The Straight Shooter
The Straight Shooter
Joe Bowman, "The Straight Shooter" Houston, Texas. Joe was a exhibition/ fast draw shooter. Taught many celebrities to shoot. Shown here are a pair of modified Single Sixes in .38 Special caliber which Joe engraved himself & a pair of engraved & modified Blackhawks. Ruger gave Bowman a pair of Factory engraved Vaqueros in 1984.

That man could really shoot !! Remember him entertaining us at an awards banquet ...think it was in Houston. Threee shots with a single action Ruger sounded like one boom.

Re: The Straight Shooter
That's interesting, I didn't realize that he did any engraving, talk about a talented man.

JAYDAWG you took the words right out of my mouth about the side burns and fancy ride! Don sure does come up with some great things on here. I don't even know what I would offer for such a fine outfit. Whole lotta marbles for sure and then some other desirable goodies such as a case of Moon Pies and a pair of Brogan shoes.... I might even offer a leisure suit for the aspiring country gentleman
Some people sit on $.05 of knowledge like it is the treasure of Egypt. I will teach anyone $.10 worth just to prove a point...
