That explains why they were digging that pit where you and Pinky camp. I am sure they will have it filled in by next week. Barn needs cleaning.

I have not missed one yet, dont figure to miss this one. Weather may even be good this year.

I will see what can be done for those of you who cant think outside the box. Obviously Cat got the negative reversed on this picture. Same way Billy the Kid became Left handed.

Lets forget about the penalty and look at safety only.
Shooting one gun at a time: the stage instructions take care of shooting my gun empty. ie. With first 5 rounds….
Even if I re-holster with hammer cocked it is on a spent or empty round.
If I hit my trigger on the draw nothing goes boom, (and most of us pull our pistols with our fingers in place)
If I am shooting GF which I do.
If I shoot 5 rounds and re-holster with a cocked pistol it is going to be on a live round. In the all the excitement I redraw with my finger already on trigger, Bang.
Penalties be damned, I now have a major problem with possible injury, hospital visit and police report not to. mention the range officials and insurance.
This may seem a little far reaching but I have seen it happen with shooter loosing count at 8, re-holstering with cocked revolvers (it happens) redraws and shoot through the bottom of his/her holster. Shooter did not get hurt nor did I report it to the range owner for a few months.
As TO, please do not give me more responsibilities to perform. I dont want to have to worry about my GF re-holstering a cocked revolver.

oh yea, if you are shooting over or through something you will shoot high every time until you figure out you are not going to hit the table.

OP said shotgun so back to topic for a short post
Hold the shotgun where it is comfortable, for me that is above my pistol butt. Look where you want to hit on the target, squeeze the triqger. You probably hit low the first time. It takes a little practice but it gets easier. Some of my partners are known to squat a little for some reason.it seems to help them. Let the gun rock a little, dont try to hold it rock steady.
I am also not sure why you can shoot the rifle from the shoulder but not the shotgun.

A mark like you all are talking about (temporary and white) could be considered an external modification that is not listed in the approved list.
You are not allowed to mark the front site with any color that was not common back in the day. Not sure about marking a cylinder to facilitate at quicker reload.

Whiskey Creek wont let you talk bad about our posse, add him to Outlaw if you can. if not move me to GF.

This tread is not really about counting rounds or miss counted rounds. This is really about knowing what the call/rule is and making it quickly and correctly. As TO I have missed some rounds, as a shooter I have sure miss counted rounds. It happens.
Take the classes, it is well worth it in these situations.
This is addressed in RO I at least twice off the top of my head maybe even three times. Like wise in RO II.
Things happen on the clock that we really dont know how they happened. Counting shoots is one of them.
Two misses, next shooter.

I was not planning on going for a few years.
Plans do have a way of changing.

Sad news indeed. We will keep family and friends in our hearts and prayers.

If you are not staying on the range I would strongly recommend Twin Fountains RV Resort. On site restaurant and bar owned by a Marine. It is an easy 30 minute drive to the range. About 2 miles from the Cowboy Museum where the awards are held. Also about a mile or so from the casino/horse track if you like that sort of thing. I would also make it down town to the Land Run Memorial. One of the greatest display of brass sculptures I have ever seen. Also can stop at Toby Keith bar and grill while you are there.
We RV a lot and are in North GA. We will push through and do one night stands for two nights then spend a few nights in OK City even when shooting is not involved. It is a interesting city. If you want to see something really strange check out the Bone Museum. Lots of fun.

It is up to to TO to make sure the last shot is picked up. If TO can not say for sure then BOD goes to shooter.
I had this happen to me, state match. Time was faster than I can shoot by few seconds.(Maybe 10 or so) TO was not looking at the clock so does not know for sure but I do. (Best stage of the day by the way.)Took the reshoot and did not do well.
Still bugs me.
TO's do your job and watch the last shots record.

Another sad announcement, we have lost another great cowboy and friend. Sheriff Lord has passed, Sheriff Lord shot with many clubs in the South East, had been in Washington State for the last few years. He was a proud veteran and loved the Cowboy game. We will miss him and our hearts and prayers go out to Sassy Motchie and family.

Lighting McCoy, This is also one of our partners from the Oak Ridge Outlaws and Smoky Mountain Shootist Society and the Ocoee Rangers. He was the voice of SMSO for many years on awards night. Hard worker, incredibly pleasant to be around. The expression "He would give you the shirt off of his back on a cold day" fits him to a T. A true Classic Cowboy.
RIP m
y friend.

Thank you, I will take this opportunity to post the first one.
We lost Preacher Red in early December of 2020 (the year from hell) He was a wonderful father, grandfather, and friend. He was very instrumental in making the Smoky Mountain Shoot Out a success. If you ever attended one of our shoots he was the one that kept the fire buckets going and you would see him riding around on a green Gator making sure everyone was having a great time. He was always a pleasure to be around, had a kind word for everyone and knew how to tell a story. He shot a Spenser so always had to load 3 rounds on the clock and was known to talk to the TO during his shooting string. His favorite line was "Do I have a P yet" He will be missed by all.

I have two, both run well, the 45 feeds better due to the weight of the bullet. I have been know to stove pipe the 38. Lots of fun to shoot.

Johnny Harlan, it was great shooting with you and Jim Powder. Mighty fine shooting partners. Come back anytime, workers like you two would be welcome anywhere.

The last time if flew which was a few years ago the required method of carrying ammo was either in the clips with clips out of the gun or in the original package. Clips and guns had to be in a locked hard side case. Could be in the same case. This was a non CAS gun of course.
Also, the airports did not have a standard way of handling guns. When I was flying my CAS guns around the country, Our airport did not even look at the guns, I opened the case and they laid a form I had signed saying the guns were unloaded and locked the case back up. At the Dallas airport they took the whole case back away from my sight and checked the guns and then sent the key back out to me. Sometimes my guns were on the convayer, sometimes they were behind the counter and one time they wheeled my guns out last and checked my ID before they would release them to me. (I liked that one best)
I no longer fly if I can help it and love to drive now.
