Howdy Pards,

As I write this I'm 58 years old and retiring after 40 years of service to Uncle Sam on 31 Dec 2011. From there I need to work a year as a consultant to pay for all the repairs and updates to my old (circa 1767) house. After that I plan on having plenty of time to devote to CAS and my other hobbies.

I owned guns and hunted as a kid but when I got married I sold all of that and hadn't touched a gun (except for M16) again until two years ago when I ordered a Pietta 1858 from Cabelas. I shouldn't have done that because I got hooked on black powder and CAS as well. In the near term I travel most every week so I don't have a lot of time to dedicate to any of my hobbies, especially one that would take me away from home on my only two days at home per week so I have to catch as catch can participation in weekend shoots. That should all change in a year or so when I fully retire (or at least work only when I want to).

So that's about it, I'm a rank amateur when it comes to guns and Cowboy Action Shooting but I love it and hope to be able to play at it for a while longer.

Willy
