Meet the Crew

   When Ron finds some free time for fun stuff it's usually with a gun in his hand. Not to worry he hasn't knocked off a bank in years... but instead, being interested in guns he found an outlet in the popular sport called Cowboy Action Shooting.
As you'll see in this picture of Ron (We'll refer to him as Virgil when he dons the authentic garb) looks just like a page out of history at the Cowboy Shoots. Judging by his expression I bet the fella next to him scored a bit higher than ole Virg.

   As you can see, Virgil's Premiere Sheath Craftsman, J.Kelley, enjoys shootin things too.
Her favorite weapon at the Cowboy Shoot is a shotgun. As I recall she said something about
having some hard steel that's longer then her 6" sidearm in her hands to be very satisfiying.
I have been very impressed with Kelley's Sheath's and I am certain that good
looking rig on her hip was home made! You'll see examples of her fine work throughout as you look at Virgil's knives.

   John Vukos (The tall drink of water next to Virgil) is the Artisan that turns a plain brass bolster or finger guard into a work of art with his expert engraving. He too has joined in on the fun of Cowboy Action Shooting. I haven't asked Virgil how good a shot he is but one thing will be for sure; he'll have the best looking gun on the grounds. See the Engraving link for examples of his work on the website.

   Err, Maybe I was wrong about that Bank Thing...

   The Sheriff decided to deputize Virgil so the bank could keep it's money.
That smile can only mean one thing...Go Ahead...Make My Day.

   Now where did I leave that darn horse.

   Two guns are always better than one.

  Even "Wanted" Cowboys have Birthdays.
  I think this Desperado should bring in more than 3,000 he's
  pretty dangerous. You can see it in his eyes! He'll kill you and
  you're Dog too.

   Rusty (In Red) looks a little bored timing Virgil.
  Word on the Street is Ole Virg actually shot so fast that he got    in three sets before Rusty could press the stop watch.

   Virgil times J. Kelley as she drops the targets faster than
   my wife would drop me if Johnny Depp asked her out.
   (Yup, J. Kelley Master Leather Crafter... one in the same)

   As you click on this pic to inlarge it you'll notice one thing.
   There's not one Indian in sight. Thanks Virgil for protecting
   the women folk in the Wagon train. Personally I think he    hopes the women folk will be "Gratefull".
