Приєднався 19 січ 2013
My name is Clayton Marxer, A.K.A. “The Adventure Cowboy”
I grew up in southwest Montana on a 325,000 acre cattle ranch. I was literally riding horses before I could walk and loved every second of my time out in the mountains. I am an authentic cowboy who can ride colts, rope cattle, pull a breeched calf, build fence, and shovel manure. :-)
My day job is natural resources conservation. When I am not working, I spend much of my time hunting, shooting, fishing, hiking, ranching, and just about anything else I can do outdoors.
I am a huge fan of traditional western firearms and I love to share how they are tied to American history.
I do a little work in the film industry and have performed as an actor, wrangler, and stuntman in a few western film projects and TV shows.
I like to combine today's opportunities for outdoor adventure with our Western heritage.
I'm not an expert. I just share my experiences and observations. I always try to have fun, so come along for the ride.

My Mom Had A VERY Close Call! | Wrong Ammo & Jacket Squib
My mom's revolver malfunctioned during a handgun training class and it could have ended with disastrous consequences! The malfunction was a squib, which means a bullet gets stuck in the barrel, but this squib was different in that the core of the bullet actually shot out of the barrel, but the now-hollow copper bullet jacket remained lodged in the barrel. If the cylinder had not gotten locked up, the next shot would have likely caused the gun to blow up in her face!
Ultimately, we discovered that the cause of the malfunction was due to my mom using the wrong "38" ammo in her 38 Special revolver.

How To Tie A Rope Horse Halter Knot...CORRECTLY
Переглядів 278Рік тому
The vast majority of horse owners use rope halters at least sometimes. Unfortunately, many horse owners were never taught that there is definitely a correct way to tie the rope halter knot and why there is a "correct" way to tie it. In this video, I explain the common variations of the rope halter knot and how tying the knot incorrectly is dangerous. I also clearly demonstrate how to tie the ro...

Part 1 of a family adventure series through Southern Utah. In this video, we travelled down to St. George, Utah to make some quality memories as a family while exploring a landscape that is very different from the one that we live in. At this point, we had been through almost 7 months of cold, snowy winter and we were all getting sick of it. So, we rented a minivan and hit the road for sunny sk...

Like the original Henry rifle mine is made in ‘MERICA by Americans! “Made in America or not at all”, I hope I didn’t offend…
AM I WRONG FOR WONTING ONE IN CAPNBALL
Mine does have a spring ejector
How far away was it? Hard to tell exactly from the video.
45-50 yards
@@TheAdventureCowboy That’s impressive!
I found a great way to thin leather without a sciving knife and it works great. Came to this video to find a way to thin a piece of thick leather but it made some light bulbs go off in my mind and I realized I have a huge tool chest in the basement filled with wood working tools I inherited and I looked for these mini wood planes for specialized wood carving and I thought.. what the hell? I decided to try this and oh my word! They worked like a charm! And I assume a regular size standard hardware store size wood plane while work just as well. I was thinking the entire time that I wished you had used a wood plane because you could have shaved that piece of leather down big time in no time at all!! Try it and you’ll never do this any other way unless you have a fancy machine for thinning leather. It will definitely make all those thick pieces of scrap leather much more usable for small projects.
Nice tip! Thanks
No loading gate is annoying
Agreed
Well... I just bought an 1862 pocket police from Uberti. I have been handloading since the mid 70's mostly cast bullets. One absolute was that you match the size of the bullet to the bore/chamber. Sooo for decades the first thing I do with any revolver is slug the bore in order to size the bullet to the same size or slightly bigger than the bore/chamber. my new 1862 has a bore of .372+ The dia of a .380bullet is .356 38/357 is generally .357 Anyone seeing a problem with the conversion? I also have a 1905 model Colt in 38 long Colt. its bore is about .365 38 spl will chamber but accuracy is just awful. In both cases we are talking a bowling ball bouncing down a hallway. so to get any accuracy out of the gun... and this is speculation on my part since I don't have a conversion to measure... they reduced the size of the bore. One other thing that might make the gun a tad more accurate than you would expect is... Jacketed bullets. Jacketed bullets do not need to completely fill the grooves. The jacket is hard enough that it will 'mostly' grip the rifling enough to work...maybe... and all .380 ammo I am aware of is jacketed. Lastly.... the cowboy or John Wayne load... Colt never NEVER said to load one less than capacity and then hammer down on an empty chamber. Their percussion guns you can lower the hammer between nipples. that was not possible on the 1873 tho because the rims were almost touching when loaded sooooo Colt provided a safety notch Colt was aware that a notch for safety needed to be robust and deep... they were aware that the relatively shallow half cock notch not only broke but only allowed the weakest/thinnest part of the trigger to engage. They solved both with the safety notch. There were of course a lot of conversions so I will not speak to conversions since I know very little about them.
unless your gunsmith is ill informed / we aren’t allowed to obscure Cimarron’s name .
