My cowboy way

Once is not enough

Rico had a hell of a good time shooting in September, and looks forward to doing it again in November and December.
The November shoot will double as a 'shoot' for Rico's Four For The Border video, too.

Only a year and a half later, Rico is going back to Quinton to actually shoot in a cowboy match. Seems there were some who doubted his ability to handle a gun, given his condition, but his worst critic is dead (which is too bad, actually; Frank was a great guy), so maybe they'll let him play...

Just looking vaguely Western...

...don't make you a cowboy. This is really hideous, even for 1977, but then again it was a JC Penney catalog photo...

Not yet, not yet, but soon

My buddy the Kid has been at Purgatory in the Pines, the New Jersey state championship, all weekend.
I envy him the friendships and the shooting.
But I'll get back to it, one of these days.
Fortunately I always had to close one eye to shoot anyway, so my doubled vision won't be a detriment.
Can't shoot any worse than I did before...

Because I can use it for both N-SSA and SASS events, and because it's surely one of the most beautiful weapons ever designed, I gotta get me one of these. As I'm currently flogging my 'black' gubs on GunBroker, I may even be able to afford one soon. (No, not the Romano one. That's five grand. Worth every penny, but I don't have the pennies. I'm going to have to get one of the Eyetralian ones from Taylor's...)

After a bout with a head injury (no, the horse didn't kick me, though it felt like it), I'm mostly back to being myself. Not quite ready to return to Cowboy Action Shooting, true, but at least I'm thinking about it. I do miss my Colt single actions...

As long as they spell the name right

I don't think the cover article from the current issue of The New Republic is likely to be very complimentary about cowboys and the "cowboy way".
But it's still nice to see us portrayed in that classic style from the Forties and Fifties, riding a white horse and brandishing a Colt's revolver.

Why is Kinky the governor of My Cowboy Way?
Because, for lack of a better reason, no other candidate in any election in the country will use the poignant and telling phrase "javelinas in heat" to describe their opponents...
