Cajon Cowboy Monthly—July 2009
Don’t Forget Legends Shoot-Sept 24th
We all are
saddened at
the
recent
loss of Old
Scout SASS
323
and
Cajon Cowboys 4. As
some of you
know,
Old
Scout is one
of the cofounders of Cajon Cowboys.
His initial contributions were invaluable
in the start up. He will be missed by all
who knew him. We’re certain that he
has a lot of gunsmithing work to do
cause lots of his old buddies are on that
Posse in The Sky.
Red Haymaker has taken over
the new shooters clinic that is held
every 2nd Saturday—Not So Dead Eye
Maverick will be teaching the ladies.
We are mighty proud to have instructors of their caliber teaching the new
folks. For sure they will go away
chucked full of useful info about Cowboy Shooting.
A reminder, it has always been
our policy that if you come out on a
Friday morning and help set the steel
for the next days match that you shoot
that match for free. So if you’re hanging around the barn on a Friday and
want to get out for a few hours, come
on out. The boys (and Girls) get there
around 9AM.
Several notes about the range,
Only shooters who are shooting the
match may wear guns and live ammo.
At our shoots. Don’t forget that the Lil’
Buckaroos shooting class runs the second Saturday of each month under the
most capable and patient John Crazy.
The kids classes are open to children and
grandchildren of club members. No guns
or ammo are required, the club furnishes
them, only requirement is that the kids be
age 6 or above.
We’ve had some inquiries about
the format for Legends of The West this
year. For those of you who attended last
years shoot, it will be run in the same
fashion. In other words there is a speed
pistol, rifle and shotgun event integrated
into the event. This year we are adding a
Top Gun stage for overall Man and
Woman plus a team shoot where your
posse is the team. After the shoot we will
be having a Pot Luck Lunch. The club is
furnishing the “liquid refreshments” as
well as a steak for all. You may come
out to the Gem Ranch on Friday if you
are camping and stay the night. Friday
night Bojack will be calling Cowboy
Bingo as in other years.
You may stay over on Saturday
night as well and enjoy the fellowship of
other folks. Camping at the Range is
dry. Where else can you get an 8 stage
match and a steak dinner for $25.00 so
come on out. Remember the first 100
shooters are automatically entered into a
drawing for a home defense shotgun.
Luke Warmwater tells me that
the Bass Pro Shop in Rancho Cucamonga adjacent to the freeway has now
opened an indoor shooting range, cost is
$7.00 per hour. Lead ammo only and the
cal. Are 38 thru 45 pistols only. Might
be a place to keep in mind if you need to
check out some ammo during the week.
See you at Legends,
Bojack

Memoriam
Old Scout
Old Scout & Joy Belle
Joe Bowman dies at
84; sharpshooter was
known as 'Master of
Triggernometry'
Joe Bowman could blast an aspirin to powder at 30 paces and split a playing card
edgewise at 20. He trained his shooting
eye by picking flies off garbage cans with a
BB gun from the back porch of his house.
Bowman shared his marksmanship skills with
Hollywood stars and law enforcement officers.
He was also a gifted magician and trick roper,
performing at rodeos and gun shows. He was a
regular fixture every year at EOT.
Joe Bowman, a nationally known Texas sharpshooter who could blast an aspirin to powder at
30 paces and split a playing card edgewise at
20, has died. He was 84.
He had been in Albuquerque, where he had
staged fast-draw and sharpshooting exhibitions
for the Single Action Society's annual End of
Trail. He probably had attended most all
EOT’s. He was driving back to his home in
Houston when he stopped for the night in the
small West Texas town of Junction. He had a
heart attack and died June 29.
Everyone that attended EOT in Norco and
Founders Ranch knew him. His keen wit, gun
handling and rope and card tricks kept us entertained for many hours. We will sorely miss
this great man. He was a friend to all of us that
knew him. We stayed up many a nite while JOE
entertained us. Bowman, who called himself the
Straight Shooter and the Master of Triggernometry,
performed at gun shows, rodeos and conventions
across the country. He taught gun handling to
Robert Duvall ("Lonesome Dove"), James Arness
("Gunsmoke") and Jock Mahoney ("Yancy Derringer"), among many other Hollywood stars.
In addition, he taught FBI agents and police officers the finer points of handling a gun, including
what he called "instinct shooting" -- relying on the
eye and aligning the body correctly rather than taking the extra few seconds to aim down the gun
sight. Always movie-cowboy resplendent in a tengallon hat, embroidered shirt and western-style
pants stuffed into ornate, hand-sewn boots -- attire
he made himself -- Bowman performed thousands
of shows, including performances for King Hussein
of Jordan and Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands.
Bowman also created portraits by shooting holes in
thin sheets of metal. These creations sold at auction for a good buck many a year.
I've seen fast, I've seen faster, I've seen fastest, and
then I've seen Joe Bowman," said actor James
Drury, who starred in the television series "The
Virginian" and got to know Bowman in Hollywood
in the 1970s. "He was incredible."

