Details
Part of the mystique of the Old West is the incredible tales, sometimes embellished, but often entirely true.
For example, if you were a ne’er do well in late 19th century Montana, would you think twice about tormenting a town with the markings “3-7-77” on the doors? You should. Better yet, turn around and skedaddle before a shockingly efficient secret society of vigilantes picks up your trail.
There’s plenty to learn about the guns and other weapons. You might be surprised at how long various Indian tribes favored the seemingly out-of-date bow and arrow — even after the advent of firearms. And with good reason. While bullets make nice clean holes (relatively speaking), flint arrow tips tend to make a royal mess of things not only going in but also coming out.
Inside are some stories for the modern-day cowboys and cowgirls, too. Want to learn the joys of smoke-and-awe-filled black powder shooting? How about tips to reload classic “Western” calibers like .44-40 and .45 Colt? That’s covered also. And much, much more.
You will enjoy this edition of Old West: History, Guns & Gear. Sit back, read a story or three, and appreciate the comfy life we all enjoy now.
