Phantom, SASS #54973

I don't think you're making anyone mad...on the "spotter" thing I was just clarifying. We have a PF of 60. It's low relative to other shooting sports but SASS/CAS caters to a group that is generally much older and recoil is a concern for many of them. Shoot what you enjoy as long as it's within the rules. But please understand that He-Man heavy loads while being legal, do have an effect on others. We shoot steel and at a close distance...but if you think accuracy isn't important...yer just kidding yourself. Phantom PS: You are probably the first person that I've ever heard say that they don't enjoy shooting 22's...most of the actual friends I have enjoy shooting 22's above all else.

They're called "Spotters". Missed calls...having three different "miss" callouts, will happen on heavy loads as well since often times the Spotters will be squinting in anticipation of the loud report...wondering how much more of it they can take before they need to go back to the audiologist to be fitted for new hearing aids. Also, as I'm sure you're aware of, there is a minimum PF that should be enforced. If you think the rounds are not meeting the PF, call it. I'll also add that since we are shooting steel and not bad guys of the "old west", that heavy man killer loads only kills the hearing of the other competitors...bad guys don't really exist down range... Cheers! Phantom

If it was shipped via U.S. Postal Service Ground Advantage then standard delivery can take up to 5 business days. No doubt that there are some delays going on right now...and the Common Carriers have their fair share of lost/delayed deliveries. Phantom

How was it shipped? Phantom

Where's the apostrophe? Phantom

Fonts are not correct... Don't believe the frame was ever marked "COLT'S"... Phantom

Funny...take a magnified image of the side... It's a frankingun... Hope you didn't pay much for it. Phantom

Probably...metal. What makes your gun a "black powder" gun? Phantom

Yes, those proof marks on the cylinder scream Colt original. Also love how the frame serial number is on an inserted piece of metal... Definitely original Colt! Phantom

I can't say most, but certainly many dealers sell used guns as is ... And probably most consider all firearm sales as final. If there's an issue with a new gun they'll tell you to contact the manufacturer. Phantom

Of course... Opinion. My comments too are just opinions. If you combine form with accuracy, that's what you'll get. If you combine form with speed... That's what you'll get. Phantom

I would say the point on accuracy/speed is bad advice... If you want to win Championship. Phantom

Go with whatcha like...but the increased sight radius isn't needed for this game. Phantom

You folks have a great range that allows a lot of movement. Most clubs don't have that luxury unfortunately. 21 years ago... When I started... they still had the Stoopid Stand and Deliver stages... which I too hate. Back in the day at The Cowboys in Norco we set up stages in the morning. Target size and distance hasn't changed that much... But I do see a bit more target arrays that have all the targets at the same height and in a nice perfectly straight line...ugh... Phantom

There's isn't anyone that plays this game that isn't doing it for the fun. Phantom... And I'll say it again; If I can't compete, I won't have fun. If I don't have fun, I won't compete.

You know... Point Shooting doesn't really take away your sight picture... Phantom

You do know that with a cut Ruger vaquero trigger spring you can make an SKB both mechanical and inertia reset ... Right? Phantom

Frankly, sounds like you have an ego... Actually we all do. The sooner folks realize this the quicker we can stop with these kind of comments. As Badlands Bud once said: If I can't compete I won't have fun. If I don't have fun I won't compete. Phantom

Evil Roy and Holy Terror were shooting with Badlands Bud. Bud had a miss on stage and still beat them. Evil Roy says...I guess you can shoot faster than clean. Phantom

Well you used the word "you" when replying to Griff's take on your comments... Just wanted you to know that Griff's take wasn't a singular one. Phantom

How you place is irrelevant to developing into a "gunslinger". You're confusing how to win a match with how to become good enough to win a match. Phantom

As China Camp said: Smooth is fast, quick is slow Don't worry about misses so long as they don't equal more than your raw time. Never listen to anyone that says to slow down and try to shoot clean. Know who you're taking advice from. Phantom

Introducing into a match a firearm that folks are not familiar with is rather foolish. Do that stuff outside of an actual match. Phantom

My take was/is the same as Griff's... Cheers! Phantom

Why not attack them??? Phantom
