Photo Contest........with prizes!!!
« on: July 17, 2021, 08:22:18 PM »
Okay fellas, I'm sponsoring a photo contest. The winner will get a custom holster, made by me for his favorite revolver. Sound good?

It's very simple. Post a NEW picture of your favorite black powder gun.

Cap and ball or flinters only. No cartridge guns.

We'll let it run until the end of the month, then I'll put all the pictures in a separate thread with a poll.

We'll let that run for a week or so. The winner gets the holster.

Don't be shy! Post a picture! Get out in the yard and get creative with your camera. Let's see what you can come up with.

You have nothing to lose, and everything to gain! So let's see your pictures!

Good luck!

Maybe this will help drum up some interest. A little sampling of my work.














So c'mon, let's see your pictures. You could be the lucky winner! Or unlucky, depending how you look at it!  *6'

Anyone who has a qualifying gun should take advantage of this opportunity to win one of Dave's holsters. His work is first rate. So far, Lyle is at the head of the pack.
