A note to "Bad Guys". 

For most of you, we are counting on you for your own costume, horse, western tack, guns and "blank" ammo, etc., (everything that makes you a "cowboy"). 
In fact, you are a "down on your luck" cowboy, so no "new" hats, no straw hats, no "blue" jeans, lot's of sweat stains, threadbare clothes, etc.  The more worn out your costume, probably the better, but bring extra stuff so that we can have costume choices on site. 

 

If you can, don't shave a few days before the shoot.  If you can, don't get a haircut before the shoot.

 

Please do not bring any ammo except "blank" ammo to the location. 
We are reimbursing you for ammo used at the rate of 40 cents each, so please shoot sparingly. 
Our safety officer for the shoot is Neil Deterding.  He is in charge of checking all guns, and "when" you have a loaded gun, and "when" you don't.

 

Please also do us the favor of bringing extra costuming, hats, guns, holsters, etc. that might be borrowed by other cowboys.

 

Thanks for being a "bad man", 
Randy Manning
