Pancho – I see your point about shooting and that in this crazy modern life when one goes out for a relaxing/fun time to make the most of it. And, as with other shooting sports/clubs, NCOWS is first & foremost a shooting organization. The trick, I believe, and constant struggle is to find the balance between shooting and history. NCOWS is the front line of finding a balance of some sort between the two. No easy task.
Delmonico – You have an extra sammich..?!?! I’m all for it, too bad you’re in Nebraskey and I’m in the north eastern section of the mid west. Makes visiting over some good chow difficult!
OCB – I own that most excellent Family Heirloom Weavers repro carpet bag and I, unfortunately, resemble ‘wispy’ in name only. As you know I’m a rather rotund fellow and thin/wispy doesn’t work for me as it would Jerry Barnes or Dr B. No matter, I’ll keep trying to get down to my fighting weight mon ami! By the bye, I hear-tell you’re coming to the state shoot in Michigan to film? Look me up, will be camped there with some pards. Only one of us is shooting and the rest of us will be lounging about, cooking up some grub, a-hootin’ and a-hollerin’ &c. If you’re coming let me know and we’ll sport you a cup of coffee (and it can be fortified if’n you and William are looking for an extra jolt…!)
