Ace of Hearts was a good cowboy and a good guy. Very sorry to see him go.

Oral histories aren't worth the paper they're written on.

I still have no idea.

When I started this game in '95, Lucky Smucky was running the matches at West End. It was a great place to shoot, and lots of great folks: Har Trigger, China Camp. Capt. John Sutter, Stony Burke, Island Girl, R.J. Poteet, Dastardly Dave, Calamity Jane, Justin O'Sheriff, Lady Jailer. I have lots of others in my mind's eye but can't come up with the names. I shot Showdown several times. It was always a fun match.

I just read your response to Doc Ward's post about how your hearing loss put a stop to your guitar playing. Boy, can I relate. I know the guitar is in tune, and I know I'm playing right, but it sounds like six kinds of discordant hell. I'm sitting here right now looking at my favorite guitar on a stand next to my desk. I'm thinking about just putting it away and officially accepting the fact that that part of my life is over. But I really hate it. Nasty Newt

Howdy Newt.
Its easy for me to say this but I really can't take my own advice.
As long as you can entertain yourself, keep it up.
It wasn't as hard for me to stop playing because I started into Cowboy shooting, which started taking up my time and hobby.
But as you know, even playing a good tuned guitar sounds 'off' and trying to sing along is probably even worse.
Instead of spending good time during the evening entertaining myself playing the guitar, I now mostly dry fire my SG and reloading.
And I spend a good amount of time messing with a few guns. Summer will find me shooting a lot more.
I wish you well. Hope to see you sometime down the trail.

My neighbor said he lost 150 pounds of ugly fat when his step-son moved out. -
I enjoy plinking with family and friends. We shoot whatever everybody brings. Cowboy Earl has started putting on muzzle loader trail walks at our range, and I enjoy doing that. We're going to put on our second ever bolt action military match (BAMM) next weekend.

Maybe the people who don't share personal info are former professional wrestlers. "...and his opponent, from parts unknown, height unknown, weight unknown..."

Grant entered West Point at 16. I think it was possible to be old enough for the academy and not old enough to enlist.

Nice.

About 15 years or so ago I was loitering around after a West end Outlaws match at Lytle Creek in so/cal, philosophizing about shooting with a shooter named Choctaw. He was a Senior at the time, and was darn near unbeatable. Won EOT Senior lots of times. At one point in the conversation, he said something like, "If a guy was really serious about shooting a single action, he would just have his pinky amputated." I wasn't that serious.

I like those grips. That's what my Colts wear.
