Goon, I cannot disagree more. Maybe your business depends in part upon these guys, but my interests in BP revolvers has nothing to do with those folks with their high and mighty attitudes.
I wonder how much you actually looked into CAS.... from your comments.
First, I know of two privately owned gunshops, that were on the brink of closing in the 1990's, and CAS is what saved them.
Second, since your interests are mostly historical, you can thank CAS for repro Schofield revolvers still being on the market, and factory produced cartridges in things like .38-40, .44 Colt, and .38 Short Colt.
I never met anybody with a "high and mighty" attitude when it came just to CAS. I've seen some folks in IPSC, Bullseye, Sporting Clays, skeet, trap, and CAS who were top competitors, and some of them but not all, had some arrogance. OH there is one guy that comes to mind, a lawyer that I knew before he started shooting in CAS, and he had a high and might attitude before CAS, and still does.....,
Cowboy shooting is at "stationary targets"...again not sure you had enough experience to make that claim..., I've seen them use moving steel and flying clays. Heck I've seen where the targets didn't move but the shooter was rocking back and forth.
