Chili Pepper Kid, SASS #60463

I shoot Classic Cowboy but at a couple independent clubs I have a couple palm leaf hats. One has the vented patterned crown. I think my 4x Resistol felt in Silverbelly is just as cool as those.

Congratulations Slow Poke and Julie Bean!! It was great shooting with ya.

I would like to nominate Dantankerous. He's a great example of a Classic Cowboy. He's always ready to help a pard out and his costuming is top notch. He makes shooting fun. This year as we remember and celebrate the life of Major Artillery I think we should consider his traveling pard and friend/side kick as Classic Cowboy of the year. Dantankerous. Dantankerous in the middle.

A Stoeger Uplander was my first shotgun I purchased for this sport. It also became my pheasant & quail gun here in Iowa. Took many a bird with it.

Another endorsement forMichigan Rattler. I asked him for a stock cover as a tribute to my favorite western book, Monte Walsh. Monte rode for the Slash Y.

I use corn cob media. Change it every other month but can be more often if shooting annual matches. I usually shoot 3 monthly matches a month

Awesome! Any photos?

Howdy all: I am having trouble keeping my gun belt up and have to tighten it to the point it's painful just to keep it on my hips. I have regular Perry suspenders but the front straps interfere with where I want my holsters. I found online the uBEE suspenders that connect on the sides. Do you think they would work? Does anyone use them? https://www.perrysuspenders.com/online-store/uBEE-c25452200

Those are cool!

I handled one yesterday at local gun shop. Seemed nice, opened easily but a bit stiffer to close. Was able to sweep hammers with my thumb. The metal in the hammers had an interesting copper tint color.

I have one, always had problems with the right barrel not firing occasionally. Sent it back twice. The second time CZ sent me a new gun. Second gun did the same. Then I had two different gunsmiths work on it. Bought a TTN for a back up. CZ sits in the safe now. Shoot the TTN all the time now.

My condolences and prayers. RIP pard.

Will keep him in my devotions.

My SDB will have problems feeding the primers if I over tighten the round nut at the top of the primer feed, the one that holds the primer tube in.

Awesome rig!! What are you doing for the shotgun shells?

Wow!!

250gr. the blowback from 200gr. had my right eye almost swollen shut one evening after a match. I shoot 200gr. in my pistols for the less recoil.

Clay we gotta talk!! Ya had me for a bit I started looking on the KCCI website for the police report.

RIP Ace. My condolences and prayers.

Ben Johnson, He was at a western wear place here in Des Moines. I got him to sign my Louis Lamour book Sackett. He played the character Cap Roundtree in the movie. Louis Lamour, he came to the Des Moines Library when I was a kid. My mom worked there so I got to meet him. Kyle Busch. Met him a couple of times at the Iowa Speedway. Was very nice to my kids. Bobby Allison, went to a race in Richmond, Va. I was stationed on a ship in Norfolk. A shipmate and I decided to go over. We took ships binoculars (kind of big maybe a foot and a half long) to the race. The day before the Nascar race they had a Busch Grand National race. We were setting behind these guys and ya could tell they really knew racing. There was a bad crash and they were saying they hoped the one driver was ok. I whipped out the binoculars to check it out and they started laughing then asked if they could take a look. Turned out it was Bobby Allison and Bobby Hamilton. They kept cracking up about the binoculars and bought us beers during the race. Harry Gant, went to the same race the next year and had a friend of mine from home in Iowa come out to go with me. The year before had bought the tickets the day before however this year it was sold out. We decided to get there early to see if we could buy any tickets. This guy pulls up in this old pickup and we asked him if he had any extra tickets. He hollers out to this other guy to help us out. He got us some tickets at face value. When they were doing driver intros we realized the guy in the truck was Harry Gant. Bob Feller, Hall of fame pitcher for the Cleveland Indians, from Van Meter Iowa. Came to visit at the Des Moines VA hospital where I work. My uncle Will came to see him when I told him he would be there. They served on the same ship in WWII. Got a baseball signed and gave it to my dad. Dad grew up a fan of the Heater from Van Meter.
