I actually suggested something like this several months ago centered around a reenactment of the competions held by the Texas Rangers in 1847 and 1848 between the Walker Colt and 1841 Mississippi rifle, but other events could be included. I can't find the thread now for some reason. The general consensus was that it could be held down here at a range in the Texas hill country near Fredricksburg, nearby the famous Battle of Walkers Creek and Jack Hay's reported stand against the Comanche atop Enchanted Rock with his single shot rifle and his two Patersons. The ladies could hit the shopping spots downtown while the fellers could have fun during the day. Later the fellers and their ladies might enjoy sttending the Luchenbach Dance Hall Saturday night. Perhaps we could even get some sponsorship from Pietta, Uberti, Texas Jacks/Cimmaron, etc. It would be best done in the early spring or late fall when the temperature is more comfortable.
We could have a tented vendors area, etc.
If we put the word out, there MIGHT interest from the folks in the Colt Forum percussion revolver forum, the 1858 forum, as well as the many Southwestern-based CAS folks, to get the attendance numbers up. What think yee?
