There MUST be a dealer in Canuckistan that handles guns for the CAS crowd, yes?

MarStar carries Piettas.

Get on Canadian Gun Nutz for good used guns and dealers.

Pards:

We are again affiliated with SASS for 2020.
We will be 6 shoots in 2020.
They are the first Saturdays.
04 APR
02 MAY
06 JUN
01 AUG
05 SEP
03 OCT
There will be no shoot in July because it would fall on Independence Day.
They are held on Range #1 at the Izaak Walton League #65.
It is located 3.5 miles east of Lincoln on Hwy 4 and south 0.5 mile on 134th St.

New for 2020!!
We are going to allow 1911's to be used in place of your CAS six-shooters for the first 2 matches.
If it is successful, we will adopt it.  We will also allow shooters to go through the stages twice (in different categories).

And we will have our after-shoot field trips to Work-N-Ranch for refreshments (and replacements) just a couple miles east of the range.

Contact me if you have any questions.

There were 17 Canadians with the 7th Cavalry at the Little Big Horn, two officers and 15 other ranks.  Both officers were killed.  Lt W.W.Cooke, Custer's adjutant was from Mount Pleasant, ON., now a suburb of Hamilton, ON and Lt Donald McIntosh who was born at Jasper House, AB.  McIntosh's father was an employee of the Hudson's Bay Company.  Donald's mother Charlotte, was the daughter of a Chippewayan woman and an English factor.

Cooke was killed with Custer at Last Stand Hill and McIntosh was killed in the valley during Reno's retreat to the hilltop.

Just as an aside, Cooke's saddlebag gun, a Remington .44 cal  cap and ball revolver and his farrier's knife were recovered by the NWMPolice frpom a Sioux when they escaped to Canada after the battle.  Cooke's holster and knife both had his name on them.  They were returned to Cooke's family and on April 6, 1999, Cooke's great-nephew, Blake Cooke was selling both items at a gun auction at Red Deer, AB.  I attended the auction and had both items in my hand.  They sold for $60,000 CDN to an American buyer by the name of Art Unger, from Hicksville, NY.  There were only two bidders with the other one being from Calgary, AB.
