This week’s spotlight is from down under. I met this shooter and his wife at EoT 2019. Great people and they had safe magnets. So, sit back and read what Charlie Wagon from Australia had to say.       Where do you live? (what state or country) I was born and bred in Victoria, and then moved to Queensland, Australia, in 2011 along with my lovely Pearl Starr. When did you start shooting CAS and how did you or who got you into the sport? I have been active in the sport of C...

With the world in a mess right now and everyone “Social Distanced” I thought why not talk about how A dark Day on the Santa Fe was a great match. Confederate Colt, Jane Deere, Yadkin, Rocky Creek and the rest of the team up there did an outstanding job. The stages were clean and fast and had challenges for everyone. Hats off y’all, keep up the excellent work. This year I decided to shoot Dark Day and seeing Madame Moog won cap and ball pistols at EoT last year. I though why not. Let me tell y...

We are going to try and keep an accurate schedule for everyone if they would still like to attend matches. We have reached out to as many Match Directors as we can and will be in constant contact with them about the status of their matches. If you are an MD, TG, etc. and would like to keep us updated we will maintain this schedule for anyone interested in attending. Any help is appreciated. Just comment on this post with updates, send us a message, or contact The OTJ with updates as they become ...

Hey Y’All, it’s been a while since I have blogged about shooting or Shelleen and I’s adventures. To be honest you haven’t missed much. Shelleen retired from working and is now a professional cowboy action shooter practicing 3 or 4 times a week with a couple matches thrown in there on the weekends. He is (was) steady whoopin me and he is such a modest winner. That is until first Sunday in February. I beat him at the Hernando County Regulators monthly match and finished 2nd overall. Bogus (bogug) ...

For this week’s Shooter Spotlight, we’re back down south to Florida. I am lucky to get to shoot with this young lady even though watching her run her shotgun makes me feel like less of a man. She is part of The Cracker Crew and you have probably seen her videos. Let see what Hawkeye Gin had to say.     Where do you live? (what state or country) Florida, Home of the Cracker Crew! When did you start shooting CAS and how did you or who got you into the sport? In the summer of 2...

This weeks spotlight is a nice polite young man from the frozen tundra or what everyone else call Canada. He's a fast shooter but he couldn't escape the ASN Bounty Hunt at EOT 2019. I personally, took him off the streets of Founders Ranch for a couple minutes before he made a break for it and shot a very fine match. Let's get to know Whistling Will.     Where do you live? (what state or country)    British Columbia, Canada   When did you start shooting CAS and how did you or wh...

Around the eastern US if you are shooting CAS, you may have seen an Angel. One of the sweetest ladies to play the game. This weeks spotlight is pointing at Dancin Angel. Enjoy.     Where do you live? (what state or contry ) New Jersey   When did you start shooting CAS and how did you or who got you into the sport? I started in 2003.  My husband Jesamy Kid had been shooting for a few years before me. When we first started dating I came to watch almost every match for about a ...

2019 was my first full calendar year in Cowboy Action Shooting.  It was a year full of new beginnings both for Chickie and myself.  When 2019 started, I was only 4 months into my CAS career and had a mere 13 matches under my gunbelt.  By the end, I've shot over 90 matches including 6 annuals.  Chickie was still months away from her first match at the dawn of the year.  I'd not even gotten all of my guns or gear and Chickie hadn't even started (besides her costumes) to get outfitted.  It seems li...

If you have shot a big annual match or some of the monthlies here in Florida, you have probably met my pal. He is the spirit of this game, always happy to see ya and has his merry band of tree huggers. We pointed the spotlight at Realtree this week. This is what he had to say. Where do you live? (what state or country)   I currently live in Land O' Lakes, Florida.  No, we don't make the butter.  My family moved here in 2006 from Anchorage, Alaska.  No, we did not live in an igloo.  I am ...

What can I say about 2019? I “shot” more than a few matches. Ides of March, Fl state, GA state, EOT, SC State and S.E regional, as well as too many monthlies to name. I met new people, made new friends and strengthened bonds with old friends. I look forward to the time we will spend together in 2020.   My shooting wasn’t very competitive this year. I was not able to close the deal at any state match. I place 2-5 in my category a couple times, but no 1st. I did win a couple over all monthli...
