Just a quick note to let everyone know we are taking orders and action work for 1866/1873 and Marlins. Turn around time is running about four weeks. Seems like I may have caused some confusion when we stop taking orders for a 30 day period in December to get caught up.
Thank you for your business,
Long Hunter

Howdy,
Just to let everyone know, we are reorganizing our business and will probably start taking rifle work again the first of the year. The problem has been we have more work than there are hours in the day. Brad and I have been averaging 60 hour weeks for months and we both need a break. I dearly miss being able to go shoot some cowboy matches. To help solve the problem, we hired a new man and with a little time, he’ll be able to lessen this work load. It will take a couple of years to have him fully up to speed but he’ll be able to help us with the time consuming small things right away. This should give us some relief immediately.
My wife Gail is going to retire from teaching this year and will take over the bookwork. This alone will free up several hours a day of my time.
I apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused any of our loyal customers.
We appreciate your business!!
Thank you for the support and understanding.

HARTLEY, TEXAS – Long Hunter Shooting Supply is pleased to announce the introduction of the USFA Rodeo® and USFA Rodeo® II with low profile hammers. The lower contoured hammer makes is easier to reach for the one handed shooter and provides quicker shot to shot strings for the two handed shooter. With the hammer at rest, the sights are still in full view unlike the old style hammer where the sights are hidden. This means you never have to lose the sight picture again after the shot.
The USFA Rodeo® and USFA Rodeo® II with a low profile hammer will be sold exclusively through Long Hunter Shooting Supply. These models also come with the standard Premium Action Job included in the price. The “From Box to Holster” features are:
- Rear sights are widened from .108 inch to .140 inch
- Forcing cone is cut to 11 degrees
- A crisp, no creep trigger pull
- Factory flat “hand” spring is replaced. The frame is drilled and a Ruger style coil spring is installed for reliability.
- Factory main spring is replaced with a Lee’s Gunslinger flat spring for a smooth, reliable cocking motion while maintaining a quick hammer drop
- Factory flat “trigger/bolt” spring is replaced with a wire spring for added strength.
- Hammer is relieved .007″ on each side to eliminate drag marks. The hammer can be machine jeweled or plain polished per customer request.

One of the most important tools a shooter needs to improve their skills is a timer. We’ve had many calls over the years asking about what timer we use. I have personally used the Pact timer for 10 years. With the large screen and ease of use, it’s very user friendly.
Another important tool for any [...]

I’ve been a bow hunter since 1972. This is the Texas state archery non-typical mule deer I took in 2007. It net scored 222 6/8’s Pope and Young. An outdoor writer told me it was the second highest scoring mule deer ever taken in Texas by any weapon. All of our deer in this part [...]
