Guest Maker-Wright Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 You have 3 guncarts inside your house, two of which are no longer used for CAS, but are permanent furniture in your living room... one is a coat rack, and the other is a couch side-table that holds all A/V remote controls (this actually is the case in my home) You have a small house, and the most well-organized, nicest-looking room in the house is decorated and dedicated to nothing but caring for cowboy guns, and Cowboy Shooting sports (yep, that's where I live). when one bedroom is dedicated as a reloading room. when one closet and 2 trunks in the basement are dedicated for reloading supplies. ...........Widder Yep... When you come to the realization that a guest room may get used a few times a year... But a well lit, heated and cooled GUN ROOM will get used every week!

Cheatin' Chamberlin Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 I have another video in the works and it's going to require some assistance from the SASS community. The topic is "You might be a cowboy shooter if..." and each phrase will be followed by a video clip acting it out. 1. If you think the Pledge of Allegiance ends with "Yeehaw!" 2. If you walk around your house wearing your rig and dry firing. 3. If you don't know some of your closest friends' actual names. 4. If words and phrases like "Dillon 650, rig, '97, procedural, short stroke, staging, transitions, target placement, knockdowns, calibration, and front sight" are part of everyday conversation. 5. If you have more corsets or pairs of suspenders than modern clothes. 6. If your brand names for clothing include "Frontier Classics" and "Wahmaker." 7. If you're unable to make any gatherings with family (or sorely neglected non-SASS friends) on the weekends because of matches. 8. If you pose for your senior or family pictures with your match guns. 9. If the only vacations you go on are planned around out-of-state matches. 10. If the following conversation makes sense to you: (I'll have some of our gunsmiths in deep conversation) 11. If your newborn had his/her alias almost as soon as an actual name. 12. If the value of the shooting equipment in your vehicle exceeds the value of your vehicle. 13. If everyday chores are completed with transitions in mind. 14. If you find all of your other hobbies and chores are neglected. 15. If your calendar is kept by which Saturday of the month it is. 16. If your favorite fragrances include burnt gunpowder, Hoppe's No. 9, Ballistol, leather, etc. 17. If you see people in public places wearing civilian clothes and you think, "Dang, they're dressed funny." 18. If you're used to being stared at in public places and having people ask "Are you in a band?" or "Are you actors?" This is what we have so far, but I'd love suggestions. Be creative everyone. Thanks and Merry Christmas! Guilty on all charges!!! Cheatin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waimea Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 When you constantly try to improve your transitions no matter what you're doing.....pumping gas......taking out the garbage......etc Stan - who's a little freaked out by Wyatt thinking so hard about his happy bag. Putting away the dishes is the best. Movement, transitions. No breaking the shot though...break too much stemware that way. Don't be freaked out. Wyatt's just jealous he can't have any "happy" outta the bag. I usually just drink his share for him. Course, Wyatt's just a naturally HAPPY guy anyhow.

Too true! Mentioned shooting in a conversation with my urologist...he asked, "Cowboy Action?" & said his Dad had been doing this for a few years "back home in Georgia".

Hashknife Cowboy Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 if you live in AZ and refer to your CCW card as a "Frequent Buyer Card".... you buy pistolas in pairs... to the uninformed, an assault weapon is a Winchester 1873... during the recent NFR in Vegas you needed a drink after finding out Colt suspended taking orders due to too many orders... the thought of a new Henry 1860 rifle being made in the US is really big news.... and lastly if you've ever told your spouse that guns left unattended for more than 30 days in the gun safe really do germinate!

Krazy Kajun Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 When you walk into a gun store you haven't visited in a while you look for the section of double barrel shotguns and then look at all of the trigger guards looking for a single trigger in hopes you'll find an unmolested SKB. I had a pard here in Georgia (Dirty Dan Dawkins) that told me about one at a gun shop close to my house. The next day I went to the gun shop early in the morning and sure enough right there in the double barrel section was an unmolested SKB 100. I got that gun for several hundred dollars less than what it would have been priced here on the Wire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamrock Sadie Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 - When you file down your trigger fingernail so that it won't hit the trigger guard when levering your Marlin, avoiding breaking your nail. - When you file down your thumb nail to avoid breakage when reloading your '73.

Appaloosa Amy, #63949, CT Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Yes this is an extreme answer but...when you get into a car accident where air bags deploy and flying glass slices your 16 year old daughter's finger (needed 7 stitches) and the first thing she says while crying is "Mom, it's not my trigger finger" which she repeated several times to the firemen, EMTs, and doctors.
