"WtC?" Rifle = 10 + 1 (reload after firing the first 10 rounds) Shooter fires first 10 shots, sets rifle down open & empty; T/O reminds shooter to "LOAD ONE!" With rifle remaining on the table, shooter closes lever, DECOCKS HAMMER, then loads one round into the loading gate; picks up rifle, levers round into chamber & engages last target. DECOCKING PENALTY? or NO CALL? This is a NO CALL: 1) Shooter is NOT "decocking to avoid a penalty..." (see 1st & 3rd SHB references below) 2) Shooter is not decocking on an unfired round (rifle is empty) 3) Shooter is under the observation of the T/O 4) Shooter closed lever and decocked hammer the same method as when loading at the loading table. (force of habit to avoid the SDQ for coming to the line with the hammer cocked) - No firearm may be de-cocked on the firing line to avoid a penalty if cocked at the wrong time, position or location once a round has gone downrange.  SHB p.14   - De-cocking a revolver, rifle, or hammered shotgun without positive direction to do so from the CRO/TO. SHB p.22 "Stage DQs" Decocking to avoid a penalty if cocked at the wrong time, position or location SHB p.41 "Pocket RO Card" Related question re revolver (full 5-round reload) Colt-style revolver/loads on half-cock: Shooter clears empties from first revolver, loads 5 rounds, spins cylinder (checking for high primers) indexes to see empty chamber from the side; brings hammer to full-cock & lowers on empty chamber; recocks hammer to begin firing. Same conditions as for the rifle apply...also a NO CALL.

Anyone seen Woody, my dog? My kids have been pining away since he left. He’s just not cut out for this weather. Poor boy’ll be froze board stiff if we don’t find him...

Dogs can be worth their weight in gold. Cats can be weighed...what they're worth is up for debate. Makes you think of this: Makes you think of this:

My jake-brake was a savior coming down the cabbage patch on I-84 in Oregon!

Just knot right!

Wooden that have hurt? Imis

But he no longer has his BARK!!!

The Cat's Diary, Day 983 of My Captivity My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength. The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape. In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet. Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates my capabilities. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a “good little hunter” I am. There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of “allergies.” I must learn what this means, and how to use it to my advantage. Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow, but at the top of the stairs. I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches. The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released, and seems to be more than willing to return. He is obviously a moron. The bird must be an informant. I observe him communicate with the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. My captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe. For now…

Did the instructions say you could not take 2? The implied intent of the cutter is obviously 1 piece per cowboy. (Like how I argued that both ways?) If there is ice cream involved, I want to be in line before Widder. He assumes ALL of the ice cream is his since its only in one container.

So the issue here is the Fed's still see marijuana as an illegal controlled substance. Making it illegal to consume and thus no guns on "their" form. While legal in some states the issue is handling/shooting a firearm while impaired. But hey its OK to drink 12 beers and 5 shots of Fireball and then shoot. No questions abut whether you drink alcohol on the form. Of course in my case I always answer no to any history of mental illness!!!!!! Although I do have an Uncle that does Yoga! Ike

I'm so glad you didn't say triple tap plus one. That'll be forever known as the great quad tap debacle of '18.

I was at a gun store in Oregon and a buyer asked the seller what he should put on his 4473 regarding marijuana usage. The clerk asked if he had a medical marijuana card and the guy said "I don't need one. It's legal now" the owner of the store over hearing this came over and said "Regardless of whether or not you have a medical marijuana card your paperwork won't go through if you check the box that says that you use marijuana. FICS will flag it." The guy then said "Okay, fine. I will mark "no". The owner of the store, to his credit said "When you go to buy your guns at another store you might be wise to not mention marijuana." The goofball said "I am not planning to go to another store." The owner smiled and said "Well, you aren't buying any guns here so you'll have to go elsewhere. You shouldn't have told us that you used marijuana. You have yourself a good day." Me and that store owner had a major falling out over another issue but I have to give him credit for his ethics on this matter.

they didn't think this through--could have gotten much closer if they went at night

SPRAY ALERT BEING ISSUED requested by OLG

Save it for a gun buy-back program.

Looks like DOGWOOD

Musta been movin pretty fast when he hit it.

Just thinking..... The Value of a Dog (its worth or worthlessness) is independent of anything else surrounding the situation. The value of a cat is often determined by how many rats are around. ..........Widder

Ah, that age old question. No, not that one! This one: I'm actually a thigh guy myself. It's got the best of both worlds.

