Over the past 30 years, he has won State, US Nationals, Canadian and World Championships in Fast Draw. Using this experience, he created a holster company that was based primarily on speed and accuracy, but also with a touch of elegance added to the designs. When Cowboy Fast Draw became a new sport in the shooting world, it caught Bob’s interest big time. Bob and wife, Sherrie, were so excited about shooting in this new medium, they became LIFE members of the CFDA (Bob is No. 10 and Sherrie is No. 11). Being a holster maker, and working with CFDA in order to comply with the rules, Bob created some cutting edge holsters, reminiscent of the past but allowing the gun to come out faster than anything a shooter might have used in the past. Bob and Sherrie hope you like the holsters presented here and invite you to join them shooting in this fast growing “fun” sport The CFD5 is a vertical holster system that allows the shooter to get into a slightly crouched position. With a built-in twist in the shank, the holster can be worn in a forward position. When the light comes on, the shooter can lift the upper body, straighten the legs, and draw the gun. This is called leverage, allowing the gun to clear the holster without even drawing it, focusing the shooter’s concentration on leveling the gun to target. The more snap in body movement, the faster the gun is going to clear the leather. The CFD5 is non-col- CFD5 REF1 lapsing and allows the cylinder to turn in the holster. The CFD5 comes with our CFDA approved “SAFELEG”. $289.95 Rough Out CFD9 REF1 $339.95 also available in smooth finish $289.95 This holster was designed to look similar to the holster used by Clint Eastwood in his famous Spaghetti Westerns. The difference here is, this one is dedicated to Cowboy Fast Draw and is hard molded so the cylinder will turn in the holster with no restriction. The CFD9 comes with our CFDA approved “SAFELEG”. CFD3 REF1 $289.95 For those who do not wish to, or lack the ability to snap the body, we have designed the CFD3 so the shooter does not have to break the wrist back to grab the gun. The holster meets all CFDA requirements and, simply said, is a cut above the normal. Like the CFD5, the shank has a built-in twist, allowing the holster to be worn in a forward position, aligning the gun on target. When the gun is drawn, the shooter is not reaching back to bring the gun forward.

  • Annie Oakley Topic Guide for Chronicling America (
    Annie Oakley Topic Guide for Chronicling America (http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov) Introduction Annie Oakley (1860-1926) was an American sharpshooter and exhibition shooter born in Darke County, Ohio, as Phoebe Ann Mosey. When she was five, her father died, and Annie learned to trap, shoot and hunt by age eight to help support her family. In 1875 (though some sources say it was in 1881), Annie met her future husband, Frank E. Butler, at the Baughman & Butler shooting act in Cincinnati, while beating him in a shooting contest. They were married a year later, and in 1885, they joined Buffalo Bill’s Wild West where she was given the nickname “Little Sure Shot.” Considered America’s first female star, Oakley traveled all over the United States and Europe showing off her skills. Oakley set shooting records into her sixties, and also did philanthropic work for women’s rights and other causes. In 1925, she died in Greenville, Ohio. Important Dates . August 13, 1860: Annie Oakley is born Phoebe Ann Mosey in Darke County, Ohio. November 1875: Oakley defeats Frank E. Butler in a shooting contest.

  • 2015 23Rd Annual Poets House Showcase Exhibition Catalog
    2015 23rd Annual Poets House Showcase Exhibition Catalog |Poets House|10 River Terrace|New York, NY 10282|poetshouse.org| 5 The 2015 Poets House Showcase is made possible through the generosity of the hundreds of publishers and authors who have graciously donated their works. We are deeply grateful to Deborah Saltonstall Pease (1943 – 2014) for her foundational support. Many thanks are also due to the National Endowment for the Arts, the New York State Council on the Arts, the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs, the Leon Levy Foundation, and the many members of Poets House for their support of this project. 6 I believe that poetry is an action in which there enter as equal partners solitude and solidarity, emotion and action, the nearness to oneself, the nearness to mankind and to the secret manifestations of nature. – Pablo Neruda Towards the Splendid City Nobel Lecture, 1971 WELCOME to the 2015 Poets House Showcase! Each summer at Poets House, we celebrate all of the poetry published in the previous year in an all-inclusive exhibition and festival of readings from new work. In this year’s Showcase, we are very proud to present over 3,000 poetry books, chapbooks, broadsides, artist’s books, and multimedia projects, which represent the work of over 700 publishers, from commercial publishers to micropresses, both domestic and foreign. For twenty-three years, the annual Showcase has provided foundational support for our 60,000-volume library by helping us keep our collection current and relevant. With each Showcase, Poets House—one of the most extensive poetry collections in the nation—continues to build this comprehensive poetry record of our time.

  • Women's History Is Everywhere: 10 Ideas for Celebrating in Communities
    Women’s History is Everywhere: 10 Ideas for Celebrating In Communities A How-To Community Handbook Prepared by The President’s Commission on the Celebration of Women in American History “Just think of the ideas, the inventions, the social movements that have so dramatically altered our society. Now, many of those movements and ideas we can trace to our own founding, our founding documents: the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. And we can then follow those ideas as they move toward Seneca Falls, where 150 years ago, women struggled to articulate what their rights should be. From women’s struggle to gain the right to vote to gaining the access that we needed in the halls of academia, to pursuing the jobs and business opportunities we were qualified for, to competing on the field of sports, we have seen many breathtaking changes. Whether we know the names of the women who have done these acts because they stand in history, or we see them in the television or the newspaper coverage, we know that for everyone whose name we know there are countless women who are engaged every day in the ordinary, but remarkable, acts of citizenship.” —- Hillary Rodham Clinton, March 15, 1999 Women’s History is Everywhere: 10 Ideas for Celebrating In Communities A How-To Community Handbook prepared by the President’s Commission on the Celebration of Women in American History Commission Co-Chairs: Ann Lewis and Beth Newburger Commission Members: Dr. Johnnetta B.
