Mosey on over and share in the coffee and the conversation.

There's good folks in these parts.

[Steel Horse Bailey]

Yes - he has a point ... but if he wears a hat, it doesn't show ...

[Steel Horse Bailey]

Welcome Bill!  Welcome 10 Woofs!

Bill, I'll call you tomorrow.  (Tues. Afternoon)  I expect to hear that you have at least another 50-100 rounds cranked out on that new Dillon RL550 we set up today!


 

[kflach]

After lurking on the NCOWS and historical forums and checking the back pages, I couldn't put it off any longer and I joined today. I finished up my MA at the University of Idaho this past spring, so I have a love of all things history, but particularly western and military. I'm working on a couple of personas as well, and have some components put together. Late 1880's (Probably 1888-9) cowboy, born in Arkansas. I'm also working on US Army officer (already a member of the GAF), and toying with the idea of Texas Ranger. My era will probably be moved around a bit too, I was lacking a shotgun aside from borrowing my dad's hammerless s x s, and I happened to pick up a 1887 lever at Cabela's for a steal on Tuesday, so that's the limiting factor on that for right now. I'd love to pick up a 26 inch hammer double from Cimarron, and that'd move me back a few years. I've got a Uberti 1873, 1876, and a pair of Schofields (with 1875 Remingtons as backups) as well as that shotgun as my main go to guns for SASS. I've picked up "I See by Your Outfit," "Cowboys & Trappings of the Old West," "Packing Iron," "The Texas Rangers: Wearing the Cinco Peso, 1821-1900," and "Indian War Veterans: Memories of Army Life and Campaigns in the West, 1864-1898," just to name a few. Always best to get it right the first time rather than spending money to fix mistakes!  It's the geek in me but I love research, what can I say. I'll be sure to post pictures of my progress and kit, and I aspire to the 'Master Level' from Marlan Ingram's articles. Overall it's been a lot of fun so far, and I haven't even been a member. I look forward to diving in, attending matches, and meeting new friends!

Regards,
Peachey

P.C.  Glad to have you here. Even better that you've got the right approach to old west historical recreation from an historical perspective. Keep on keeping on with the research in all of your endeavors, such will only set you up for success. I hope you're keen to consider making your own clothing and equipment based on your research. If you ever have a question about that sort of thing please PM me.

Again, welcome aboard and I'm looking forward to your contributions, thoughts, and whatever research & documentation you care to share. It's good for all of us.

I will do my best to keep Kevin in line around here, I just happen to live near him. It's a tough job, but someone's gotta do it.  A hearty welcome to our new members.

[Irish Dave]

Welcome to camp, Red. Proud to meet 'ya.
Been to your neck o' the woods a few times. Might purty country up there. Glad to see you here.

[kflach]

Welcome aboard Red!

@TL;
Keep Kevin in line? Good luck with that pard, even my parents and wife haven't been able to succeed.




And they have cattle prods.