Germans Discover Military Jeep Hoods Used to Repair a Ceiling after World War II Speaking with the people who were tearing down the stable-turned-garage, Greve learned that the family has had the place for many years, and that the man who repaired the home in 1946 or 1947 had used junkyard parts to rebuild the ceiling after damage sustained in the war. This, Greve told me, was standard practice in post-war Germany—reusing as many available materials as possible, as cheaply as possible. “Alle Häuser in diesem Gebiet sind durch das Bambardement zerstört geworden,” he told me in German. Meaning, roughly, that pretty much all the homes near this particular building were blown up during the war. Just look at this video clip to see the state of Bonn in 1945—it’s rough. Greve pointed out the yellow paint on some of the hoods as reason to believe that these Jeeps may have been involved in the battle of Normandy. The special dye, brushed between the points of the invasion star on the hood, is called “M5 Liquid Vesicant Detection Paint,” and its job—as I described in my article a few months back—was to change colors upon detecting dangerous chemical agents. The U.S. army was worried that Germany might use chemical weapons on the battlefield, considering Germany did so during World War I. So, in 1943, the European Theater of Operations standardized vesicant paint, as shown in this “restricted” document found in the National Archives:

Feed, love and care for a dog, and it will think you are a god. Feed, love and care for a cat, and it will think it is a god.

This vertical rack pictured here is one of the best I have used. We use it at Tusco and was designed and built by Moosetracks

Probly on account of the new guy here, me, and my Super-Power... Apparently, I have the ability to slow down or crash any computer device, either in front of me, over the telephone or even at a great distance. Now, If only I could find a way to harness this power for the forces of good. Sloe Moe

Hey, Pat Riot...

We've been blessed with incredible weather here in Phoenix this year as preparations for Winter Range progress. That's especially good as most of what we've done so far is painting. Here's some existing stage fronts getting some new paint. The pink and white circus theme is for the Registration Booth inside the main tent. The orange is the Sheriff's office and jail front. This is Turquoise Bill. Yes, the same Turquoise Bill that still needs your help with the Wednesday Side Matches. He and Bulldog James are working on a front for the new Main Tent look. Junior Bravo and Deacon Sackett working on another part of the new Main Tent front. Junior Bravo and Lt. Col. Scratch with the partially finished front. Does Junior Bravo resemble Santa Claus? The kids at Phoenix Children's Hospital would know. Shhhhhh...... And finally, JB, Scratch, and Lucky Shot LeeRay with another partially finished front. If this looks like fun, it's because it is. Nobody told these guys to smile, they are actually enjoying themselves. Come on out and join us, the next party is scheduled for January 5th 2019.

Mine went in the mail this morning. Really looking forward to it. First time attending... Have heard lots of good things.

Not news for those selling firearms. Federal government has been very clear on that one.

The Y5B problem.

This is going to be my first out of state match. Really looking forward to the match, side matches and the train ride. Ye haa! Se ya all there!

I wonder if the thought ever occurred sending a probe into the sun might cause an explosion which would in turn cause the sun to burn itself out or increase global warming? Should we really be doing things like this?

Personally I don't think those Kardashian bimbos are a match for either.

An EXAMPLE would be shouldering a rifle and sighting down the barrel = SDQ Some shooters close the lever, then simply pull the trigger while it is lying flat on the table to drop the hammer = NO CALL

we accept Class A motorhomes too!! get a big one cheap with a blown motor and have it towed in,,,lol

The problem with requirements to own and carry is who gets to set the requirements? How do we make sure we don't see more and more "reasonable" requirements? I agree that people should get training and practice regularly. But I can't agree with any State imposed requirements for the exercise of an enumerated and specifically and strongly protected civil right.

Up to the TO. If he believes the shooter didn’t hear the Stop command it’s not an MDQ. If the TO believes the shooter heard it but continued it’s a MDQ. In this case the TO has stated he believes the shooter didn’t hear him. He’s in the best position to know so it’s not a MDQ.

The one that really annoys me are the young people who when surprised by a comment will like to say "shut UP!". Apparently they haven't gotten the hint just how rude that sounds. Anyway, at my workplace we've come up with a new way to communicate thoughts and ideas without making them sound offensive, especially when communicating with the upper managers. We simply replace the existing thought or expression with a newer, more politically correct phrase: Old comment: "Go to Hell." New revised comment: "Sorry?" Old comment: "Eat s** and die." New revised comment: "Excuse me?" Old comment: "Eat s*** and die, mo********er." New revised comment: "Excuse me, Sir?"

I will shoot my first match in March.

Based on the recommendations above, I went with Tombstone leather and I couldn't be happier. Got this rig in Saturday, just in time to use it in a match yesterday. Great rig. Very comfortable and perfect for what I was looking for. Nick was very helpful and knew exactly what I wanted when we spoke on the phone. He provided excellent service, and his time was really fast. His prices also were much lower than expected. All in all, a very good decision I don't mind saying. Here are some pics. These are his pics. I haven't taken pics of the rig with my "snake" gun in it yet.

Yeah, but I don't drink... not since 1977. Now maybe if old Bob keeps some ice cold Dr. Pepper or Coke around we could sit around and whittle and spit.

great to have you among us! You're going to love SASS; come for the shooting, stay for the people
