Just wanted to give everyone a heads up on a new training video we’ll have coming out the week of August 9th. It’s called “One on One with Long Hunter”. It will cover rifle, pistol, shotgun, transitions and the mental aspect of cowboy action shooting. At this point, I’m not sure of the exact length but it will be close to 2 hours long. It will have a menu at the beginning so you’ll be able to pick a segment to watch.

I wanted to produce a video that would cover all aspects of our game from the beginner to advanced shooters and have it in a single package. It’s important for me to give anyone that buys this video a good value. I also spend a little time talking about what a prospective shooter can expect when they show up at their first match and the equipment they need. The cost will be $29.95 and will be available at our website and the SASS Mercantile.

Thank you,
Long Hunter

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.
Long Hunter

hammer-low-profile-whiteHARTLEY, 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.
