There are seminars at the conventions about Original/Authentic items. Just last year I believe it was presented by members of River
City Junction Traders
. They discussed the use and general appearances of authentic apparel and accoutrements. Also the gentleman that was there handmaking original boots. He was more than willing to talk and discuss his items. The gentleman outside the doors(Steve Caldwell) showing off the original/authentic military equip. The hurst carriage and medical equipment.
Even you Matt where behind a table in an original looking military uniform promoting something (sorry don't remember what, sorry about that)
That is what NCOWS is all about or am I missing something. New shooting category or not, we all do qualify, to take part in, if we want too. It is a voluntary shooting category.
