Sweathogs...!

Up your nose with a rubber hose!

Now THAT'S funny!

A Shady Brady was once described as a straw hat that looks like a pheasant exploded on the front of it. IIRC Horace

Decorated with feathers like Richard Petty, I think was the original intent but now many straw styles are called that.

I used to watch that show back in the day...

The best thing about honey is you can add water and yeast… and presto change-o you get mead. Probably the easiest thing to home brew.

The Holy Black would be appropriate. 🤠

I am, as always, the odd man out - I use Ramshot ZIP for my 38 Special ammo, same load rifle and pistol. Sometimes, you use what's on the shelf...when I run out of ZIP, if I can't find anymore, I have enough Accurate Arms #2 to last for about 10,000 rounds! Usually use that in 9mm. I JUST started loading shotgun and the only thing I could find was WST, which has been a good "training" powder for now. Still working out the kinks of figuring out how shotgun reloading works, not exactly the same as metallic cartridge loading! As mentioned, the full length brass shells are easy to load, (not as easy as my Mec600Jr, but not hard at all), I actually started loading 12 ga doing the MagTech brass shells. Those are really black powder only, even if I do have a couple of Red Dot loads in the manual I got from Midway.

This Saturday, July 19, Wartrace Regulators will have our July, Cowboy/ Wild Bunch Match. It is summer so start hydrating early and bring your rain gear just in case. Registration starts at 8:30, Safety Meeting at 9:30 and shooting starts shortly afterwards. Fees are still $15 members and $20 non-members. Remember we dress according to SASS rules and do not have a summer dress code. Wild Bunch will be shooting stages 1-5 and Cowboy shooters will be on stages 6-10. Hope to see you at the range Saturday! Randy

You are a lucky man.

Go to your room! 🤣🤣

I broke down and bought a straw hat for summer shooting, because as much as I love my bowler, It's black with a short brim...and summer in Southern AZ is no joke. So, straw it was, and yes, we have some "relaxed" rules for summer wear. No, I have no idea why I have such a stupid look on my face, it was a quick photo for reference. Now, I read the handbook, but the funny thing is I still have no idea what a Shady Brady is...

Yes, but it doesn't require a revision to the rules to do. I'm not opposed to the use of .22s as a local matter, stopgap measure, but altering the rules will fundamentally change the game. But, continue down this path, and soon folks'll be shooting in tennis shoes, short sleeve shirts and any other manner of accoutrement they see fit as the cost of boots and hats and cowboy duds is "too expensive" for me... Alas, cowboy action shooting will be dead and gone. (If it isn't already, as least as conceived and promulgated by its' founders).

The tail plane and overall layout is similar to the Soviet Ekranoplan

No, you had that right, it's an addiction...no cure needed.

It's a little far from you but the Delzura Desperados host a Sunday School once a month which is essentially an open shoot for anyone to practice or stop by to see what it's all about. I started last August by just showing up, paying the South Bay range fee, and trying a few guns of the members that were practicing that day. Started collecting my guns almost immediately and then shot my first match in December. It's a great low pressure way to get addicted, I mean started. The next one is on 8/10. https://www.dulzuradesperados.com

My grandpa left me with a tackle box full of old and valuable lures (mostly tri-hooks) or as I call them "trouble hooks"! I could have saved them and sold them for a good price but thought grandpa left them to me to fish with. That's what I did and caught everything from bass to walleye and perch with them but in time over the years most were lost to snags from logs, rocks and who knows what? Thanks to grandpa I caught some mighty fine fish over the years!☺️ The best catch was a 4 pound bucket mouth back in 78"!🤩

When I started getting interested in the sport, I took advantage of the online Handbook and read it "cover to cover" a few times BEFORE I went to my Orientation with Colt Laredo. Every once in a while I get an itch and I just pull it up and peruse it again. HUGE help making sure what I could use and what I couldn't use. Unfortunately, one of this BIGGEST helps was the fact that Wild West Mercantile brick and mortar store was a few miles away from the range, and I got to try on and spend more than a few coins there. I say unfortunately, because they closed the brick and mortar store and went online only. Which brings me to - the Classified here, you are probably going to find a few items you can use - I did. https://www.sassnet.com/uploads/downloads/Shooters Handbooks - CAS/CAS 2025 SHB - Vers 27.9 - May 2025 - FINAL.pdf

If he would have done a quick search he would have known we only use lead bullets. No excuse!

I’ve had a lot of success with your 125’s, Slim. (Plus 180 gr .45 & 200 gr for .44-40.) I still have a good supply bought just before you closed up! 😊

Are these 3 or 4 click guns?
