Pancho, I would agree totally with this list, if there was more than a remote chance I will ever get to join in with an NCOWS group.
But considering Here is how I would interpret the list...
The smell of real black powder... That be all I shoot
Hand sewn gun leather... Yep done made my own and love it
Seeing a S&W 44 DA on the line... I only see C&B shooting and love that.
Chewing cud around the camp at Nationals... One of the best things about like minded groups, even a group of two.
The jingle of 4 Morgan dollars in your pocket.... Think I need to get these for my own self.
Watching folks bring their kids and grandkids to learn to shoot... Love watching new people learn in-spite of their age.
Reading the time from your pard's 1880 pocket watch.... This one I have and my friends read it.
Sharing time with good friends . . . remembering the last match and looking forward to the next one... only our own.
Running with an outfit that values the Real Old West, not what Hollywood or a TV show thinks it might be . . . now this is the big one.
I wait each day for the arrival of that packet, because I want to be associated with people that feel this way. It will keep me honest and give me something to think about every day and to strive for long term.
Have now reached day 23 and going crazy waiting for the mail to arrive ... yet saying to my self "probably won't be there".
Thank you too everyone for the welcome to the group. I just want to be official.
