last year at WOWS - wisonsin old west shooters , my friend received his new leather set and some loading pouches for cowboy action shooting , the maker and i had been acquainted for years but i never had him make me anything over the 15+ years ive known him , he keeps a low profile - not a bad thing for a guy that makes high quality gear but does it at home alone ,

anyway , my friend had him make a wallet like loading strip for stage loading , i liked them a lot , i had just aquired a set of 38s last year and had not gotten around to all thats needed to start shooting them , ive always shot 45colt , im still working on getting all the reloading set up and was concentrating on the components , im still short on small pistol primers but working on it ,

to shorten the story - sitting around the campfire with a couple adult beverages i mentioned liking his wallets and one thing led to another - i ordered six for this years shoot in august , told him i was in no hurry , i had my revolvers and rifle , leather , was working on reload components and was sufficient on what ive shot over the years to go a few more without worry , but wanted to expand my options ,

i was told with that amount of lead time there would be no issue , i got the text today that they are on the way - if i was a bit more tech savy i might figure out how to post the photo he sent , they are great , i should have them this week , i hope i find primers but if not ill still be set for when i do ,

i got my dies set , tumbled my brass , have it all resized and ready to load , i have powder , bullets and just need primers - working on that [i did pick the absolute worst time to add a new caliber to the mix] now ill have the loading wallets for the six stages , i already have enough 38spcl loaded for one major shoot if i choose to this year ,

we shoot six stages on the first day of major shoots , they get reloaded for the four stages for the second day that night , im pretty happy with the new option ill have this year , hoping to get my son into this ,

i shot a photo with my phone and figured out how to send it by text to my friend , but have not figured out how to get it into my computer so i can post it yet , need a grandkid i think but not one of the six are here to help , havent set up email in my phone yet so i cant transfer it to that account to retrieve it here ,

i could dig out the digital camera and go that route but i need new batterys and we used the last of them in toys for the last birthday gifts , ill figure it out
