There are these pards (God rest'em)

 

The Rattler: he was one of those guys that naturally command attention and was all about the cowboy way and shoot'in. A real motivator.

 

Buckshot Ed: when I first started out I admired him for his "not to be stopped" determination; because of a shoulder injury he'd carry a big stick to act as support for his rifle. He shot stout loads and was pretty fast too. He looked and spoke just like Slim Pickens, least I thought so.

 

Wiley Walt: He was an Elder Statesman, wasn't a big feller but was one tuff pard. He shot in all conditions hot, cold, rain....I didn't know at the time that he had been Captain in Marines, so I guess that explains a lot about him right there. I always pictured if there was a shoot-out he would be the grampa cowboy stationed upstairs in the cabin offering cover fire cause he was steady and never missed.

Buckshot Ed and Wiley Walt were my riding partners for over 6 years. As Toon pointed out Ed was a unique man. From an accomplished Ball Room Dancer to a scuba diver to at one time one of the guys to beat in the Midwest. He shot through pinched nerves, cancer, leg amputation and you never heard him complain. Always that big smile on his face.

 

He taught me about cowboy stuff, reloadin,etc...but more importantly he taught me about never giving up. If he liked you he would ride the river with you. ....and as Furball knows, if you don't wear your seat belt you get one warning and then his big fist in your shoulder and that man had big hands.

 

Walt; Always experimenting with the powder charge...you never knew from month to month what he was going to shoot from cap and ball to anything else he had. In the process there were a lot of squibs. I can always remember yelling "Kill em all Walt" and he would freeze for a second in the jogging position and let out a warhoop and then would slowly walk to the next position. He was proud that he often shot clean...slow, but clean...lol.

 

Walt was a Marine officer for 20 years, a school teacher until he retired from that and he was an overall good man. When Walt and Ed died within a year of each other it put a big void in my life. I have a lot of reminders around that keep me aware of their presence and our club has a beautiful memorial for them and others that have passed.

 

I miss you boys.....KK

Every shooter I have met. But some are special. Between Scouting and CAS, all my best friends have come. Not friends -thet be FAMILY. And wives. Some of the most tolerant wimmins I have ever known....... especially Montana's!

Let me add Longshot Logan to our list.

 

For his wonderful sense of humor, and for showing us how to make gunstocks look better than when they came from the factory, and for making the metal parts look like antiques. His instructions have allowed me to spend many enjoyable hours dressing up some of my guns.

 

I miss his craziness.

I have only been shooting CAS about five years so my list is fairly short, But those people have made a big impression on me.

 

Cowboy Carty

TA Spurs

Count Sandor

Ole #7

Grannie Annie

Lanky Frame

Sanburr

Colt Wesson

Fancy Bob

 

There are several shooters that have helped me along the way that I may not even know their names but also had a big roll to play in my shooting.

 

None of my mentors, thankfully have passed

 

I would not be the shooter I am without their help and encouragement.

 

Wait just a minute I just realized not all of them should be on my list!!! But you know who you are. :P

There are a few more but I don't want to them to get a big head. :)

 

I hate to make a list because I will always forget someone. All of my close shooting friends know I am grateful for all their help.

WoW!

 

There are so many Cowboys/Cowgirls out there that I have known over my years in this shooting family of friends that there isn't enough room to put them all down. They have all inspired me in many ways and still do. My family members are at the top of the list as they themselves inspire the heck out of me.

 

See you all on the range!

My first match, my first stage RO'd by my dear pard Snake Eyes Frank and the welcome I got from the rest of the posse that day left a lasting impression on me.

The kindness of Red Haymaker to offer assistance and advice to a goofy lady he didn't know with really big guns that she was trying to learn to shoot one-handed because she wanted to be a gunfighter.

The kindness of Cactus Cris and the More Powder Posse to take in a lady shooting BP - back when ladies shooting BP was downright abnormal.

I miss my friend Annie Lee - the only woman that I could talk to about reloading and sewing.

 

All the pards in Texas. All cowboys are nice, but a lady traveling to a match solo gets some kind of special Texas hospitality.

There just is no way to thank all of the folks in SASS who have inspired me. The list would run pages and pages. Instead, I'll thank the SASS people as a whole. Ya'll have enriched my life like no other person or people could. Ya'll have made me a better person in life on the range and in real life. I sincerly thank you all.

 

I will thank one person........my Dad, Cypress Sam. The man who pestered the hell out me until I went to a match. You've done a lot to make my life better but getting me into SASS is, without a doubt, the one most important and life changing event that could have ever happened to me. Thanks Dad.