Drury described how the sharpshooter could fire
three shots at 30 paces through the middle of a 50cent piece in a fraction of a second. "It was all in such
a blur you couldn't even catch it on film," he said in
an interview. He performed this stunt many times at
EOT.
Joseph Lee Bowman was born April 12, 1925, in
Johnson City, Tenn., where he started shooting at age
6, and spent many of his formative years in Asheville, N.C., and Houston. He and his older brother
Mark loved westerns, and with their cap guns and
cowboy boots the youngsters became Johnny Mack
Brown, Gene Autry, Roy Rogers and the other cowboy idols they watched in gape-mouthed wonder during Saturday-morning matinees at the local theater.
He never forgot that experience. "So much of what I
do is for the adults, reminding them of their childhood," he told the Houston Chronicle in 1992. "What
I remember is the morality of the westerns and of the
cowboys. That's all what westerns were: morality
plays, where there was good and evil."
He honed his shooting eye by sitting on the back
porch of his house and picking flies off garbage cans
with a BB gun. During World War II, he served in
the Army with a communications squadron in France
and was injured when a land mine exploded while he
was stringing wire. He received a Silver Star, three
Bronze stars and a Purple Heart for his service.
After the war, he attended the University of Houston
for two years but decided he would rather be a denizen of the Old West. He opened the Bowman and
DeGeorge Boot Shop in Houston, and his skill with
finely detailed boots, belts, saddles and fast-draw holsters attracted clients including Roy Rogers.
Bowman sold the boot shop in the early '60s and became a salesman for a drafting supply company. In
his spare time, he performed at conventions and the
Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. The hobby
soon became a way of life, and the Straight Shooter
began touring the country as a one-man shooting exhibition. He also became a gifted magician and trick
roper and frequently spoke to youth groups about gun
safety. We’ll miss you good friend.

Household Tips
Deodorize your car: Of course, you can
buy a disposable air fresheners that hang
from your car’s rear-view mirror. But why
bother, when you can make a permanent
version for next to nothing? Just punch or
drill a dozen or so holes in the lid of a
throat-lozenger tin or plastic soap container
(the kind meant for traveling). Tuck a small
bar of sweet smelling soap into the box, and
slide it under the front seat of your car.
Your vehicle will smell clean and fresh and
in a pinch, you can pull out the soap and use
it to wash your hands!
Fog proof your car’s windows: There’s
nothing more annoying or more dangerous
than driving without crystal clear vision. So
if fog is a fact of life where you live, don’t
take chances. Rib a bar of soap over your
auto’s glass, and polish it with a clean, soft
cloth. Note: This trick works just as well
on diving masks and ski goggles—just be
sure to rub the soap only on the outside of
the lens.
Remove light scratches from auto glass:
Even the best kept cars pick up minor
scrapes on their windows and mirrors every
now and then. When that happens to the
vehicle in your life, reach for a tube of
mildly abrasive toothpaste (not the gel kind).
Squeeze a little of it into a soft, cotton flannel cloth, and rub the scratches very lightly
until they’re gone. (Of course, this trick
works just as well on mirrors, windows, tabletops, or any other glass surface, indoors
or out.)
Treat Minor burn: A tube of toothpaste
belongs in every garage, workshop, and garden shed. How come? Because it’s perfect
for soothing your skin when you accidentally touch a hot car engine or power tool.

Attention—Notice
A while back, J.D. Walker, up in
Oregon, sold a .22 Cal Ruger with
a .22 mag cylinder to someone. He
told the cowboy he would go home
and look for the box and send it to
him. BUT, he can’t remember his
name. Anyway, he found the box
and if that cowboy will give him a
call he will send the box.
