Goodday, ladies and gents!
Greetings from across the Atlantic!
A short introduction of myself: I'm a recreationalshooter in the Netherlands, Europe and a Coltfan. My favourite weapons are a 6" Diamondback in .22 LR and a 6" Python. I also have a Colt Ace which is more for the heck of it.
So, I'm a happy camper, just shooting away at my gunclub here in the Netherlands.
Now through a Dutch internetforum I got wind of a totally new -for me- form of shooting. So last weekend I dressed myself up and went to a meeting of the Dutch Western Shooters Association, here in the Netherlands.
And to make a long story short: I'm afraid I got the Bug. The atmosfere was more then extremely pleasant and relaxed. Food, drink, shooters from all around that favor the Western way of life!
Now it wasn't just targetshooting like in this picture, but also something that was referred to as quick draw.
(sorry for the outrageous picture quality, that's the best you get from a cellphone camera)
Now I have a couple of questions and I am hoping that someone can help out.
To start with shooting quickdraw one needs a revolver and a holster. Of course one can spit into the general direction of those balloons, but you may start wondering what one has had for lunch if you pop one.
I would favor a centerfire revolver that can handle both nitro and blackpowder. But as I am a complete novice to this sport I'm open for all suggestions.
So give me some advice please!
