Shootist's!!!!!!

Captain Rob Page · September 26, 2008, 10:08:23 PM

The U.S. mail today brought a package with the May/June and July/August issues of the Shootist. Sure looks like some good reads!

My Shootist came today. They were worth the wait. The July/August issue has some of the best articles that I have read for awhile. Rowdy's artile on the 76 rifle was done very well. Books you made me want to go Period Correct and start camping. Very good job indeed!! You pretty well summed it up on the National Shoot Report Jim Mullins. Think this is the best issue that has been to the printer. Thank you to the editor, printer, and writers. This was a GREAT job. TJ

Don't know who that fat cowboy is on the cover with the color guard, however he is standing correct.

You look great, TJS.

It's that fat guy on the end who looks in pain I wonder about!

I got mine on Tuesday as well. Time to start reading them. Given that it takes sooooo long between issues - perhaps I should read real slowly.

GOT MINE! I can not believe the quality of this magazine with but amateur journalists and volunteer labor. Great job guys. great job. My hats off to the leadership of NCOWS and the Shootist once again.

The May/June issue was very timely for me since I just acquired a Colt New Service.

I went to the range today and boy does this gun shoot! My normal loads for the 45 Colt were a bit stout in this gun. Much like shooting a full load in a 44 magnum.

I think I'll try some 200 grain bullets so my old arthritic right hand doesn't hurt so bad

This may just be my competition gun for the next shoot..

same here Don... I've only seen two issues since Jan-Feb & March-Apr ... 5 months ago

I am convinced that the mail person opens mine, keeps it for a couple of weeks, then expertly reseals it and finally delivers it. She slipped up last time with the coffee and powder sugar stains on the front cover.

Major 2 · October 06, 2008, 07:48:45 AM

I used to get the SASS rag ...it came torn, dirty, sometime missing the first front pages.
Looked like it was use to pad out kitty litter.

I'm sure it was handed around before I ever saw it

Cutter Carl · October 06, 2008, 10:23:29 PM

Mine arrived last Thursday. Read them both, excellant articles. Major I really liked the Cracker Cowboy stories.

Major 2 · October 08, 2008, 08:27:00 AM

Thanks... I do some more in 09

I still havn't seen my copies though
