December side match With the weather cooling down, and getting us thinking about Christmas, the side matches will begin again.

4 there are no errors creeping into your order, is to go to their store, and see Steve Gallimore. He can be sure your order is accurate and can take care of any problems if the badge maker makes a mistake. Price is $60.00 or so depending on the center badge seal you select. December side match With the weather cooling down, and getting us thinking about Christmas, the side matches will begin again. For December Navajo Kid and High Card will be running a Wild Bunch Side Match, but instead of using the.45 ACP M1911 and the appropriate caliber center fire rifle, we will be using a CAS legal.22 rifle and a.22 version of the M1911. The M1911 can be one of the.22 versions or a.22 converson of the full size M1911 and you will need 3 magazines. For the shotgun you will need the classic Winchester M97 or replica thereof. Pistols and rifles will be available if you need to borrow one or both. If you are borrowing a pistol and bring your own ammo, bring the high velocity ammo, not the target or low velocity ammo, as the.22 pistols function better with the high velocity ammo. September/october cowboy James Stewart was our cowboy for the month of September/October. The movie Winchester 73 was made in 1950 by Universal-International. The same year James Stewart wanted to do the movie Harvey, also, at Universal-International. The studio refused to pay him his standard fee of $200, per film. However, the studio head told him he could do both films for a percentage of the profits. His agent got him a contract for 50% of the profits. For the movie Winchester 73 James Stewart earned near $600, Rooster Cogburn correctly identified James Stewart as a September/October Cowboy. As for the number of people who handled the rifle from the time Lynn McAdam first received it the count is 10, and Rooster Cogburn got it right.
