Conchos

A concho is a bit of metal or leather that was used (and still is) to embellish a piece of working gear, to give it flair or add strength.  We find conchos used historically on saddles and bags.  But, these days they are almost purely embellishment.

As such, the shooters (especially the young shooters) in Cowboy Fast Draw like to have conchos on their leather.  Especially if those conchos were earned at a match.  To that end, I had some conchos made up for Louisiana State.  I'll give them to the Youth and to selected folks who might want to commemorate the match.  They have a screw back and should be easy to attach to a belt.

They came in today.

I think that they came out pretty nice, and they look a lot better than my photography skills.
