Welcome!

Chuck's Cowboy Shooting Blog is a simple little place where I log my activities in the world of Cowboy Action Shooting. I am new to this hobby, so I hope to grow in experience and wish to share any knowledge that I come across. This blog will also be used to share some of the rich history of the Old West that I come across. Enjoy!

The Devil's in the Details

So, this week I recieved another order from the fine folks at River Junction Trading Co. Not much, but a few little things that really make a costume: the details!

First up is my bandana, a red silk bandana to be exact. It really adds a splash of color to an otherwise very brown costume. I also bought a Mexican Peso bandana slide, which I think is really classy looking and contrasts nicely with the red. Finally I bought my badge.

My character/alias, "Chuck Chambers," is a Deputy U.S. Marshal from Montana, so I got a Deputy U.S. Marshal badge. It's heavy metal, and really looks the part.

The only things left to complete my "basic" costume is a pair of boots and spurs. Those are on the list to get next month when I get paid.

Until next time.
