"Hi. I'm Bob Wolf for Expert Village and I'm here in St. George, Utah. Of course in cowboy action shooting we need something to carry our guns around in. So we all kind of buy or build our own gun carts to our own specifications to our own whims. This is a typical gun cart, mine is a little bit non-typical, but this is what we carry our guns and our ammo in. Of course when we are going up to shoot, we need to have a place for our ammo, so we count all of our ammo, we take our guns and we go to the loading table. I'll get the guns I'm going to use and then we're off to the loading table. Now the Single Action Shooting Society is our parent organization, they have set down a bunch of safety rules for us and this is probably the safest shooting sport that I know of. All guns are carried open and empty, okay that includes my pistols that I have here, they're empty, my shotguns empty and we carry them to the loading table. Alright, we never go shoot until we go to the loading table, we load. We are supervised by someone to make sure that we have the right ammo count in our guns. So I'm going to start to load here. I'm going to load my lever action rifle first, it's empty. I'm going to close the lever, drop the hammer and I'm going to load the right number of rounds in. Now this stage happens to be a round count of 10 rifle rounds. That's two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine and ten, my rifle is loaded the safety lever is seated, so I'm putting it over here. The shotgun is in most all cases is always open and empty. So I'm just putting that over here."
