylor. Might be a few years after guys like Chapman though. That's Old School!

Trust you're already aware of ICORE

FITZ! I can’t believe I forgot Fitz, especially when I have a signed copy of “Shooting”.

Geez.....

[Tijeras_Slim]

Bob Milek too.

Damn but we’re old. :)

Amen!

Right now we're mulling over plans for a Cowboy Cart -- to carry all our stuff.

Since my persona is that of a Crow Indian scout, I'm considering rigging up a travois for my faithful Labrador Retriever to pull . . .

"You're gonna do WHAT?"

Meanwhile, a real find would be the head of Pancho Villa sa it was stolen from his corpse several years later.

Years ago, I bought what I thought was the skull of Pancho from a street vendor in Tijuana.

Alas, he was out the next day selling another skull, also saying it was Poncho's.

When I confronted him, he said he was selling Poncho's skull from when Poncho was a little boy. (I bought it too, just to be on the safe side)

Here's that poor persecuted Lakota dog . . .

***Maybe I should have said my comment about it being Corzine was a joke.***

I was into shooting cowboy guns way back in 1968. I had the real Colt .45, Real 1873 Winchester rifle in .38/40, and one of the first Uberti “Yellowboy” rifles .38 Spl, then .44/40 and another 1873 reproduction in .44 along with several Colt black power pistol copies.

No one else was interested in that kind of shooting so I kept them for about ten years then had to sell ( I was starving). Now everyone shoots “cowboy” and I’m way too old for the game. I also bought one of the first muzzle loading rifles back in 1970. No one was interested in them either.

I then started shooting assault rifles in the early 1970’s but no one was interested. They were still in a “hunting” frame of mind and the .223 was too light for them.

Now Cowboy and assault rifles are “IN” and I’m way too old and crippled up to participate.

Bummer.

OK, now that’s funny!

I don’t know if you’d like it. Sometimes it’s better to be the real deal and alone than just another part of the herd.

I get weird looks at the range with my 20’s revolvers, and occasionally shoot skeet and trap with 16 ga. Browning A-5’s.

There's a guy in a motorized wheelchair in our club. The rules need to be modified a bit for him, but the club is happy to do that and he's out here shooting and having a good time. And there are a BUNCH of fellas out here that are hardly spring chickens (and I say that as a 52-year-old lady).

C'mon out!
