Great match, one of the best ranges in the country. Hell On Wheels should be the High Plains Regional match.

Stoegers are problematic from time to time.

The topic of discussion is lead particles, not how long I stay in bed and do nothing.

Yeah, but with "in your face" targets the dust is much closer. The same guys are always up front timing, resetting targets, setting up matches. Betcha a Dr. Pepper their lead levels are higher than those that sit in the peanut gallery and do little.

I've often wondered about the dust from the lead impacting sg targets. In a windy area, like Wyoming, one can feel the dust blowing back off the targets.

Stand by, delay, beep. Pisses me off when I get a Stand beep. When a shooter is focused, a poor timer operator can ruin his/her thought process.

San Juan host's a great match. Plenty of movement, challenging targets and sequences. Montrose is a nice town.

Close, multiple hit targets, drag race type stages. Do y'all know why OBD's are becoming more frequent?

Just out of curiosity, how close were targets and was it a multiple hit target that the OOBD happened on?

We used to shoot snakes all the time. It was a hoot

I don't see the advantage. And, I feel it creates bad habits. Yes, I've seen shooters set their pistols down at the first or second shoot position and then waste time reholstering. To me it's a potential train wreck.

I don't write the rules. We started placing tables at the pistol positions incase of a malfunction. Then, it morphed into setting pistols down. Personally, I don't like it.

Sad news indeed. A family of shooters.

Sorry to hear about Reggie, been a few years since we crossed paths.

So, if 4 stages are set up further and the wind is problematic, is that a disadvantage to those that shot during the wind. If they were varying distances on four stages per day wouldn't it be less of a disadvantage for those that had to shoot in the high wind. As for difficulty, I have a shoot book from WR 2001. I don't know if anyone was clean back then. Split pistols with different sequences was normal. Rifle was different than pistols. Lots of P's and misses. Not every stage was 10-10-4. I recall much more fun and enthusiasm back then. The wind was really bad in 1999 too.

I purchased two case of AA's last spring. Just assumed they'd be good. I looked like a bumbling idiot trying to get them to load and shuck. My old STS reloads were fine out the same gun. Yes, there is a problem. I might try to run them through my press in order to resize them.

We shoot steel with no problems. Also do a long range pp, target is set at 25 yards.

Place the Derringer on the ground, start standing facing up range. At the signal bend over, shooting thru your legs, and shoot the target behind you.

You are correct. But, it'd be a lot more fun than just busting a target with two shots. Although, I've seen shooters blow holes in the table attempting to shoot the Derringer as fast as possible.

Sounds like fun, I'm all about doing something different. How about 10 shots on 10 targets with the Derringer and moving down range, 4 reloads would be a hoot.

Never heard of him either, what type of music did he perform? It's sad we are losing so many talented artists.

Just use some stainless bolts with flat washers and stick them in the holes with nuts and washers on the insides. It'll look kind of cool and people will wonder what the truck was used for. You don't have to tell them it was from shooting practice.

I don't use sg reloads for a major match. Not that I don't trust my reloads, I just want to make sure everything is going to work as designed. Factory shells seem to shuck better, and that is one less thing to worry about. You're only talking about 4-5 boxes of factory loads, a small price to pay for piece of mind. Better to be safe than sorry considering one shell hang up could cost a couple seconds or even a 10 second penalty. Good luck at WR.
