Howdy!  Been an NCOWS member for a couple of years now, but haven't shot at an NCOWS match.  Any posse formed or forming in the southern Oregon area?

I don't know but the best thing to do is to contact the NCOWS office and find out how many members might be in your area.

Recently some ppeople who are SASS members and shoot with their local SASs club have sounded out other members to see if they might be interested in starting a NCOWS posse.  Many times they are able to use the same range.

Not to my knowledge. Big Hext Finnegan and some of his pards were thinkin' about it a little while back, but don't know whether that's still in the cards or not.

Like Dave said, I think Big Hext and Three Legged Dog have put the idea on hold for the present.  :(  I have told Hext more than once that if any place should have a NCOWS posse it should be TEXAS ;D

There aren't but the requirements are pretty simple.  Check out Will's post on TFS.  http://www.frontierspot.org/viewtopic.php?t=8120

Regardless of posses, the Shootist and specifically Marlian's column is worth your membership dues.

Right now, it's just not in the cards.. If you head over to TFS and read the NCOWS past posts, you may get an idea about the issues surrounding setting up an NCOWS posse in SASS territory.

I think NCOWS is a fine organization and deserves the support of CAShooters who are authenticly minded.
Adios,

I am offically a NCOWS member #2244. :) ;) :D ;D 8)

Trap, welcome to CAS City. We will do our best to feed your monkey ;).  We still don't have the traffic here that I would like to see.

Perhaps if we all checked here first before going to other sites it would get more active.  Afterall this a continuation of the oldest CAS site.

Not that I'm aware of.  NCOWS does have it's own page but I'm not sure how current it is.

Since I moderate the NCOWS pages on both sites with the blessing of both the Marshal and El Cajon I try not to promote one over the other.  Both are well managed and the participants well mannered.  I am proud to associated with both and feel that this small bit I do might help promote NCOWS to the rest of the country.

Will,
  Well, you wanted a howdy from us new members here, so consider this a Howdy-do.

  Been reading all the NCOWS messages. Used to be a member several years ago but got out of the habit. Wonder if they'd let me have my old number back??  :)

  See there has been some "slippage" in what's considered authentic, but not in the discussions about what it constitutes. Hope it doesn't get to bad. Authenticity was the reason I joined in the first place.

  Might have to join back up as some of the guys have been bugging me to shoot the Baffalo Match again. Was a lot of fun.

Howdy Will, ;D

I've read what you wrote on both boards and find you have a lot of meat on the bones of knowledge you throw out.  I glean a lot of info from you, Hext, Capt.,Florabama,  by golly even learned a lot from Slim! (No offense Slim, you seem to be the one that has the most humor in his messages).

Cas-City is the first site I vist each time I check in.  the format to me is the easiest to moussy through, and the colors ease the reading.

I ponder about joining NCOWS, reading the threads sounds like a good organization and the magazine gets a big plus whenever its mentioned.

the only thing a holden me back is, ain't no posse out here in the Oregon country and the matches are all out east of here. (opps, forgot about the Calif. Posse!)

Ride on and Have fun!

Brazos Bucky, thanks for the kind words.  As for no posse why don't you hop over to The Frontier Spot at www.frontierspot.org and go to the NCOWS forum.  At the top you will see a sticky about strating a posse.  You can also check with Joss House and French Jack who both started new posses recently..
