Nice photos, all of them. Add more if you have them. Please. It brings back good memories.

MORE! MORE! MORE!

;P

Plastic ammo boxes and a can of Mountain Dew on the firing line, what's up with that, didn't know any of those things could be authenticated....

Wymore,
I find snide nasty remarks quite uncalled for. Work on your self and the posse you chose to shoot with.

Wymore, I guarantee that everything on the shooter can be authenticated. As far as the shooting table is concerned I believe the can you mistook for an MD can is actually a sasparilla bottle with the top cut off and contains cleaning solution. The ammo boxes appear to be made of a dark wood, possibly ebony. At any rate, the cowboy on the right of the screen is on his way to remove items from the table. See the determined look on his face?

If anyone cares the photo of OT was taken at the test firing of the new 76 Win rifle. The bullets were supplied in the boxes present. This wasn't part of any match or competition,

Black River Smith · October 08, 2006, 10:15:48 PM

Now I see them. Trap is correct that was about 3:30 PM Sat after the shooting was over and after the Originals voting but before the Banquet. The offer was made to test fire the new 1876 Win. 45-60, by a group/vendor. The 45-60 ammo was supplied and stored in those plastic boxes and the can of MD was there. I was behind or on the side of the camera at the time. Good eyes Wymore.

Thanks for the explainations, plastic ammo boxes as we know are forbidden by the rules and the Mountain Dew can just looks bad, photographers beware of posting those items that are questionable....

Wymore, Black River Smith is right, AFTER the match was over for the day, the people who brought the 1876 to the National Shoot for testing invited several of us to try it out. They brought not only the rifle, but the ammo as well, in the boxes which you indicated.

Besides Mountain Dew is a tradditional beverage in KY

Thanks for sharing the photos and fun...!!

Despite the plastic ammo boxes and the can of Mountain Dew, I have to say that looking at the photos, I like the overall look of the participants. They don't look like they were outfitted at the local western wear boot store....

All in all, it looks as if we are headed in the right direction.

Ottawa Creek Bill · October 10, 2006, 09:20:48 AM

Look guys....
As bad as I hate to admit it......I gotta agree with Wymore...we've got to do a better job of policing ourselves.....that said, we don't owe him any explanation of any kind what so ever.....secret letters and all!!!

Great photos Doc....great memories too!!

QUICK!!! We have to switch to Coke products as "someone" is going to write a complaint letter to Pepsico for not "policing" beverages on the firing line. A "safety" violation if ever I saw one!

Ain't I a stinker!

Delmonico · October 10, 2006, 09:37:25 PM

Doc you did fine, I learned a long time ago if you don't want something to show up in a photo then don't have it out where it can be photoed. It ain't hard on a range with few visitors, very hard when there are several hundred of the general public walking around and the newspaper photographer wants a picture. I have one on file that is one of the best ever taken of me, I'm rolling a pie crust, don't know which tourist left the plastic water bottle right where it can't be cropped easy.

I deleted it from my computor file, but it is still on the disc of pictures that Oscar took. I tend to be ruthless with the delete button on pictures I don't like.

I'm a terrible photo editor but it's fun to try every now and then.

(ahem) Cardboard box on ground (cough) Nylon bag on table (grinning, ducking and running like h*ll)

Fact is, we will never eliminate all the "farby" things from our environment. I've never been to a CW reenactment that managed to do it for more than one scenario, and that is a rare thing. Even when we're out of sight of porta-potties, water tanks or tanker trucks, tall power lines and cell phone towers, aircraft, electric lights, etc., it's still pretty obvious that the cropped field grass, paths made by rubber-tired vehicles, wire fences and all such things means we're still not in 186X, Toto. One learns to ignore the things that can't be helped. 'Course NCOWS is a long way from first-person interaction too, but then, that's not why we're there to begin with.

By the way, the tendency of people to complain about things like that is also much greater in the CW hobby, probably because there are more people in the hobby and thus more people who like to stir things up just for s***s and giggles.
