With this match only attracting something like 80 shooters, is it really necessary to have it spread out over 3 days plus a warm up day?
If EOT started on the Monday there is 4 days of cost savings, especially for those who have to motel it, that's approx $800.00 ??
This could easily be shot in 2 days like WR and still have plenty of time for WB side matches.
And this could be an attraction to attract more WB shooters travelling from afar,.....any thoughts out there?

Sure Hit sights at Slicks Magic Guns

No one is forcing you to modify your gun and there is no penalty if your gun just holds 5, but if you want to be competitive I would suggest making your gun hold 6. You don't hear Wild Bunch shooters whining about a 1911 that will 7 to 8 rounds, yet we only load 5. Get out your hacksaw, saw off the barrel to 20 inches, buy a 6 round spring kit and get on with it...................
+1.
And with that I thinking this thread Is dead.LOL

If you've done the awards Sat night it's over and done, folks will be wanting to head home. We used to do that at Land Run and didn't really work, if you want a shoot off, it needs to be done before the finale awards. Andrew there's probably not time.
-
Well that would be like taking your standard Chevy Impala down to Daytona 500 and say you want to play to.?

Boggus, thanks for the info. Still looking at buying one for wild bunch shooting. But not wanting to pay a price out of range of its worth. The store owner is asking $725.00. That seems a little high for a Para. Even if it is a limited edition. What do you think? Thanks in advance, Will.
PS, hope to see you again at Winter Range this year.
Will I've got one of those Paras. It's a safe queen really, has a lightened trigger and a $150.00 action job done on it.
It's all black with black grips with dot sights, great gun in near new condition, doubt if it's had 600 rounds through it.
I'm looking for $695.00 will bringing to WR.
First I'll take it gets it.

Hey Boomstick...you know those two guns you short stroked for me ?
Well they're.......going bloody great mate!LOL.

Congratulations from down under, see ya both hopefully at WR.

"We're not shooting for sheep stations as we say down here in Aussie"Not sure I want to know exactly what that means.
A sheep ranch that's usually about 200000 square miles!

orAlways thought it was unfair to take rankings over a years time. Too many factors that effect attendance and generally the person with the highest attendance has an advantage with points over time.
Without creating another category, assign your points to the top shooters male/female for each shoot. If they shoot in at least 5 or 6 shoots over the year then average their individual scores. Top average score wins the prize. If there is a tie.... The perhaps a super shoot off between them.
Isn't that the situation with any sport ranking points Ace? They don't average the points out if you can't make a NASCAR race!
And if you can't make it cause you got a wedding or funeral or birthday to go to, well you may have to work a little harder to catch up?
We're not shooting for sheep stations as we say down here in Aussie, it's for a buckle!!!
-
I like the qualification. It's goes against the "every kid makes the soccer team" mentality that seems to have crept in everywhere.
Exactly.
-
I agree and with the addition of the other categories to the annual awards idea, I am leaning towards doing away with the qualification idea and allowing anyone to shoot the open/Renegade category who wants to. The silver buckle for that category will hopefully draw some of the fastest shooters, making more room at the top of the other categories.
I think that might defeat the purpose of the whole idea SS. Slicks original concept was you had to ACHIEVE, to get into the top 5 in his case. If you missed a match, well that's your problem you'll be out of the posse for a while. But then again you don't have to miss a match not to finish in the top 5 ( using Slicks comp) . You might shoot badly and be out anyway. If you widen it up to what you're thinking it becomes just another category/ posse and the incentive to ACHIEVE I think will lost.
For other categories here's something I used back in Aussie before, allocate points to each shooter depending on where they finish in each category. I limited the categories, to a minimum of 4 if they want to participate. So for example if you have 6 wranglers then the winner gets 6 points then downward as per your Renegade posse. It will vary week to week so next week you might only have 4 wranglers, winner only gets 4 points etc. End of the year highest points are winners. If you change categories you cannot carry previous category points across!
One last idea, not every one can shoot to win, many will go just to try and shoot a clean match. Give each clean match shooter a token, like wooden coin or something, then end of the year they place them all in hat and draw for the Sharpshooter of the year buckle.
Just my thinkingLol.

Prayers up from downunder, hope to see you at WR , Palewolf.

Thanks KK.
T Bone if ya wanna hold 2 spots for us, we really won't know until till later in the year if we can get a visa extension.
Our 6 months next year will end 1st week Aug as we're coming back in 1st week Feb.
Immigration will only give legal immigrants 6 months at the border.!
Unless someone gives us a job, and does the work visa app?

Any 1872 open tops around in 44 Russian, Colt or special.?
Looking for a pair later model
-
No, not yet Jack. We do have two great Hotel host. Americas Best Value Inn and Holiday Inn Express.
Where are they located please?
-
T Bones got a lake at Badlands Bar 3 maybe he could set up a stage there?.
-
Oh yea, you'll have a great time....only thing is..you might not remember it. Lol.

Yes started coating with HI-TEK polymer. So far all is good. They look and shoot great.
I just wanted to get some opinions about them. I guess it verifies what I was thinking. I can't see any down side.

Thank you mister Jackaroo!

I've been shooting SNS castings poly coated bullets since they started making them. Not sure how they compare to Hi-Tek. There's been no issues with leading in my bores at all. Everything stays cleaner, dies, hands and guns. They can be a bit slick to pick up, but that's an acceptable issue. And shoot well out of my Glock 34 with polygonal rifling as mentioned above.
My 1911 chamber seems to stay much cleaner with the poly coated bullets as well.
Even tried them with BP in 44-40 and .38's, at local matches with close targets they've work well. Typically I get through a whole match without much fouling. Longer target distances on hot days, that's a different story all together. As expected accuracy diminishes after a few stages rather quickly without lube.

All SNS bullets are coated with Hi Tek

I got a 73 & a 66 in 44 special Tom, nicer cartridge than mag I think.
-
Them coated bullets originated in Aussie and Hi Tek is a great product.
What I found best was I lubed the actual bullet with a muzzleloader lube so it went into the empty lube groove, nothing precision all just coated it with a ice cream stick or something and then loaded it on top of a card wad, or filler if I had to use some.
I then swabbed the rifle bore with a wet one you know those nappy wipes after every stage, and never had a problem, accuracy was maintained and easier to clean at the end of shooting.
Just put the rifle back in the cart and ran the rod and swab up and down twice and that was it.

Yes the regional date changed because of the availability of the cowboy museum for the banquet.
Merry Christmas to y'all.

Take your point on the style of match there Frank, but still think 6 challenging stages can be shot in a day. Maybe if could be only 10 stages, 5 per day?
Last year stages were finished by lunch time, so another two could easily be fitted in.
As for the two days in between, well yes I agree maybe that could be cut down to one, but there is a lot of other side events & other things happening on those days too. And then there are two warm up days, only one at WR, with more shooters.!
Some shooters shoot in ALL warm up matches, on both days! Kudos to them, but......
And by the way, I'm not complaining, just trying to see what other shooters and potential new EOT shooters think.!........as per Lead Foots post.
If WB did move to Monday and Tuesday and the WB side matches be Scheduled alongside other side matches on those other two in between days, then you don't have WB side matches on the WB match day.
Could the BAM match be run the same time thereabouts as long range? Or after one of the WB main match days if time.
There seems to be some scope to maybe compress the event without too much change, and am pretty certain EOT would attract more entries overall.
Just the view from my wagon.
