Lankyframe #44046 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Howdy JP, come on down to Turkeyfoot we'd be happy to have you as a guest.. If you haven't done so already I'd hold off on buying any guns, etc. until you've been to a couple of matches. We all love to talk about our guns and gear and most people will let you try em to see if you like them. Lanky Frame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JP McLintock Posted February 4, 2020 Author Share Posted February 4, 2020 E.d., I may take you up on that offer, Morristown isn't as far as I thought, I have plenty of guns, my current favorites are omv, 1894 Marlin, and a 97, but wouldn't mind trying a sxs. I do need to make a different set of holsters and belt though. When do you have your matches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP McLintock Posted February 4, 2020 Author Share Posted February 4, 2020 Lankyframe, thanks for the invite, I have all kinds of guns, but I need to build a new set of holsters and belt, I'd love to take a look at the different gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mill City Maddog Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 I am also looking to start shooting, and I have found that Morristown is closest for me (in Minneapolis). I was thinking it might make sense for me to go and observe the two April events, before actually participating. I think I need to observe processes of a match, as well as how and what cowboys shoot in shotgun portion (I only shot one once 45 years ago). I would certainly like advice between now and then. I have an Uberti 1873 in .357, which was an easy choice since I’ve been checking them out for 20 years. I also have a Pietta Frontier in .357, probably will get a second one. I also need all the other gear, like a belt and holsters, so I really want to talk to some others before diving in. Thanks in advance for your words of advice, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance for your words of advice, Feel free to send me a PM I dont claim to be anywhere near an expert but I can try to help you avoid some pitfalls.. I'm in the board at morristown as well as kimball both are great clubs to shoot at. As stated earlier I should have gear you can use and different guns to try to see what you like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Baylor's Ranger Camp on his website: curtrich.com. It gives you a lot of information on guns, gear, etc. There are a host of YouTube videos concerning CAS (Cowboy Action Shooting) that will show you how firearms are shot. Don't be put off by the speed of some of the shooters, such as Matt Black, Deuce Stevens or Evil Dogooder. They are exceptions. Most of us are a bit slower.

Riverboat Red, SASS #71733 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 JP and Maddog, Welcome! Like everyone's said, there's lots of good shooting near you guys. If you're like me, and I know I am, you'll probably end up shooting at more than one club. I'd be happy to talk with you about the local shooting scene and especially about the Cedar Valley Vigilantes near Morristown, MN. Send me a PM and we'll get the ball rolling.
