    Congratulations on your retirement. The first thing you're going to do is play Cowboy?  That is certainly taking retirement seriously. :D

    Well let's see I'm going to Kansas State first, then the next weekend is my local clubs championship, then the next weekend I'm going to Mississippi State and the next weekend I'm going to Wisconsin State.  Mississippi will be the 22nd and Wisconsin will be the 23rd different state that I have shot cowboy action in.  Yep looks like I'm going to play some Cowboy.  Yeee Haaaa! :D

  2. Speaking of the Dammit Gang, I participated in the Dammit Gang and Dooley Gang shoot in Tombstone AZ many years ago. It included a special night shoot. We got a DG poker chip that I wore on my Dooley Gang arm band for years until the chip fell off and I lost it. Fond memories.

  3. Photo I took a few minutes ago of the total eclipse here in Fort Worth.  Clouds moved threw off and on all day.  Slight cloud across during the total coverage.  
     

    Oh just stepped out my front door to watch the progress and then take the photo with my iPhone once total happened.

    So…no change then. If they had a clue they wouldn’t have hit the flippin’ bridge! 

    I believe I read that there were 2 local harbor pilots on board in charge of the navigation out of the harbor, not the captain of the ship.

    I’ve got 3 SxS’s and 12-13 Winchester 1897’s all in 16 gauge. A pard that moved to Arizona a number of years ago gave me a bucket full of 1897 parts, a lot of them 16 gauge, so I guess you could say I’m kinda fond of the 16 gauge.

    12-13 Wow

    Well I will get a reservation list going.

     

    CLASSIC COWBOY/ COWGIRL DINNER

     

    WHERE: Legacy Kansas https://legacykansasabilene.com/

     

    WHEN: May 3rd...  Friday 5pm

     

    MEAL:  Pan Fried Chicken / Steak

    (see link for more menu info) 

     

    I believe they serve everything family style, big ole bowls/plates of biscuits and others sides that are just passed around the table.  Great food and you will love the atmosphere!

     

    Let me know how many and what meal you would like, as reservations are needed. 

     

    Looking at the menu I don't see Steak I see beef ground into patties and skillet cooked.  Here is a cut and paste of the menu:

     

    Brookville Classic Skillet Fried Chicken

    Chicken is cooked in regular seasoned flour. If you need a gluten-free option, we do offer baked chicken.

     

    14oz Munson's Premium Angus Beef

    The Munson beef is graded as Prime dry aged beef

    1st Place Winner At The American Royal As The Country's Best-Tasting Beef.

    Beef is ground, formed into 2 7oz patties, and cooked on a skillet seasoned with Kosher salt and fresh cracked black Tellicherry peppercorn.

    Patties are topped with sauteed cremini mushrooms and onions.

    On the side is a white steak cream sauce made from heavy whipping cream, grilled onions, garlic Worcestershire, Dijon mustard, and fresh cracked black Tellicherry peppercorn.

    The Munson beef is graded as Prime dry-aged beef that took 1st place at the American Royal as the country’s best-tasting beef.

    My dad, Rusty Drall, has a very old Springfield ‘03 rifle with a 13,000 serial number that puts its manufacture date at 1903.

     

    I’ve heard that the older versions could have brittle receivers and that some failed catastrophically using modern ammo. The rifle has been checked by a qualified gun smith who deemed it safe to shoot, but he recommended that lower pressure loads be used.

     

    I’d like to speak with anyone on the WIRE who has experience loading .30-06 for the older BAMs. I have a large selection or bullets and powders and would like to work up a load that is safe for my dad to shoot in this old gun.

     

    Shoot me a PM if you have some experience in this arena. Thanks 

    Very Cool!  :D  I collect US Military Long Arms and I have a 1903 made in 1903 with a 1905 dated barrel.  Serial number 9091 but unfortunately it is 30-06 and not 30-03 but has the old style stock.  :P  It will never be fired by me.
