    Having a mentor is extremely helpful. I have several locally I can bounce ideas off of and the wire has been a great place for information and resources for me as well 

    There are a lot of good cowboys in your area, dont be afraid to ask for a hands on lesson. If youre only planning to shoot a few cowboy matches a month, I would get a Lee load all. They are very affordable (check midway) and easy to use. You could spend hundreds or even thousands on high quality equipment but odds are you'll never recoup that cost.

    The "Reading Impaired" comment was a direct shot at my buddy, Shooting Bull 

    For the record, is this the first time you've publicly admitted to being friends with guy?  🤣

  3. If youre asking about a box stock gun, yes, per design. Any gun thats been worked on has lost it's factory warranty. It's "probably" ok, but i wouldnt make a habit of it.

    Yes that’s who we use at THSS. We’ve also used them for making pins. Michael and his graphics designer are really easy to work with on the design of the buckles. They do a lot of work for the Houston Rodeo badges and other buckles. 

    Whats your ave cost on these?

  5. Abilene, buckles are the only prize that offers return on investment. I travel all over the country and people always ask where i got my buckles. it gets people asking about your match. Its an opportunity to tell them how much fun i had. Stones, acrylics, medallions, etc are nice but my grandkids dont care when they see them on my shelf. Your potential customers see your ad displayed all day in a buckle.

    I’m more interested in what caused your 650 to “blew up a full tube of primers”.  

    One bad apple... 😆 

    Ive done it too, full tube. BT Blade called it the 'crap yer pants, happy dance'. Theres a reason they dumped the design on the 750...

  7. Ive been watching this thread kick around all week and see multiple issues being blurred as one. First, target failure is a separate issue from a willful surrender. We dont penalize for target failure. when i started playing this game, i dont remember anyone quiting before they ran out of ammo. Just wouldnt do it. We used to shoot hoses (snakes) 5 yards (+/-) down range and it might take 2 or 10 shots to get it done. We shot little rabbit and squirrel cutouts and if it spun sideways, Lord help you cause it had to go down "to count". Thats my next point; we've gotten lax in stagewriting because we shouldnt have to appeal to SCOTUS for stage instructions. We used to say "must go down to count but over the years dropped many of the obvious and extemporaneous. Somewhere along the way, the loophole lawyers and the penalty distribution society went to war and here we are. With three rule books, another of clarifcations and an entire glossary because we have to define if and then.

    We will be having our Wartrace Regulators Cowboy / Wild Bunch Match tomorrow and it looks like it’s going to be a great day. The Cowboys/ Cowgirls will be shooting stages 6-10 and the Wild Bunch will be on 11-15.
     
    Registration opens at 8:30, Safety Meeting at 9:30 and shooting starts around 10:00.
    Fees are the same and it’s time for members to pay their dues. Also don’t forget to get your entries in for the Tennessee State Championship, it will be here soon and I expect we will fill up again.
     
    Here’s the email I got from Whiskey Hayes.
     
    Cowgirls, Cowboys and Wild Bunch
    Wartrace is shooting this Saturday April 19th. Load up, pack up and come for a good shooting time. This Saturday's temps the low is mid 60's and the high is in the mid 80's.

    Thanks misty, one of my filters grabbed it. Got it done.

    With the filter?  If I just hunt down through the list of all clubs I can find them, but with the filter I either get only those 9 clubs I mentioned earlier, and only if I do it just so, otherwise I get nothing.

    With the filter, i see 19, so thats weird huh?
