Truly sad news, our hearts go out to her family. She will be missed by all who knew her. I agree with Cholla, BorderTown will not be the same.

Hoss, it will be good to see you and Bad Ash again, not so much the old man but heck you cant win them all. As they say in the old west, you can pick your friends but you are stuck with family.

Blackwater what the heck is "Wasn’t displeased?" That is almost a double negative. You take care of yourself and I look forward to seeing you in Kentucky even if it is just a day.
On that subject…the weather is looking like it may be a good one. Yard Sale on Thursday with some guns on the table I am sure. Plenty of items everyone needs. Shoot-offs, both Man on Man and team events. Maybe a little foolishness, good music. What have I forgotten? Oh, I remember, there is also a two day 10 stage State shoot.
Come see us once and you will become a regular at Pondarosa Pines

I may not remember my fourth match but I do remember that feeling. Keep at it, it only gets better.

Lets make that RO class on Thursday a RO I Class, If you are interested in RO II let me know and I will set something up. I would also be willing to teach a class on Wednesday if there is enough interest. I will be there so if that would help on side match day let me know that also.

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.

Seeing as this is the weekend after KY State up at Pondarosa Pines we will plan to stay an extra day or two at Joes then head down to Alabama.This is now two weeks after KY State, dont plan on staying that long with Copperhead
TKD save my camping spot.
Deadlee how about some round count stages so us gifted shooters (GF) can cornfuse the spotters.
Spring is just around the corner.

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.
