Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 The local Cabela's has very few guns so they have started filling the shelf space with miscellaneous knick knacks. This was in the case where they would normally keep cap and ball guns. Remember this? It is at least 20 years old. I have not seen or heard about Hunter in a long time. Is he still around? I remember years ago buying a VHS tape about how to shoot cowboy by the Durango Kid. Unfortunately neither VHS or the Kid are around anymore.

largo casey #19191 Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Miss the Durango Kid here.He would put on some great shoots in Durango.We would get free rides on the Durango Silverton train. We would go all dressed up & wearing our Hardware for the ride.Our pictures are probably all over the world. The Mounted shooters would rob the train when it got to Silverton.GREAT TIMES.

Ethan Cord Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Unfortunately Scott (Bounty Hunter) passed away quite some time back. He was a personal friend. I have a copy of his book and VHS tapes. I actually came across an extra copy (new still in the plastic wrap) of the Top Shooter's Guide to the exciting sport of Cowboy Action Shooting on my book shelf. Great times!

Dogmeat Dad, SASS #48563L Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 I have that book as well. Times were much simpler then, we had what, 4 Categories? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Possum Skinner, SASS#60697 Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 That was the first book I bought about CAS and found it to be very helpful. I, have since, loaned it out to multiple new shooters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex Jones, SASS 2263 Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 I probably still have that book buried somewhere. As above, simpler times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk James Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Looks to me like they were advertising the shooting till the Roy Rogers title came up. Cover pictures are exciting. Would make me read on. It is about the shooting and friendships. The spirit of competition among friends helping each other. For me it is about the shooting; and the dress is part of it, not the other way around. Sorry I stepped on your thread. But I really believe this is the direction we need to go!!! Thanks for sharing. PS. We would not have to buy awards for 30+ categories, ten deep, if our shooters did not feel they deserved an award for the competition. Please note: It says the exciting sport of CAS. It is a sport if your into the competition and a great recreational activity if you love the dress and shooting the old firearms or any combination of both. Love this sport!!!!!!!

Hey Larsen got three of his tapes plus one from the Durango Kid. Don't know if he is still around or not. Will try & find out./ The tapes I have of his are Introduction cowboy shooting 1 & 2, plus The introduction one. Also have the tape from Durango Kid called speed & accuracy.

Wyatt Earp SASS#1628L Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 A little trivia about Bounty Hunter and how he chose his alias. I was shooting the 1991 Durango Junction High Country Shootout. I'd been shooting CAS for about two years and managed to come in at 5th place. My alias was Josh Randall. Bounty Hunter came in at 6th. I did not know him at the time. After the top 10 were announced this guy, dressed to the nines, including batwing chaps, comes over to me and introduces himself. He tells me he wanted Josh Randall as his first choice alias, but settled on Bounty Hunter, Josh Randall's occupation. Funny too that we share the same last name, though not related. Never shot with nor saw him again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somewhere in a box I have the 1991 & 1992 Durango shoot t-shirts. I also have some great photos of me, Flint Westwood, Brimstone Cob and his son. If I recall correctly, 1991 is the year Flint gave Marshal Law his new alias "Puke Lipwalker". But what happens on the range, stays on the range!

J-BAR #18287 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I have the book and at least one VHS video tape by Bounty Hunter. Never had the privilege of talking to him in person, but I consider him a mentor. So much has changed. (sigh) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
