Happy New Year!  2009 is in the books and here we are in 2010.  Did you make any cowboy resolutions?  Are you resolved to shoot faster despite a few more misses?  Or, are you going to slow down a hair and see how many clean matches you can get?  Perhaps you plan to shoot at one or two new clubs or attend that much anticipated big match.  My resolutions will be easy to keep - I resolve to make new cowboy/girl friends.  I will enjoy the company of my fellow posse members.  I will put friendship, fun and helping my fellow shooters enjoy the day above all else. 
As a member of El Posse Grande's cowboy committee, I will keep you informed of EPG news by sending out emails and keeping the website updated.  I will ..... ah heck, I'll live by the cowboy code.  There are several cowboy codes out there.  Just do a google search on it - Gene Autry has one.  Hopalong Cassidy has one, as does Roy Rogers, the Lone Ranger and Wild Bill Hickock.  Broken down to their simplest form they all say the same thing as this by John Wayne.

During his long career as a cowboy in movie, John Wayne followed a philosophy about life that is revealed in the the "Code of the Cowboy." These rules were recited by Wayne's son, Patrick Wayne at the "Duke's" funeral in June 1979.

1. A cowboy does not judge color of skin, but by character within.
2. A cowboy always respects a lady and tips his hat to all that pass him by
3. A cowboy stands strong for what the American frontier is all about: Freedom, Truth, Justice and the American way.
4. A cowboy will not be wronged, nor wrongs another. The justice he deems out depends on that.
5. A cowboy is loyal, and hard working and maintains a high ethic.
6. A cowboy loves his country, and will fight for it's principles and sovereignty.
7. A cowboy respects his animals and the earth they roam upon.
8. A cowboy is faithful to what is entrusted to him.
9. A cowboy is bound by duty, honor, and gratitude for what God has given him, which includes his friends and family.
10. A cowboy maintains a hidden code in his heart, for all to see.
