What You’ll Read

Our posts cover a mix of topics that all tie back to frontier fun. Want to know which gun Wyatt Earp carried? Check out the article that breaks down the Colt Single Action Army and the Buntline Special. Curious about how much a cowboy earned on a cattle drive? We have a clear breakdown of historic wages and modern ranch pay.

Why It Matters

Understanding the real stories behind famous guns and cowboy slang helps you appreciate the sport you practice. Knowing that warm beer was a practical solution to lack of refrigeration, for example, adds flavor to the history you hear at range events. And learning the true origins of the “cowboy shot” in movies shows how filmmakers use visual tricks to capture the drama of the frontier.

Each article aims to be short, factual, and easy to read. We avoid fluff and focus on the details you can actually use – whether that’s choosing the right ammo for a competition or spotting authentic Wild West towns to visit. The tone stays casual, so you feel like you’re chatting with a friend who knows a lot about the West.
