  1. Updating the Holster Maker listing.    Trying to make a list of who currently makes gun rigs for our game. I'll start off with a few.  There must be hundreds of good leatherworkers out there.  Please add who made your holsters, that you'd recommend, and who is still in the business. Include their contact information so new shooters can find them!

  3. A word from Coolwater Mike about his brother, One-Eyed Fat Man... 

    Sept. 4, 2020

    "Another day of hospice.  I awoke to the bluest skies we've had in months, it's a fine day and the angels were at my door this morning.  At 11:07am they took the hand of my brother, the One Eyed Fatman and Marine Vet to lead him to meet our heavenly father.
    It was standing room only in his room as God's emissaries gathered him in their arms to carry him away, the tears of sadness and love were flowing freely among the gathered family as they bid him farewell. No more pain and suffering, just the memories of a good man gone to soon. Please pray for him and us for we are in great need of them."
