Tex Jones, SASS 2263 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 26 minutes ago, Dragon Hill Dave #59561 said: Thanks Tex. Tom Payne is already recognized as a true Classic Cowboy, because he is a member of the Magnificent Seven! And having shot with him last year, I agree with your assessment. The other current members of the Magnificent Seven are Solicitor General, Hot Tamale, Needmore Gunz, Serenity and myself. Texas Ghost, Brother King, T-Bone Dooley, and Vance Montana are emeritus members. Thanks, Dave. Why does that not surprise me? In that case I will change my nomination to Travis Spencer. I was going to nominate Serenity, but don't have to now. Don't know many classic cowgirls, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is an example of the "Cowboy Way". Coming from you, Cody James, and SASS kicker, that says a lot. You guys have been great examples of the cowboy way since I met you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he found out about sass, he grabbed the saddle rifle he already owned (a uberti 73 in 45) and his existing TTN, got a pair of Vaqueros (he already carried one daily) and came to join us. He's always ready to help a new shooter, or a club. Has stepped up and joined the Board of one of the largest clubs in AZ. The man is always ready to do anything he can to help friends. And he shows up to matches in his horse trailer. You don't really get more "Cowboy" than Gus, and he's a true Classic gentleman +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Art Tillery Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Wish I knew more Classic Cowgirls to nominate for this, just don't get to meet many here in Kansas. Bump back to the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memphis Raines Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I would like to nominate Chili Pepper Kid. He is very much a classic Cowboy on & off the Range! From making Cowboy coffee at the range before everyone else gets there, to offering use on one of his many pipes after a shoot for a sweet smoke to calm your nerves when the shooting is done for the day. Not to mention his is one of the best spotters we have in our sport. He makes a great posse Marshall and leads by example. His only problem is he lives in Iowa... a fly over state. But he has been traveling the plains around here for many years! We consider him one of the finest Cowboys we have ever met! I did say finest not the fastest!

Major Art Tillery Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Been awhile, so figured I would get this back to top. Any more nominations out there? I know there has to be a lot more deserving Classics that need on this list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Hill Dave #59561 Posted September 7, 2017 Author Share Posted September 7, 2017 Nominations close on Sunday September 10th. --last chance to nominate someone or say a good word about one already nominated!

On 7/9/2017 at 1:30 PM, Dragon Hill Dave #59561 said: It is time again for you to nominate your favorite Classic Cowboy and Cowgirl for the Classic Cowboy Shootist of the Year and the Classic Cowgirl Shootist of the Year awards. We have had some fine winners and nominees over the years, and the Magnificent Seven want to continue the tradition. So give some thought to the cowboy and cowgirl who shoots the big bore guns, handles that hammered or lever shotgun with style, and dresses like a classic cowboy or cowgirl should. They don’t have to be the fastest or the showiest, they just have to have shown that they are willin’. Post your nomination in reply to this post. Give us some insight on their contributions to the category and the sport and why you think they should be one of our honorees. The Magnificent Seven will consider the nominations and announce their decision in the Fall with a presentation of the awards at Winter Range. As a reminder, here are our past Honorees: 2010: T-Bone Dooley 2011: Lefty Henderson- Shotglass 2012: RJ Law-Bella Spencer 2013: Big Six Henderson- Hot Tamale 2014: GW Ryder- Squawty Bawdy 2015: Doc Baker- Serenity 2016: The Tonic Kid- Marie Laveau Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calico Mary Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 In that case I second what Flint N Steele said about Cayenne Kay.....I'm not sure exactly what the criteria is for this award, but if sweetness and generosity have anything to do with it you won't find a better example than Kay! There may be faster Classic Cowgirls out there, but Cayenne Kay does pretty good with it, and does it with a lot of heart. I can't thank her and her husband Seamus enough for all they've done for me since I moved to Ohio. If I ever grow up (doubtful) or my guns do (even more doubtful) I wanna be just like Kay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Plinkerton, SASS #41905 Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Here's my .02. Dantankerous, he is most certainly a Classic in all aspects. He indeed walks the walk. Chili Pepper, another cowpoke that has indeed immersed himself into the depths of Classic Cowboy. Major, what can I add to what Dabnankerous has already stated. (Dabnabbit!) you guys are great examples of what a classic should be. And there are others. All the names on this list rate pretty high on my cowboy-meter, but one guy really sticks out in my mind. High Plains Hud. He's a cowboy, a classic cowboy, and he gets my vote. See you fellers down the trail! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dantankerous Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 High Plains Hud is definitely deserving. Not only is he a fine shooter and epitomizes the cowboy spirit, but every time I see him he's got a smile plastered on his face probably because he's just having so much fun. His good nature is infective and he is always the first one to congratulate you on a well shot stage or match as well as encouraging a cowboy to do the best he can but in a way that adds no pressure to said performance. His alternate alias could be Mr. Smooth, if you have never seen him shoot. High Plains Hud gets a vote from me as well. And I think Cowfolk from all across Kansas would agree with me when I say we are lucky to have HUD as a local cowboy shooter and friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon Hill Dave #59561 Posted November 30, 2017 Author Share Posted November 30, 2017 So many great nominees. It was a hard choice for the Magnificent Seven, and I complicated matters by being out of the country for nearly 3 months. But we have winners! Our Classic Cowboy Shootist of the Year for 2017 is Chili Pepper Kid. Our Classic Cowgirl Shootist of the Year for 2017 is Black Hills Barb. We are so proud of them. We will award them their buckles at Winter Range 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
