Howdy from Ohio
« on: December 24, 2020, 12:46:40 PM »
I've been glancing at your forum for a few days now and decided to join in. I bought a couple BP revolvers some years ago and have only shot them a few times since. One, a 1851 Navy I sold and a 1858 Remington Navy that I kept. Wishing now that I would have kept the 1851 Navy made by Uberti and ordered from Cimarron. Recently though I just purchased a Pietta 1851 Navy and a Pietta 1860 Army. Hoping to get in a lot more BP revolver shooting then I did in the past.
Well, anyhow, hope everybody has a very Merry Christmas and are staying safe from this darn virus.

Welcome to the forum. When you get a chance, post photos of your shootin' irons. We're photo junkies here. :-H

Howdy fellow Buckeye. I am located on the east in the Mahoning Valley where the big deer are and surrounded by about four SASS cowboy action shooter's clubs of which I was a member at one time but had to give it up because of other important duties. Sure do miss the action though. There are a bunch of great cowboys and gals in those clubs.

I want to thank everyone for the nice warm welcome. I look forward to learning from you all. I do find that I have trouble trying to post though. I just replied to a poster here but it took me about 6 tries to answer all the questions before it was recognized that I was correct in my answers. I am puzzled by the process.

I guess I need help. I seem to have forgotten how to clear the browser. Afraid to really mess things up. Being 73 doesn't help either.
