It will be worth the price just to watch Widder go up against some top '97 shooters in the shotgun side match!
Actually, it will be worth the price just to watch those 'other' top 97 shooters in the side
match, and Ole Widder will be a spectator...
Don't be surprised if some spirited (fast) 87 and SxS shooters also put up some respectable times.
Looks like Red Knee (The Oklahoma Tornado) will be missing the party this year. Sure gonna miss his show.
And looking at the list of shooters, I counted no less than 6 or 7 top SG shooters
that can make their favored SG sing... in the key of 'boom'.
And one of those is a top shooting Cowgirl.
Heck, I'm just surprised Superman ain't sent in his application yet.

I agree with you, Randy..... 100%.
If a person really wants to be fast, ya gotta pull out nearly all the restrictions to find out those 'impossible' limits.
Soon, the practice sessions will reveal areas of sloppiness that can be worked on. AND, those fast practice sessions
will also reveal that your previous 'limitations' are changing because your speed has improved.
Assuming you don't have any restrictive health issues, you gotta believe in yeowndangself and believe those
'unreachable' speeds are actually not impossible to reach.
Sooooooo, I would suggest you practice hard and practice fast.
At a match, its o.k. to throttle back a little. But when its practice time again, as Randy stated, ya gotta practice
fast to know your speed limits..... and then exceed it.
You might be the next 'speedmeister'.

Dang, it really really pains me to say it but this one time, and only one time, in this particular instance.....gulp "Scarlet is right."
1. You're behind the time, KK. She was also right when she married Tommy Gun.
2. She was right when she shot the Marlin.
3. AND...... she Was right when she choose to shoot the Widdermatic......

I might add...... "PROPER" practice is most important.
Its easy to get sloppy and use bad techniques in dry firing. So be cautious.
Some of the posters above have world class credibility in shooting Duelist. Take their advice wisely.
Another world champ duelist is TN Williams. I'll call him on the phone and get him to post some
info for you. Then one day........ you can kick his butt.

So what's the call on calling a call before PWB gets here and closes the thread?
Great to see you Widder. Still working on rifles?

CG: I basically retired from Marlin work and Henry .22 work about 4 years back when I had my heart surgery.
A fellow shooter, friend, neighbor and gunsmith... SLATER, is now officially working on Marlins and the Henry .22
Thanks for asking.
HC: anybody that can master a 97 like you is probably never confused about anything.....
Looks like you and Red Knee are gonna make me handle those speedsters from New Mexico, all by
meowndangself at the TN State this summer. Wish me luck....... LOTS of luck.

For a 3 plate Nevada Sweep, a GUNFIGHTER could anchor their left (or right) pistol on the center plate (P2) for 1st shot, 3rd and 5th shot.
The other pistol would only have to shoot 2nd shot on P3 and then 4th shot on P1. Or similar depending on which direction they
choose to go.

There are 5 targets each for both pistol and rifle
Instructions: with first 5 shots..... sweep the 5 targets. With remaining 5 shots, Nevada Sweep the 3 INSIDE targets.
My question: Unless specified in the instructions as to which target the Nevada Sweep begins, can the shooter
rightfully start their Nevada Sweep on the CENTER target?
Basically, this would mean the sweep would be 3-4-3-2-3. (or, 3-2-3-4-3). depending upon which direction the shooter chooses.
I would say 'YES', but some folks have told me in the past that a Nevada Sweep 'HAS' to start on an end target.
Remember, the instructions didn't declare which of those 3 inside targets the sweep started. BUT, the instructions did
refer to the sweep as 'NEVADA'.

Christmas,
here is a video I did a few years back. The belt being used is a single loop, canvas by Doc Noper.
Which ever kind of belt you choose, it can be good for you if you practice a good technique that works for you.
Good luck.
I have 3 of these videos if you decide to view them. They are titled: Widowmaker dry fire practice #1, #2. and #3.
Hope you enjoy.

I would take a colored marking pen and color in ALL the area around the numbers, with the numbers included.
THEN, I could take some steel wool and lightly buff it. This might help give you a clearer indication
of those numbers.

Have any of you heard the rumor that TW is gonna have a 'vendor spot' this year
at the TN State. Apparently his new business is gonna have a vendor trailer set up
representing his new business "Pet Traders, Inc."
Although not a special 'Cowboy Match Special', he'll have his normal deals of trading
a Banty Rooster for a few young chicks. He claims his 'Banty's can crow better than
any Banty out of Alabama or Georgia. I'll have to see it to believe it.
BUT, to get approval to set up a vendor spot, he was required to have a couple special
deals. Sooooo, TW has decided to give 1/2 price deals on Chicken toenail clippers and
Possum Dentures, for those whose pet Possum has lost its teeth.
TW has his own brand of Chicken Nail Clippers (CNC).
His vending hours will vary, depending on when he's not hugging babies and kissing
women.
I have not been compensated for this advertisement but rather do it as a free
public service. Your Welcome!
EDIT: and don't buy his 'Ivory Toothpicks', regardless of price.

I'm so old that when I was a kid, AL GORE hadn't invented anything yet.
When I was a kid, we had ice delivered to our house 2 or 3 times a week to put in the ice box and help keep stuff 'cool'.
Bologna was sliced fresh at the local grocery store. Small bottles of coke were 6-cents and came from a machine
that had a swivel handle to turn downward after you put your money in it.
3 packs of gum (5 pieces per pack) were only 10-cents.
3 nickel candy bars were also 10-cents if you bought 3 of them at the same time.
EDIT: only problem was......... we rarely ever had a dime.

Draw both - cock both - fire 1st - fire 2nd (while cocking 1st) - fire 2nd (while cocking 1st)
Thats how I do it.
My left thumb and right index finger work simultaneously.
AND... my right thumb and left index finger work simultaneously.
My other 6 fingers on each hand grip the pistol while my 3rd hand grabs shotgun shells, etc.......

Both LASSITER and SLATER are very reputable with the 87.
Although not active in working on 87 anymore, FIREBALL in Florida is also 'legendary' in his 87 skills.

I ain't a Ruger pistol smith, BUT...... I would check to make sure the Hammer 'PLUNGER' and the 'BOLT'
are making correct contact. The plunger might have a chip on the edge or worn.
Not likely, but check out the plunger spring also to make sure it still has its integrity.
Just a thought.
Best regards

Are your Ruger's set up for the BOLT to lock in the cylinder from "ENERTIA"?
In other words, does the PAWL (hand) push the cylinder completely into proper lock up or has the revolver(s) been
set up for the cylinder to spin from inertia the las few .000's in rotation for the bolt to securely fall into its cylinder notch?
If the bolt isn't locking the cylinder each time, the cartridge isn't completely centered to the firing pin, and therefore,
the firing pin will hit off center of the primer.
When another person has 100% reliability with the same revolvers(s), they are probably cocking the hammer with more forceful
energy.....which will ensure the cylinder rotates that little extra movement for the bolt to lock up correctly.

One of Wartrace favorite sons and World Champion Duelist,
TN Williams, got injured this morning. You won't believe it, but he was injured while

Another true story. Just ask Krazy Kajun..... ya just can't make this stuff up!

There's a reason they start kids out with doubles.
I wish Chicken George would have realized that a few years ago.....
EDIT: Hey HC, looks like you and Red Knee are gonna hide out
somewhere else during this TN 'brew-haa'. Its gonna be a good one.
I plan to bring my 5 gallon bucket of shells.
Red Knee can verify its a real bucket.
