On this page I`m gonna to tell you stuff `bout where we shoot, who I shoot
with, the sort of
Smokepoles calibres and powders used by us
pards here in the UK, I have also put links to some of the CAS related sites
that I enjoy using
Me `n Annie `O` are posse members of the..Picketts Hill Marshals That holds monthly shoots at Headley Park Rifle and Pistol Club, situated in Hampshire U.K. We also Ran a very successful `Line Dancing Club` in our spare time for quite a few years, it was called the… Rockerbilly Western Dance Club (Click on the link `n get ta see a piccie of us!). Unfortunately, due to the continuing deterioration of my hips we had to close it down. It was a very sad day for us… we had one hell of a party! Laughed a lot cried a bit. But it was a time we will treasure forever.
We also shoot us a match called ..`The Plainsman` which I devised based `Very Loosly` on a combination of other single shot disiplines.I won`t bore ya`ll with details here but iffn ya`ll want ta know any more jest E-Mule me and i`ll glady give ya`ll details.
Shotguns.... We are not so restricted in the SXS and the O/U`s But iffn yer
wanting anything that holds more than 2 rounds it them becomes a firearm and
attaches all the security that you need for M/L handguns. Rifles.... Lucky for us, the restrictions on these do not apply to CAS.
Here in the UK the Only `Handguns` we can use are muzzle stuffers and so our
choice is somewhat restricted. That being said there are some.. Lurvly pieces
out there!! Most of the UK`s Western shooters favour the `58 Remmie which comes
in different flavours mostly by Pietta or Uberti.The second choice Is what is
commonly called the `Cattleman` and its derivatives, this is a Peacemaker turned
into a muzzle stuffer, it`s by far the most…`Cowboy looking` but unfortunately
it`s hellishly inaccurate, it`s trying to be something it aint!! and unless used
at Very close range even the best of us can`t
guarantee a hit! However, there is a ..`NKOTB` which comes in the shape of the `Ruger Old Army` (Click on the link `n get ta see a piccie of mine). which although had been around for years was only available with Target Sights to shooters in the U.K. which consisted of a BIG ramp forsight and an adjustable rearsight and that is totally NOT COWBOY!! There is more info about this pistola in my Shootin Irons page.
