Well, another PERFECT day for scrambling eggs. Just a bit of overcast to knock the mirage down, zero wind and temperature in the 70s. How could it get any better! And I actually got to taste Bob Ping’s fantastic Chili this time! Thanks Bob! First off, a couple thank yous! To David Lee Valdina who
Couldn’t ask for better weather! We had a great turnout for our first shoot of the year. The April shoot was rained out (Only the second time in 17 years that an Egg Shoot has been cancelled!) The weather gods are usually with us. Thanks to Bob Ping for the fantastic Chili. As always, he

The cap and ball disease has hit me……..it’s usually fatal to your savings account. Having a set of 1858 Remingtons and a set of 1851 Confederate Navy pistols left a glaring hole for a set of 1860 Colt Army revolvers. I really like the 5 1/2″ barrel lerngth of the Sheriff model. A quick search

I wanted to build a few “Staging Strips” for Cowboy Action Shooting competition. These are used to bring ammo to the loading table during a competition. I was using a plastic ammo box that holds 100 rounds and I was concerned that I might put too many cartridges into my rifle and find myself disqualified
I recently felt the need for yet another hobby since I don’t have enough distractions occupying my free time. I like shooting my lever action rifles and I’m a huge fan of the Single Action Army revolvers so Cowboy Action Shooting seemed a perfect fit. CAS require the shooting of four firearms.

I wanted an inexpensive double holster rig as my first CAS leather. I looked at Oklahoma Leather and Hunter Leather as the two least expensive sources. First problem is NO ONE has a full set of belt and L+R holster. I checked everywhere and folks just are not stocking them. I did see and feel
