....but not to shooting. My dearly departed wife, bless her soul, passed some 2.5 yr ago; COPD.

Long story short, she asked if I wanted to go to a local gun show up in OKC, so we went, even though we had a 12G pump and 22 semi in the house, this was back in 1999. First piece I saw at the show was a hammered coach gun in 12g - and well the rest of the story, from there is down hill at full speed. Yup - we dun turned into CAS shooters Presto-Chango complete with costumes, "old" model Vaqueros (blued, 7.5") in 45C and Win model 94s in same caliber and a 20 for the wife and the 12g coach fer me. The sport got me into handloading and after a bit I couldn't even consider a new caliber in our safe if I wasn't hand loading! So after a bit I was loading more than I ever thought about.

I suppose that I'll be able to post pics, so hold on while I figger it out on this here web site.
