Can polishing the faces of these be done at home or has to be a gun smith ? And done at home how ?

I am a Classic Cowgirl. If I dressed in Victorian attire, a straw hat (NOT a cowboy hat made of straw) would be considered proper attire. I prefer to dress like a working cowgirl - chinks/chaps, spurs, knife, bandana, etc. I wear a traditional style cowboy hat. I have yet to see a Classic Cowgirl wearing a straw cowboy hat. I'm not saying none do, but I have not seen it.

If I hadn't bought at least one cowboy gun before I went to a cowboy match, I probably wouldn't have been interested in cowboy action shooting at all. While I agree with the idea that buying the wrong things is an expensive mistake, the reality is that I would not be here but for wanting to buy a lever action rifle and have a reason to use it. Another coworker wanted to buy a SA revolver, and between the two of us, we realized we were halfway to the stuff we needed for SASS and ended up going to a match. That is why I disagree with the people who tell everyone not to buy anything, because if I didn't already want to buy things, I wouldn't be here. And probably neither would most all of you. It's easy years later after you ended up preferring something else to encourage people not to buy anything, because we all wish we got the stuff we really like the first time rather than having to do it over. But that's part of the process of getting into every shooting sport--you learn what you like by doing, not by hearing about it from other people or borrowing their guns long enough to shoot a stage. That said, if someone is already interested and willing to show up at a match, they should just do that, irrespective of whether they've bought anything or not. I do wish I'd gone to a match a long time before I actually did.

I think I understand this one. Classic Cowgirl allows straw hats of traditional Victorian design (see page 8 in the rules). This is an exception to the Classic prohibition. Except for these Classic categories and B Western, straw hats of traditional design are allowed, just no Shady Bradys. See page 4.

Might want to add 'NO SHIPPING" to the original post.

As an old gentleman, you can never be overdressed. A mirror, when you’re an old geezer Can leave you feeling distressed You should try not to do it while naked Go get yourself properly dressed And you know what I mean by properly A neatly pressed shirt for a start No backwards ball cap on your noggin No jeans that are falling apart A proper fedora’s a nice touch Or a Stetson if the mood is just right or even a Boater in summertime To ward off the sun’s rays so bright Properly cleaned and pressed trousers A crease like a knife’s a nice touch And a good belt to hold up your pants please Or you’ll look like a gangsta and such Shine your shoes, add a tie if you want to A vest if the weather turns cool But avoid a fur collared raccoon coat You don’t want to look like a fool Now go back and look hard in the mirror In you classy fine hat and new suit Go stroll around town with some pride for a change The young girls might say “Awww. Ain’t he cute!” They say “Clothes make the man”, well not always But they’re handy if it starts to sprinkle And one very important factor is They will certainly hide most your wrinkles

Weird things happen sometimes. “We can’t log you in”message. And then it logs me in! 🙄

Hi, is this a 10 or 12 stage match? Want to make sure we bring enough ammo. Thanks. Roper

Yep I have something for you. I'm heading up around noon. Should be there around 2:00 unless the interstate is all torn up.

I"m a novice at conversion cylinders, exactly what brand/etc does this fit ?

I've never been a honey person but every once in a while I'll have a taste of it. The best honey I've ever had was back in the 60's when much of Florida was a giant orange grove. The honey made from orange grove bees was the best of all. There used to be a local place called Orange Blossom Groves that sold honey, it was pretty good but the best honey was from the no-name bee keepers in Polk County. Boy, that was a long time ago now.

I wonder if it is as scary to people that live inland? Like if I see a movie that concerns earthquakes, that doesn't bother me because we don't have earthquakes in Florida. But I live on the Gulf Coast. Jaws scared the living hell out of me. Remember the sequel - JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT IT WAS SAFE TO GO BACK IN THE WATER. It's been 50 years, and it still ain't safe to go back in the water.

It's only about 4 boxes. Similar to ordering a few thousand bullets!

If it’s $50 for all 4 of them I will take them.

Hmmm. A roach clip with a digital thermometer. I do have to say, that roach is undercooked at only 134F though.

I've got two already. They are nice covers and just stuff enough to make them easy to put on. Great price! Good Luck with your sale!

This is a saweeeet deal!

Jaws still rates as the movie that scared me the most. Saw it at the Capitol Theater in downtown Clearwater when it first came out. Scared the hell out of me. The 1,000's of times that I went swimming in the Gulf of Mexico....who knew!!? I talked my step-father into seeing it the next day. He wasn't happy when I busted out laughing when he jumped up out of his seat during the scene where the shark bites the guys leg off and loudly said "OH MY GOD". Still don't like swimming in salt water.....
