3 Prairie Dawg's Old West Chronicles A Compendium of Useful Information Cowboy/Cowgirl Wild Rags What they are, Why they're worn, & How to tie a Buckaroo Knot 3 P a g e

! Wild rags have gone from neckwear to headwear to belts and pony tail holders in just a matter of a few short fashion seasons!

4 History of the Wild Rag A "wild rag is a cowboy scarf worn around the neck. They are worn by both cowboys and cowgirls, for both work and for play. But fast forward to today s times and you won t just see a cowboy wearing one!! Wild rags have gone from neckwear to headwear to belts and pony tail holders in just a matter of a few short fashion seasons! 4 P a g e The Very first Cowboy wild rags were worn for warmth in cold temperatures, and for protection from sun, wind, and dirt anytime. In many regions, wild rags are a standard part of cowboy dress, whether it be for work or social occasions. Wild rags come in a wide variety of colors, sizes, and fabrics, with silk being the most popular fabric choice. Wild Rags date back as far as the mid 1800 s. Cowboys were known to use old flour sacks cut into squares, when fabric like cotton was either too expensive, or hard to come by while living on the range. Some of the many uses for a wild rag include: Protection from the elements A potholder by the campfire Strain drinking water Temporary saddle rigging or a rope Arm sling, tourniquet or bandage (for man or beast) Flagging a race Nose blower Draping over the eyes of a spooked or ornery horse Keep in mind that a knot in a wild rag can hold tight when accidentally caught on something, making it potentially dangerous. That's why some working cowboys and cowgirls only use a scarf slide when they're working, but when they go to town they might use a slide or a knot.

Sets in a variety of colors for $25. I got mine in Burgundy.

5 Speaking of Wild Rags -- Bubba's Up Range Exchange is currently carrying 35" x 35" Cotton Wild Rag/Sleeve Garter Sets in a variety of colors for $25. I got mine in Burgundy. What color is your set going to be?? How to tie a Buckaroo Knot 5 P a g e

10 News & Notes Six Stages We shoot six stages at Tusco. A few people have told us that they drive a good distance to shoot at Tusco and would like to shoot as much as possible. Obviously we only have room for five shooting bays. So what we do is shoot the first stage you start on twice. Consider it a warm up stage. Only five stages will be scored. You can take your best time on your first stage. If you don t want to shoot it twice you do not have to. This would provide more shooting for our shooters. New SASS Magazine With the new release of the SASS Quarterly Cowboy Chronicle, I once again would like to start collecting any unwanted issues of the magazine. We will use these for our promotional events, like our Tusco Long Riders Day at Kames Sports. Please either black out or cut off your name and address or I will do it before they are passed out.
