Cowboy stuff for sale
« on: September 18, 2021, 06:23:55 PM »
I have finally had to admit that I am unable to shoot any more. :-\ I shot almost every week for 11 years, over 500 cowboy matches, beginning when I was 70 Years old (I will soon be 85). It was a good run. After my wife passed away last May I kept thinking that I would get back to shooting, but I am just not physically able to do it.
Both my regular doctor and the cardiac center in Oak Ridge have run lots of tests, but have had no remedy, so I am now undergoing a series of tests and exams with a specialist at U.T. Hospital. This will be ongoing for the next few months. Meanwhile, I am going to be selling my cowboy stuff.
There are rifles, shotguns, pistols, handloading equipment, casting equipment, loaded ammo, and a few components.
My plan is to load what I have time and energy for into my truck and come to the Oak Ridge, and maybe Ocoee shoots. I will plan to be early.
If there is no objection, I will pull up beside the pavilion and open up the truck, unloading some stuff onto the pavilion tables.
Meanwhile, if there is something you are in need of, you can check with me. Just send me a pm to establish contact.
Thank you for enduring this lengthy vent.

Critr,

We are so sorry to hear that you are not able to shoot.  You are still the King of Clean Matches! 

I know everyone would be interested in seeing and visiting with you if you will still come out to matches to visit.

p.s.  Jackalope and I were literally just talking about you a couple days ago, wondering how you were doing and when you would be back out.

Really sad to hear you will not be able to shoot with us anymore.
I know you said you will be selling some of you gear, so we will be seeing you at a few matches.
As Anita said, you are still the king of clean.
Take care

You have been greatly missed and prayed for Critr.
I want to thank you for all the help and coaching you have given me. I am still trying to put into practice what you told me many many times.

Well, I'm saddened to have Critr stepping away from shooting. We enjoyed shooting together and our friendly rivalry. Wishing you Happy Trails my friend.
