In The Beginning

My husband and best pard, Dogie Jones, first introduced me to “Cowboy Action Shooting” back in 2002, but I took a firm stance against ever participating in the actual shooting side of the sport. It was enough for me to try to get a handle around dressing the part of a lady that may have lived back in the time between 1850 to 1899, but after a couple of years of playing hostess to our local club and telling every cowboy and cowgirl that visited how much fun it was, those words soon convinced me to give the shooting part a try.

Dogie now tells me that, that’s when he really started enjoying his shooting even more. It was a thrill for him to watch me as I took my first baby steps in learning how to handle the guns and then to actually start shooting.

Learning to shoot, and learning to shoot well has already taught me many things about myself that I would never have known otherwise; some of which are learning to move like it matters and practice doesn’t always make perfect, but perfect practice makes perfect. Welcome to my world of “Cowboy Action Shooting”
