Cowboy Campfire - February 2005
Lawman, Gunfighter, Straight-Talker, Gentleman to the ladies.
Welcome to the campfire pardner! Grab yourself some grub and something to wash it down with, and let’s hear how ya been. Me? Why shucks – doin’ fine, thank you. Just got back from Winter Range out in Arizona Territory and what a shoot-’em-up good time it was! Met lots of new folks there and was able to greet many of our old friends. The event just keeps getting better and better every year.
Say, you know, for all you cowboys and cowgirls north of the Mason-Dixon Line, the new CAS season is just started, or about to. Now is the perfect time to put some life into them shooters and your supplies, so you’re ready for the months ahead. Been lookin’ through the Brownells Cowboy Action catalog and found lots of great gear, so let’s take a look-see…..
One great item that all cowpokes take a hankering to is the cartridge boxes we carry from Cheyenne Cartridge Boxes. These have been a huge hit wherever Sal and I have shown them, and whether you reload your own ammo or just want an historic look for your store-bought ammo containers, these boxes are perfect. They come available for 14 different calibers, including one for the ever popular .45 Colt. Folks, these are truly authentic looking boxes. They’re constructed from sturdy chipboard with reinforced corners and wrapped in craft paper, with authentic looking design and period correct colors and graphics. For those of you with a western theme in your homes, these are nice enough to display with other historic items, yet strong enough to take lots of use in Cowboy Action matches. They look great and they perform great – what a combination! And, they come five cartons per package – at an attractive price, to boot! Take a gander at them on this same website and see ‘em in color – I think you will agree – these are a perfect accessory!
Here is another great idea, especially for gift giving to your shooting or hunting friends. The Brownells Gift Certificate #084-900-000 is the perfect answer for anyone hard to buy for, or, just so they can pick out the exact item they want. O do it on the web! It couldn’t be easier! Just phone-up the folks on Brownells order-line and they will be happy to assist – you set the dollar amount and we do the rest!
Since most of us cowpokes spend a considerable amount of time cleaning our guns, this next item proves mighty handy for me, as I am certain it will for you. Brownells Cleaning Rod Safety Case is just the trick for housing and transporting those expensive cleaning rods. This high-impact styrene case protects up to 4 rods, so you can keep all your rods in one safe container. Mar-free internal tubes protect rods from handle-to-tip and the padded end-caps lock securely. This case also features a nylon strap with adjustable buckle, and slings over your shoulder for easy carry. There is even a hook on the end for storage in the vertical position. Well worth the money, and great peace of mind for safe storage in its 59.5” length (3” OD). Yellow color makes it easy to spot, too!
Until next time friend, keep your aim straight and your belly full!
