My son William is a new member of NCOWS as of this year. Will is 26 and has been into reenacting literally since he was in diapers. We are currently woking on an impression for Will for the years 1861-1886 based on the life of Mickey Free, scout and interpreter for Crook and Miles in the Arizona Territory.
Will is a mechanical engineer and has been a SASS member for about 10 years. It took some talking to get him to join another shooting venue, but the big factor of him joining NCOWS is the Originals class because of the strict historical aspect of that particualr class.
