cowboy
A cowboy is an animal herder who tends cattle on ranches in North America, traditionally on horseback, and often performs a multitude of other ranch-related tasks. The historic American cowboy of the late 19th century arose from the vaquero traditions of northern Mexico and became a figure of special significance and legend. A subtype, called a wrangler, specifically tends the horses used to work cattle. In addition to ranch work, some cowboys work for or participate in rodeos. Cowgirls, first defined as such in the late 19th century, had a less-well documented historical role, but in the modern world have established the ability to work at virtually identical tasks and obtained considerable respect for their achievements. There are also cattle handlers in many other parts of the world, particularly South America and Australia, who perform work similar to the cowboy in their respective nations.
The cowboy has deep historic roots tracing back to Spain and the earliest European settlers of the Americas. Over the centuries, differences in terrain, climate and the influence of cattle-handling traditions from multiple cultures created several distinct styles of equipment, clothing and animal handling. As the ever-practical cowboy adapted to the modern world, the cowboy's equipment and techniques also adapted to some degree, though many classic traditions are still preserved today.

Its time I finally scratched this itch. Would like to try before I jump in. I have a TCGC membership and am action range certified. Fast drawing is not allowed at the club but I'd like to get the feel of a true raced fast gun and holster. Of course any ammo/supplies I would cover. I do have...
Does anyone know of anywhere in the SW Washington or Portland area that has Cowboy Action matches. I’m thinking about getting into this and would like to see a match in person.
Well my reloading dies won't arrive for a while and I "need" to pick up a box of 45LC Cowboy (low velocity) rounds.
Anyone know of a store in Vancouver or the PDX area that would have some in stock that you've seen? Trying to avoid calling/driving to every possible location.
Thanks in advance!
An old man wearing a cowboy hat and looking like character actor Wilford Brimley, caught a robber armed with a revolver off guard, and managed to subdue him with the help of store employees.
The moral of this story? Never turn your back on an old cowboy.
