Cheers;
The English Stranger started cowboy shooting in October of 2001 with the Pawnee
Station a SASS affiliated Cowboy Action Shooting Group. All of the people that
I encountered there were the friendliest I've seen in a long time. Before I go on
I first want to thank:
| Big Hand Mike - New Shooters Information
|
|
| Henni Penni and Ol'Cuss - Registration
|
If you have any questions about cowboy shooting in Northen Colorado please e-mail them.
They not only talk to me, but also had additional firearms and leather I could use to
see if I enjoyed the sport. That way the lay out of money was very small to begin with.
