Even Ben Cartwright didn't wear a hat all the time.

Post those baby's in the Classified, with reasonable and fair pricing, and my guess is that they
will go fast.
Are they IAC (Norinco) and if so.....what are the first 2 digits of the serial number?
If those 2 digits are 06 or higher, like 09.....OR if those digits are CB (most desired),
they should be easy to sell.

Some reloading manuals have a section with 'Hot' stuff for the .45 Colt.
And also for specific revolvers and rifles for that 'hot' stuff.
Check it out and choose your bullet selection wisely and you should have a
successful hunt. Make sure your firearm can handle that 'hot' stuff before you
run it thru that 1860.

Horse Creek,
I like and agree with your post.
BUT, our game of Cowboy Action Shooting was/is designed and guided around HOLLYWOOD westerns.....old movies
we grew up watching and love.
But.....everyone knows that Hollywood is DINKY.

Normally, I would have said..."No Call".
But of course, after reading the relevant information posted by PWB, I would request the shooter put their hands somewhere around
their ears, temple, eyes.....head vicinity.
But my big question concerning any penalty would be.....'was a competitive advantage achieved whether hands were
touching the hat on the head or hat on the table. Seems like both starting points are basically the same...atleast it would be for
me.

Are you asking about the explosive type C-4?

SEAL's should be proud of what they have accomplished, as other special forces should be also.
But probably one of the worse things of NOT keeping some of our Special Forces a secret is all these
'wannabees' giving them a bad rap. I believe if I were in any kind of special forces, I'd probably
never tell anyone.
After all....some of them are already from another planet.

My only question would be...... with all the Indians and the Troopers that came along shortly after the battle, how did
this pistol not get picked up by somebody.
Just wondering.

I don't know about 'stamped steel' and reading erased serial numbers.
BUT... if somebody finds a 5 million year old skeleton with a 1" hole in the top of
the skull, those FBI guys can tell you the caliber of the club that caused it or
how big the Saber Tooth Tiger was that bit it.
And...they can tell whether it was a woman or slow running man.

SB,
You've gone from wanting information on speed to asking about a little 'technical' help.
For meowndangself, I'd love to acquire a good shooting habit as Stan stated above.
And even better than that, guys like Bad River Marty can see out of BOTH eyes at the same time while
looking at 2 separate targets while shooting GF. Its a rare gift some shooters have.
Hopefully, most of the information you get on this thread is from champions like Sante Fe River Stan, Deuce, Deadeye Dillard, etc.....
Any advice I might have would be considered advice from a 'wannabee' because my eyesight ain't so good....and sometimes
my eyesight ain't trustworthy either..... if you know what I mean.

Hey Widder! How the hell are ya?
Howdy DOC.
I'm doing fine and trying to 'pace' myself during this southern Sumer heat and humidity.
At 75, I now prefer to shoot in the shade.....
You (and others) are right about pushing fast and then faster. I wore blisters on my thumbs when trying to
keep up with Badlands Bud on speed GF runs. Then, those blisters turn to calluses.
Then the calluses got chewed on by more hammer cocking....... but the goal was 'speed'.
As you well know, there is a price and COMMITMENT when trying to gain speed with our firearms. And that price ain't
cheap and the commitment ain't exactly easy. I should use the term...'dedicated commitment'.
And with my 97, I cut a few fingers and tore a few fingernails during practice. And I wore out a couple
shotguns also.
AND... you are right about the eyes. Great advice.
Hope you are doing well. A big part of our game today is because YOU and a handful of others, gave many of us
good tips and information to help us.....and keep the game fun. Thank you!
God Bless...... and let's hope Shooting Bull don't get tired of reading our 'seasoned' advice.

Just as you think you have progressed, you have the realization that you are a whole bunch older and there isn't but maybe one in your age category so you are then competing with them youngsters (70 and below) who already have figured out the speed, transitions, etc that is needed to beat your butt.
Good luck SB. I'm trying too. New powder/bullet combinations and more practice but there are those "little things" that seem to keep getting in my way [like arthritic thumbs, to many stuck hulls, life small bumps (back surgery, rotator & bicep surgery) and those "seemingly" long hauls from A to B].
Good news is at whatever age, God has given you/me opportunity to play this game at any speed.
BB,
you hit the nail on the head........and the back.
At 75, I find meowndangself slowing down a little, mostly in my lack of dedicated practice and gung-ho effort.
But we can still enjoy the game and shooting with good friends.
Sometimes, we squeeze in a victory and sometimes, we stumble and those friends get the big Win.