Dear sir, you don't need to do a "Henry Walk or Hop" if you address your Henry, as a right-handed shooter, with the right hand holding the frame at the very front of the frame just before the follower tab comes to rest with the frame. When you do, you have tighter control of the rifle and this provides you with steadier sight picture. The rifle can be shot in either hand. Addressing this rifle in this manner eliminates the hopping motion and prevents the operator from burning or warming their fingers. Watch the "Capandball" UA-cam channel segment 4 to see how this is done. If you have access to the 2023 Single Action Shooting Society Cowboy Chronicle article on the Henry Rifle to learn how to address this rifle properly as it was used in the day. When you do address the Henry rifle as I've described, it makes an already fantastic and fun rifle to shoot even more fun. And it is fast. I can shoot 16, yes, 16 (15 in the magazine and one in the chamber, like during that War) rounds out of my Uberti Henry rifle, chambered in .45 Colt and using a slightly modified .45 S&W Schofield cartridge, and empty those 16 rounds on a fifty-yard target using black powder cartridges in 11-12 seconds, time and time again. Now that's a fun Henry rifle. Contact me for more information if you wish to learn how I do what I've just mentioned. Yes, the Henry is a fast, accurate, and very reliable rifle that is truly fun to shoot. - Cmkh
What ammo did you use for this?
Boring, plain Cowboy load...Hornady, I think.
What little Powder Puff Loads are ya shooting out of that thing?... Haha!....
The only available loads that were out there at the time!
Safety in my opinion is more important,3 clicks are enough. Ruger has a transfer bar
🏆
you may have solved another problem for me...I want to make a "rough out" holster but the leather I want to use is really too smooth. I've been thinking about a way to make it more rough..I'll have to try this. thank you ....
I would encourage you to shoot more with just one hand, there is a book out there called "the pistol shooters treasury" by Gill Hibbard, it is a collection of articles written by the best Bullseye shooters who at the time only used open sights (1940 to the mid 80's) where sight alignment (what you are aiming with, Sharp front sight) is more important than sharply focusing on what you are aiming at. I strongly suggest you the study that book, it also explains the discipline of where keeping sight alignment while squeezing the trigger is all done as one thing smoothly. Peace dude - Dave
300 savage is the best. More Kinetic Energy over distance. Hydrostatic shock is catastrophic at 250 yards! Great Video.
Great review.. I was looking in the Shiloh Sharps.. I can"t wait 24 month.. I'll start with the Cimarron..
3 click models have notorious problems with the firing pin due to it being free floating. I have one of each and luckily no problems with mine. My 3 click is the Uberti bad boy 44 magnum and the 4click is a Pietta 357. The action is excellent on both but the Uberti has the much better trigger
A bit of misinformation, sir. The 30WCF was intorduced in 1895, as you said, but the .30-40 Krag was adopted in 1892 by the US military. It was a smokeless cartridge. Not imediately available to the general public in 1892, but did come along before the 30-30.
Do those muzzle brakes have a crush ring? Mine does not line up horizontally from the factory. Haven't had any time to need with it. Just noticed it was tight all the way through from the break, the nut and to the barrel but the vents are vertical, not horizontal. 7mm Rem Mag
I am not sure, to be honest. Mine is perfect. However, I actually am thinking of removing the brake. It is very effective, but I don’t really need it and would rather not have the exrta noise level. I might consider a can for it.
If you can't have four clicks, you might as well buy a Ruger!
this just makes me feel like crap because i don't know how to throw a rope. i guess i better start practicing! also, lovin' that app!!
Get a rope and start practicing roping a stump or a post. Roping is one of those skills that anyone can learn, but there's no shortcut. You just have to swing, throw, then rebuild your loop and do it again...over and over again. Eventually, you'll get pretty good, and then you change it up by changing position or changing your target. Before you know it, you'll be ready to rope from a horse and that starts a whole new cycle of learning and practice. 🤠
Yo personalmente prefiero el 4 click sin su sistema de seguridad pues me gusta mas ya que practico el tiro deportivo y coleccionismo, aunque los dos son fantásticos, la obra maestra de los armeros William mason y charles brckerhoff richards, saludos desde España 🤠👍
You shoot a chaippa 1874 sharps so would you use these bullets in it ?
great video
Here in the Adirondack Mountains in NY, usually the last 70 degree day is in September, and by mid May we might have a 70 degree day. We didn't get one this year until almost Memorial Day. It was still snowing in April.
