Oh, you'd better bring yore 1860. No doubt Major will have sumptin' gud fer us ta do with them Henrys! He's a wiley one, that feller.

Some of us would like to have an event using the oh so classic 1860 Henry. A great rifle that just don't get the credit it deserves. Been pondering on coming up with some type of competition with one. A classic's challenge to all competitors so to speak.

I’m in for classic as well I will bring my 1860 along in case.....

I'm in for classic -- and an 1860 Henry Challenge!

China Camp was a 5-Time SASS Overall World Champion, and was in the first class inducted into the Cowboy Action Shooting Hall of Fame. This interview was recorded in 2006.

I know!! I am from Arizona!! I was rubbing it in making a joke!!

Howdy Carlos ; We could use your services, there are some Pipeline protesters that need to meet a rope up here .... Coffee fer all da Grumps.. Dun got my oldest Daughter hitched, lovely event lot's of Work though ... Jabez Cowboy

Dang folks, thank you all for the nominations... it is so great just to be nominated in the mix of some great classics Cowboys/Cowgirls! This category is just great.. and the folks that shoot it are some of the best I have had the pleasure to meet. It is my privilege to offer up the Classic Cowboy Showdown the past two years... and I hope those that have been able to attend have had a great time! I look forward to hosting it again in 2019, with hopefully the biggest turn out yet for it. Now I have gotten to shoot with many classics over the years I have a few nominations of my own. Dantankerous - My "Big Brother".. .he has taught me a lot in the past few years about dressing the part for Classic Cowboy, Those that have met him know that he always looks like a true classic at any event, dressed like he just walked out of the Old West itself. He does the best he can to have the most authentic clothing and gear for the category. It is a complete joy to get to shoot with him at a match. Dan is the sort that will help anybody out that needs it and has a lot of great knowledge to share with new shooters as well. High Plains Hud - Hud is another great classic cowboy that well deserves the nomination for Classic Cowboy Shootist Of The Year. I have watched Hud shoot classic ever since I started shooting in 2010.... the man is just good and smooth! He has showed me many tips and tricks over the years to help me get better. I really enjoy sitting around at a match and chatting with him. Stirrup Trouble - Stirrup is new to the category, only been at it a little under 2 years... but he is already making incredible progress! Anybody that knows Stirrup knows that he works his butt off for the game, and that is no different in the Classic Cowboy Category. He helps me promote the Showdown by spreading the word at every event he attends... and with every shooter he comes across. He is a great pard and works hard and would be a great choice as well. Asa Smith - I have really gotten to know Asa the past two years and he is a great fella and very deserving of this as well. He is a hoot to hang out with and shoot along side... and will help out anybody that needs it. He is full of some great cowboy history, that I enjoy talking with him about. There are so many others that it is just tough to narrow it down.... I enjoy shooting with so many fellow classics like Pony Soldier, Bronco Red, Rattlesnake Russ, and oh so many more... glad to call them all my pards!

I haven't been shooting classic for very long but after reading these quotes and seeing the classic challenge on the wire my vote is for Major Art also!! Jax T

Well said Dan and Hud!! I've known him for awhile now and shooting with him is a gas. Major Art has my vote!

Well said Dan!!!! I think you are so spot on with your essay of last year and then this writeup. Thank you for it. I don't write well but : MAJOR ARTILLERY for 2018 Classic Cowboy Shootist!!!! And no disrespect meant to any other Classic Cowboys.

Ain't guna find no liberals round hear, when I go out wear'n my MAGA hat I go armed, just in case cuz there's so many dumb a** lib protester groups out there ya never know what you'll run into. Non a then been on my lawn......yet. Carlos Murphy

Nauseated (as I was taught, if you are nauseous, you are making others nauseated)

Add +2 from Lodan B Fast and Marie Laveau! Well said Dantankerous

I have to agree with Flinthills Dawg, These three are ones you want to ride the river with. I think all three are the winner, of CC 2019.

Yup yup. A Henry Throwdown-Showdown is just my game.

Dan & I have discussed the idea of an 1860 Henry match within a match, which could be really cool (according to us). I know there's some safe queens out there that are being neglected! If you're man or woman enough, bring an 1860 Henry for your main match rifle! Throw down!

Here is something I put together back in '04 or '05. I tried to put it in the local gun shops. One "didn't have the space." One received it with enthusiasm. One just said, "OK." I left about 700 copies at those two stores. Three months later most of them were still on the counters. I think that most of the ones missing had been used by people as scratch paper. I had included below this the contact information - phone, email, and postal address - for our senators, the 3 local members of the House, the local members of the CA State Senate, and the CA Assembly. WE are the problem.
