Great match!! Lost count on how many we’ve been to. One of our favorites. Congratulations to all the Ohio state champs!!

Absolutely I know that. My hopes were that they would offer some cowboy calibers also. Hopefully they will in the near future. Been a customer of Taylor’s for many years. I also know that cowboy and historical replica arms shooters have been their main customer base for many years.

Maybe they should just build guns that are already legal for sass instead of trying to make sass change rules to cater to them

One thing I forgot to mention but really appreciate are all the sponsors and vendors that donated to the match and the raffle prizes. Without them many clubs couldn’t afford to put on a match. Our sincere thanks!

Just got the camper unpacked. Great time once again at Spring Roundup. We want to think everyone involved with putting on the match. So many good cowboys and cowgirls working hard, I hate to start mentioning names for fear I might leave someone out. Needless to say, we’ll be back again next year……Doc & Pinky.

I’m in on eatin it

Wife and I have 4 lightning clones. 3 AWA and 1 Pedersoli. All have had Lassiter’s work done to them and they run well. Also I have Roger Rapid’s downloads on assembly and disassembly along with some of his helpful hints on making them run smoother which I could never thank him enough for. The guns were a challenge at first to take apart and maintain, but after running them for a couple years, I don’t give it a second thought anymore.

Funny you should mention the pump shotguns. I’m just the opposite. So use to the stroke of the lightning that I short stroke the 97 and don’t get it closed half the time lol

Funny thing about this topic. If the lightning clones are such bad rifles for sass as most uninformed people think, then why are they so expensive?

Spent many posse with Triple Threat. He could really run a 97. Gonna miss seeing him at Range War. Rest in pease pard.

Great time, great match. Thanks to all. See ya at the regional.

It’s hard to recommend guns and grips and hammers not knowing what size hands you have. So info you receive here may or may not help. I do know a lot of top duelist in the game and most prefer lower hammers or Bisley style grips. Also, are you shooting strong side duelist or double duelist? Best thing I can suggest starting out is to load up some snap caps and dry fire a lot to build up your thumb or thumbs. I think Widder would agree that most top shooters put in a lot of time dry firing when they started out. You’ll probably get to a point your feeling pretty fast at it. Then you add in more live fire to see how recoil affects your speed. Believe me, it will change your speed. It will also tell you what speed you can go and still hit your targets. As far as shooting smaller lighter guns and lesser calibers, there comes a point where things get too light. I played with a set of 32’s for about a year and a half. I could really snatch them out of a holster and dry fire them fast. But, when it came to live fire I found them to be too light for multiple shots on the same target. The timer proved this to me several times over. I even put bisley grips and hammers on them to add a little weight. The recoil on the smaller gun slowed down my splits on multiple shots so I abandoned that idea. Don’t be shy when attending a match to ask other shooters if you can handle their guns and see how they feel to you. Most shooters will oblige you to do that. To be good at anything be committed to put in the practice time. It was never work to me because I enjoyed it so much. One additional thing I will tell you is that if you don’t already own a timer, invest in one. You want one that will allow you to set a delay start time and also a par time. It’s the only real measure you will have to know what works or doesn’t work for you. These suggestions are just a few of the basics. When you master that then you might want ask about the choreography and best way to run a stage. I know from reading some of the posts that TW writes that he really breaks down the movement needed to shoot a stage as I also do.

As Ranger said unless you have very large hands and a good reach with your thumb, lowered hammers will be of benefit.

You may have to invest into the largest iPad you can find!
