Crew
| For your benefit, we offer wranglers, propmaster, costumer, set dressers and armorers who know the period. They can all be costumed at no extra charge and utilized as extras, thus eliminating the need for 10-15 additional and costly extras. |
We work with several stunt coordinators who are budget conscious and can utilize the Buckaroos
to their utmost ability for shootouts, bar room fights, hard riding.

| At our home ranch, we have a 10 building town fully dressed, including a livery stable, blacksmith shop, saddle shop, general store, saloon, cantina, sheriff's office and jail, meat market and gun shop. A frame and wall tents serve as living quarters. It's designed in the early Frontier fashion to provide a change of pace from the larger, more modern Western town sets. |
Within one mile of our town, we have 1700 acres of wilderness land - plains, mountains, trails,
roads, trees, valleys, rivers, mines, buffalo wallows and canyons. All of this is in Agua Dulce
near Vasquez Rocks and within the studio zone.

As Peetzburgh develops, we plan on adding more buildings, i.e., houses, a church, a lake, farmhouse
and barn and a 2 story hotel facade to our existing warehouse building which is 30 x 60. The
nice thing about working at Caravan West is everything is here. Horses, costumes, guns, props
and set dressing.

You can hire background artists (extras) a pig in a poke - or you can populate your set with folks
who know and care about what they're doing - cowboys who can ride, gamblers who can play,
storekeepers who can tend to their business, whores who ply their trade, gunmen who aren't afraid
to pack iron. In other words, your background can be filled with people who wear their own
clothes (a savings in costume rentals), know how to wear them and look like they fit comfortably.
The Buckaroos not only have a desire to be part of the show, but have a passion for recreating
history.
