Doc Flimshaw Sass# 73310 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Never thought I'd live to see the day when the Los Angeles Times runs a favorable article about cowboy action shooting ( or anything related to shooting). Looks like they may have picked it up from another source, as it's about a club in Pennsylvania.........Doc http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-gunslingers-20120415,0,5222348.story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nota John, SASS #51089L Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 This was at the Dakota Badlanders April 8th match held at Guthsville Rod and Gun Club,Orefield,Pa. 2 people from the Allentown, Pa. newspaper ( The Morning Call ), Andrew McGill, staff writer and Monica Cabrera, photographer came to the match. They were very impressed with the safety of CAS, and both were invited to shoot a stage. Andrew had previously fired rifles and shotguns, but not revolvers, and enjoyed it. Monica had never fired ANY firearm to Andrew's knowledge. According to Andrew, Monica said afterwards she was surprised how fast her heart was beating and wanted to do it again. Glad to see some good press, we need all we can get. Possibly there are 2 new CAS shooters in the wings. Good shooting to all. Nota John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.T. Stetson, SASS #67410 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 The Allentown Morning Call and the Los Angeles Times both belong to the Tribune Co., so the article and photos are likely available to all the newspapers in the chain. Other Tribune newspapers include the Chicago Tribune, Hartford Courant and the Baltimore Sun. Regards, M.T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt. John Campbell, SASS #58165 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I posted the article to one of our state level firearms boards (PAFOA). Of course, since it doesn't relate to Glocks, AK's or AR's, nobody cares to read it or comment on it...their loss I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Bob #35998 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Everybody always seems surprised to see a favorable newspaper article. I don't actually recall ever seeing an unfavorable one. The media's anti gun bias doesn't seem to apply to us for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badlands Beady Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Everybody always seems surprised to see a favorable newspaper article. I don't actually recall ever seeing an unfavorable one. The media's anti gun bias doesn't seem to apply to us for some reason. Well, think about it. How many horror movies have there been featuring clowns, Santa Claus, cute fuzzy little balls of fur, and your next-door neighbor? How many have featured cowboys? Wait a minute... I think I just came up with the ultimate horror movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tex Jones, SASS 2263 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Nice to see a pard, Stump, on the left of the picture, in the paper. Everything I have seen and heard about CAS has been positive, also. That's a great club. Their 3 day annual is coming up in June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-BAR #18287 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Well, think about it. How many horror movies have there been featuring clowns, Santa Claus, cute fuzzy little balls of fur, and your next-door neighbor? How many have featured cowboys? Wait a minute... I think I just came up with the ultimate horror movie. Try "Ravenous"...not exactly cowboy, but it is about soldiers posted to a remote western outpost in 1840's, so you see some blackpowder guns. Deliciously gory, and a true horror movie, with familiar faces and a memorable soundtrack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
