I couldn't agree more with what Trap has posted. He has hit the nail right on the head.
Yes, NCOWS has rules and they must be enforced. But within those rules there is room for all to play the game and enjoy their Old West passion. If we are going to grow this organization in a healthy and vibrant way, we are all going to have to realize that we each play for different reasons, but that's just fine. No "us vs. them" attitudes should have a place in our outfit.
We have everything we need -- from Smokeless Shootist on the one hand to Working Cowboy and the Originals on the other. If a pard can't find something there or in all the classes in between, well, I don't think he/she is looking very hard.
So whether its 1 or 2 SA or DA revolvers, rifles, shotguns, pocket pistoils, buff guns, black powder or smokeless, male or female, youth or adult, NCOWS does have something for you.
