Tales of Rock Ridge Station--a Pictorial

Bette Ridge, daughter of Rock, graces the landscape where ever she goes.

Her escort and daddy’s foreman, Jason McNeil, wonders, like everyone else, if he has a chance.

Bert Jackson’s business did not go as well as he hoped and can’t wait to get back to Train City. While his daughter Jessica is afraid and a little excited that there’s a real live wild Indian in Rock Ridge.

Today is Saturday, a good day for tourists. The Overland from Chicago, when it’s on schedule, comes through on Saturday.

Jake O’Brien heard there was a job in Train city, but can’t find Billy Simpson to buy a ticket.

Billy’s out back getting comfortable. He wouldn’t miss this world. Mrs. Ridge sent the Jones boys in her new buckboard to pick-up the piano she ordered.

Good scene[s] Space mouse. I’m sure the guy kicking back in his chair has a wealth of home-spun advice, too! Thanks for the fun.[:)][:)]

Nice scene. Not only do trains have prototype opperations, but so do the people. That is a nice glimpse into the town’s daily life. I assume that is you standing there with the big iron slung low.

Nope, I wear two pearl handled revolvers.

Two huh. Forward or reverse facing?

Butts to the rear for very pragmatic reasons.

In cowboy action shooting you are using live rounds so it is very important that you don’t cause accidents…uh shoot somebody. So there are rules about sweeping your muzzle in the direction of the audience. If you have butts forward, when you pull your guns, they are pointing to the rear and you are disqualified. In order to avoid this, a person must rotate their body almost to face the rear to pull the gun safely. That increases your score substantially.
