A short word of advice: It's hard to go wrong with Rugers, Vaquero, New Vaquero. Don't buy a Rossi rifle. Stoeger is a good entry level SG. I don't like the Chinese made pumps. I've broken too many. Marlin model 94 is also a good entry level rifle. Make sure it has a JM stamp or is made by Ruger. Remington did Marlins dirty and nobody wants them in Cowboy Action. Eventually you will probably want to get a Uberti 73 rifle with a short stroke. Best advice is (I saw it above) get to a local match and talk with the shooters. Best wishes and welcome to the fun!

She is very generous with her time and talent and in her "other life" is a teacher so I can imagine this will be an excellent class.

We called that a Pendulum sweep.

I've heard tell of men like you. Almost extinct now. 😂

The very first match I went to just to watch was the Florida State match. My actual quote when I got home was, "I have found my people." I wish the same for you.

It's a wonder anybody even remembers going there. 😂🍸🍹🍺🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻 I remember my first one was 2013. It was the first time I met Tombstone and Lady T and the cloud of people that surrounded them. It was in St Augustine at the Florida State match. We all went to dinner at the Crabhouse. I was sitting next to Joe and he started talking about Black Gold and told me I HAD to come. Then he started talking about the food and side entertainment. Then Creek chimed in about Hillbilly Olympics. I asked how much all this fun was and he said $100. I couldn't believe my ears. When I got home I told wife I was going to Kentucky! (Her version is somewhat different. Crying and begging is how she puts it.😜😂) Anyhow, I did go and it was fantastic. Price is a little higher now but the value for your money and time still can't be beat.

You won't be disappointed. Anything Copperhead Joe puts together is gonna be entertaining. FYI, If you haven't bought guns yet, do yourself a favor and go to a match first and talk to the shooters. You'll get lots of good advise that might save you time and money. Cowboy Action Shooting is the friendliest shooting discipline. It changed my life.

Bump for a good pard. Sorry I dropped off the planet, "something" came up. Can't believe the Marlin is still available.

What are you looking for to trade? Would you trade money for the guns? If so how much? W

I called Tuesday and renewed. I had tried to renew online but that's not working and they are aware of it.

I've noticed Walmart has a variety of merchandise in varied locations. West Virginia WM has black powder stuff too. They even had a couple of shotgun loading presses. Walmart.com has all manner of almost everything.

Holy cow, Earl, you got stuff! Is the Marlin rifle JM stamped? Do you have a photo or two of the Berettas? Waimea (We possed together at EOT)

When I was writing the stages for the SW REGULATORS in beautiful sunny Punta Gorda Florida the last line of the day was always highly anticipated bc it was always about beer. The beer ain't gettin any colder. The beer ain't gonna drink itself. I think there's only 3 beers in the icebox. Was I supposed to bring the beers?

Kind of a sad post. Nothing I haven't thought of, just sad.

This caught my eye probably bc I saw the double tap Z in the thread preview. When I read the post, one thing came to mind: Sure glad I missed. 🙂 Thank you for being so conscientious!
