I went to one of these this weekend near my house. It was a great time. My wife, who has never shot a firearm, went a enjoyed it. I've shot firearms since I was a teenager, 62 now, but never had place for hunting or anything like that. Basically, you have two single action pistols, a shotgun and a rifle. You also need to dress and have weapons time period appropriate. There was about 30 people there. I got to do a stage and my wife also. It was a blast! Now I need to sell stuff and get firearms and accoutrements, because I have the bug! .... He's dead Jim. Grab his tricorder. I'll get his wallet. --- MultiMail/Win v0.52 þ Synchronet þ Dark Matter BBS * Kurten, TX * darkmatt.synchro.net * .

That is the danger of trying anything new. ;) With me, it seems like I get the bug, buy new stuff, and then it passes and I am stuck with a bunch of rarely used stuff. :D * SLMR 2.1a * I wish Noah had swatted those two mosquitoes..... --- þ Synchronet þ CAPCITY2 * capcity2.synchro.net * Telnet/SSH:2022/Rlogin/HTTP .

Gr> Now I need to sell stuff and get firearms and accoutrements, because I Gr> have the bug! Careful! That cowboy action shooting racket is a gateway drug to handloading, cosplay and all sorts of stuff! My brother in law was heavy into cowboy action shooting. He just about disowned his sister when I bought a pair of stainless steel Ruger Vaqueros in ..45 Colt with SASS (Single Action Shooting Society) grips and sequential serial numbers for $1500 and refused to entertain any notion of selling them to him. Cowboy shooting will lead to hand loading. These guys load so low it's not even funny. Basically a hair above primer. As long as the load leaves the barrel and makes a "ding" sound on the target, it's good enough. Makes sense. As many rounds as is shot during a weekend of activity, full loads take a toll on both the gun and the shooter, so keeping it light makes sense - plus since speed counts keeping the loads light improves scores. Then you'll be spending money on "authentic" Western garb in order to look the part of the western gunslinger.... Hell, now you have ME wanting to go out and play cowboy! ....