In my opinion, NOT giving an earned penalty is not a.'good favor' anymore than giving an earned penalty being a detriment.
The 'P' was earned and the 'P' should have been awarded.

I thought the letters are: SGFC
But I can also see that 3rd letter as an 'H'.
I think it stands for something like....'Southeast Gun & Fish Club'
or maybe 'Sierra Gun & Fish Club'.
Just a guess

If I were really Superman, I wouldn't have (nor need) any friends who felt like they needed to carry a gun to
prove my reality.
AND.....if I were Superman, I would have used my 'laser vision' to suddenly melt the barrel.... or atleast the bullet... when it
exited the barrel to insure NOBODY got hurt.
As for being a Super Hero, I prefer to use my ability of 'Invisability' to help keep me from being shot.....

Howdy Tall John.
Glad to hear your work has paid off for you and you have a fine Marlin now.
As for the Widdermatic, those particular mods are similar to what you have done, with one of the exceptions being the Angle/Slant carrier modification.
And the Widdermatic was only recommended for Marlins that had some issues in feeding, especially during fast cycling.
If you will notice my first statement on Marauder's website about the Widdermatic, I state that if a Marlin is running well with no
issues, there is no need for the Widdermatic mod. Many Marlins run well from the factory when Marlin produced them.
Most of the Remington made Marlins were problematic and I'm glad you got your running well. Congratulations.
And thanks for updating us on your success.
If I can ever be of help, feel free to holler.

You're settled in. You're not pushing the envelope. Not a bad strategy at "big matches".
You have to. You have to consciously pull out the stops and tell your self to go wide-ass open. If you don't try to shoot faster you'll never learn to shoot faster.
I agree with SW on this.
Although I ain't a champion shooter, I do know a little about speed shooting.
And unless you push the envelope on your abilities, you'll never find out where those abilities can lead you.
If your practice routines are keeping you riding on the bus to Bucksnort, you're gonna have
to catch a fast train to Yuma to discover your new ventures.
There are too many top shooters in SASS/CAS that give out good, free advice that can help us all.
Find a few of those 'free advisor videos' and see if you can adapt to some of their advice.
Push yourself. Then push yeowndangself a little extra. Just how bad do you really want the Caddy?

All mine are FLAT.
JEDI CREEKER: you oughta be ashamed of yeowndangself for tempting me with that picture of your EDC.
That is a real nice pistol.
All mine are either 5 or 6 inch. My EDC is a 5" in .45, stuck in the small of my back.

Watching a movie, an injured person with a back/neck injury is covered with a blanket
and kept warm. Of course, this is Hollywood.
BUT, when watching a football game (reality), an injured player with a noticeable back/neck injury
is given an ICE pack and kept the injured area cold.
How do we know when to ICE an injury and when to HEAT an injury?

My Little League years were from 62-63 in Knoxville.
There were enough kids (boys) in our neighborhood that we basically supported 3 teams in our
'division'.
I also was a starting catcher. And my batting average was above 400, if I remember correctly.
The wildest pitcher in our league was a left hander and he was on our team. I hated batting practice
when he was pitching cause he was fast and a little wild when he hurled that ball. He was the only
pitcher that gave me the 'hee-bee-gee-bees', if you know what I mean.

Thanks for posting that 'memory', John.
WHEW.....that was when I was young. The 4.70 eventually dropped to 3.82 (sorry, no video).
Then some younger whippersnapper (Scrap P) from New Mexico whooped me like a rented mule
a couple years back at the TN State side match speed SG. He and his brother are fast.....super fast.
I'm 75 now and my desire for speed and the practice to maintain that speed, have dimenished.
I just enjoy shooting now and still having the health and dexterities to still compete a little.
Take care.
