Windy is a Yankee! He's from Chicago!

Probably found its way during the Alaskan gold rush. Lots of military and state militia sold their surplus weapons when replacing them with newer versions. Gold seekers would bring whatever they could find to protect their claims, or merchants would sell items that they had bought cheap at inflated prices. Rafe

Thank goodness someone bought this! my wife was going to get really mad at me again. Rafe

No I wouldn't, I think that you are honoring his father's legacy by using his name. Rafe

I believe that you have an early box of 30-30 Winchester ammo. Made specific for the 1894 Winchester in 30 cal. Rafe

Old Deadeye, started cowboy shooting in Arizona, one of the founders of los vaquero and border town. Lost both legs, an eye, and part of his hand in the Vietnam war. His black powder rounds would set off car alarms in the parking lot. Ft. Sinclair at winter range is named after him. Rafe

Howdy, sounds about how I got started 14 years ago. Saw a bunch of cowboys at the range in Phoenix. Went to watch and wound up hooked. You will get a bunch of advice, watch folks shoot, pick brass, help the posse. That will help you notice how they work their transitions, and then I guaranty that you will find a mentor! I've been lucky enough to have found several. And have been one a time or two. Have fun and be safe. Rafe
