Cowboy
Reenactors F.A.Q's
Question: How
can I become a re-enactor? Where can I acquire the right
clothes and rigging?
Answer: To
become the re-enactor that is looked at with high
regards, you need to study history. Find a character
that you want to portray, and then learn to tell that
person's stories. Study the clothing. It's not hard to
find the right clothes, and the cost of the clothing
isn't that bad. The highest expense items will be boots,
and the weapons of your choosing. You can find a
relatively cheap hat, and shape it during a rain storm
to the look you need. All your leather gear can be
purchased, but with some ingenuity, you can make all of
it.
Question: Do I need to carry
liability insurance?
Answer: Yes. One of the organizations that we promote is
AFOWR, American Federation of Old West Re-enactors. Their
web site is
www.afowr.com
. You can become an AFOWR member, and gain the benefits of a
large organization that will help you as an old west
re-enactor. And with mentors like you'll find within AFOWR,
you can hone your skills by learning and listening to those
that have been in your shoes. And AFOWR carries the
necessary liability insurance policy that will cover you.
Question: Can I do this on my
own?
Answer: The old saying is there is
power in numbers. And power comes from learning through
experience. The best place to gain that experience is to
join one of the many re-enactors clubs throughout the
country. There are living history groups, old west
re-enactor groups, gun slingin' groups, and any other type
of group that you can think of. Most of them will be
non-profit organizations, but the donation of your time to
learn and gain the experience you need will be invaluable.
Question: Will I have to
travel when I work for WildWestReenactors.com?
Answer: You can specify in your
listing whether you are available to travel any length
of distance. Every state in the Union will have re-enactor
jobs in the future. That is what WildWerstReenactors.com is
promoting. And we need you to become a member, in your
corner of the country, because there will be work there that
we will need you to do. And of course, if you would like to
travel, specify that in your listing.
