Well I participated in my first cowboy type event this past weekend. It wasn't a full-fledged CAS shoot, but rather a handgun only event in conjunction with the Jesse James days at Kearney, MO. I've been watching this board for a while and have been trying to put together a set of guns that I can use for some match shooting. Considering that I already have the pistols I decided to give it a try. I was more than a little nervous because I was going to compete with a pistol that I had fired only 10 shots since it was new. Before that I had never shot a big bore SAA type gun. So I grabbed my Winchester cowboy ammo and my EMF New Dakota .45 LC and went lookin for a shoot. Boy was I glad that I did! I had TONS of fun and managed to win 3rd place among some pretty good pistol shooters. I think that I shall try to be more ready for next year and not show up so late. A big thanks to MOGorilla for posting the information here so I could get in on the event. I think that it has only strengthened my desire to get invoved with this cowboy shootin' thing.