Nice video! How's the feeding on that high country?
Like any if the 110s with the deep flutes cut into the bolt, it wasn't as smooth as I was hoping for at first, but after just a couple boxes of ammo through it and some oil, it's pretty nice now.
Can you make an update video on the savage 110 high country
With a Sharps, as long as they are within 782 yards . . . green light.!
AWESOME BUDDY 💥🇬🇧👍🤸
Are you sure you wouldn't like the gong a bit closer. Quite certain.!
Very good review, I just got one and it holds its own against my buddy's shiloh
Awesome!!
Do not like 38-55 T all. IMO it is a reloaders cartridge because of the different bore diameters and OAL in each gun. Factory loads are not very accurate including the Buffalo Bore which is the most accurate factory load
I like the 38-55, but due to similar concerns, I ended up buying a 30-30 version of this rifle.
Great comparison. Thanks.
Dam, deer went straight down. 45 colt is mysterious to me, low velocity but a lot of momentum to push threw. Did the bullet go all the way threw? And still, you can push the velocities like crazy.
It did not go all the way through. Stopped under off-side hide.
That is amazing shooting at 100 yards off hand!!! Good shootin’ Tex !!!!!!! You have better eyes than this old man !!!!
Im curious if these require cowboy loads or if they are just fine with factory 45 colt and 38 Special?
Everything I use is factory off-the-shelf. No +P though!
Does cimmeron use real color case haedening or is it a chemical induced finish ?
Other than specialty shops, I think all large-volume manufacturers haved moved to chemical case coloring. I can't speak for all Cimarron models, but I do know some of their models for sure use the chemical process, or rather, the manufacturers do.
@@TheAdventureCowboy thanks
Thanks for sharing. Glad it wasn't worse.
Very easily could have been. She was pulling the trigger for the next shot, but luckily the cylinder was jammed. Thanks for watching!
wow that's wild, i've had a hollow base wadcutter have skirt seperation which left a partial bore obstruction in my wheelgun but fortunately those are extremely low pressure loads with dead soft lead in a stout .357 magnum gun so it wasn't anything more dramatic than a total loss of accuracy due to extreme leading but i got it all out with a lewis lead remover and a squib rod (the latter of which left me with a ring of lead not unlike the chunk of jacket you showed) but it very well could have gone kaboom if i was shooting it in one of the rare .38 special autoloaders (S&W m52)
Wow! You're mom is a lucky lady. Glad it worked out okay.
.38 Super runs a slightly smaller bullet diameter as well, at .356 instead of .357. Not enough to fail. The case diameter is .006 larger than .38 Special which may or may not chamber in a .38 Special depending on the manufacturer's chamber tolerance. 36,500 PSI is a lot higher than 17,500 PSI, but if the revolver is +p rated, I'm sure proof loads were beyond the limit of what 38 Super runs, hence, the gun didn't break, but certainly not a safe thing to do.
Wow ! Never heard of this kind of squib... Glad to hear she's OK.. hopefully she can push through any sour aftertaste... Thanks for sharing n' God bless you and yours
At first she didn't really understand how bad it almost was. She knows now that she could have lost her hands or even her life if that cylinder hadn't been jammed and she had fired the next shot. She is resilient though and now understands how to prevent a future accident like this. She actually asked me ro make this video for other folks out there who are not real familiar with handguns and might easily make the same mistake she did.
Crazy, never seen that.
Yikes
Close call, bud...real close.
Glad your mom's alright and glad to see a video from you!
Glad your mom is ok. Hearing that story is scary, I've had a few Whoops with a couple different weapons in my years but nothing as scary as what that sounded like
If that cylinder hadn't gotten jammed by the squib too, she'd have fired that next shot, and this could have been a very different video. Thanks for watching.
@@TheAdventureCowboy the one time your HAPPY about a jammed weapon
Excellent video mate 👍👍👍
hey can i ask you a favor will you turn a sxs shotgun into a single barrel blunderbuss like in octopussy and a two different eye colored person into a cyclops like from xmen that way he will aim at the target?
Awesome waste of my time.
I guess at least it was awesome. Years ago, when I made this video, the trend was to release a teaser video and that's all this video is. The full review video was uploaded soon after.
