If TWO KD's are placed approx 24-30" apart, edge to edge, Its possible for a top SxS shooter to
fire each barrel and hit the KD's with a split between shots of approx .15 to .17 of a second.
I timed such a champion once during some practice sessions.
As for the 97, its possible to get splits and hit 2 KD's in approx .30-.33 of a second, on a good run.
I've been timed at such. Which puts the SxS twice as fast on splits.
As for the 87, I've seen Slater also get splits in the .30-.33 range.
Sedalia Dave put it in perspective....... its how fast you can load and reload (and sometimes reload again)
that will gain you the most benefit.
A 'Split' is the time between a pair of shots.
A 'Pick Up' is the time going back to the belt for your next pair.
I have witnessed 'Pick Ups' in less than 1 second with some top shooters.
If ya want to gain some speed, practice some good techniques on picking up the SG from the table,
getting the first shell(s) in the SG...... shucking empties and RELOADING for more shots.
All this, of course, is just my opinion and is shared at no cost......:)
Best regards

Nice work Larsen.
Slater has worked on a few Henry's and one of them was the .32
It felt really good. I started to buy it but the 'heft' of it was more than my Marlin .32
and of course, I didn't want to spend money on another rifle.

Creeker does make a valid point.
Basically, I'm really not in either 'camp', so to speak.
I have great memories of friends, but I will admit that watching a close cousin (Army), a Sunday school teacher (Navy) and close friend (Army) suffer for many years and die from Agent Orange diseases and health issues
dimmed a lot of those fond memories.
I guess 'Happy Memorial Day' isn't inappropriate because we also say 'Happy 4th of July' in honor and
memory of those who have given us a reason to celebrate Independence Day!

Henry .22 'Frontier' or high grade. And of course, have Slater modify it with the 'Widder Soft Stroke' and
Slaters trigger job.

Regardless of the method(s) you choose, try to keep your focus on CORRECT type practice.
Dry firing can easily become sloppy and start showing up in competition.
I've dry fired my pistols over a million times each, just for speed practice. I got sloppy enough
to have fast misses.....
Dry firing with my shotgun was much more beneficial.
If you are using a 97, I have 3 videos that could help you in your dry fire practice.
They'll be listed on YouTube under 'Widowmaker Dryfire' practice 1, 2 and 3.
Deuce is a World Class shooter and he also have some excellent videos on multiple firearms and
proper practice info.
And another EXCELLENT group of videos have been produced by World Champ
Dead Eye Dillard. He's a great shooter and makes some real good dry fire videos.
Best regards

Indeed..... RARE. And NIB makes it even MEGA RARE!
Marlin didn't make many of these, somewhere rumored to be 600, maybe a few more.
They can be one of the finest and fastest rifles for SASS and fun to shoot. Just ask Bogus Jim.
I already own 2 of them or else I would highly consider buying. Should sell pretty quick.
Good luck and congratulations to the new owner, who ever they be.

Father Kit Cool,
Good topic and I agree with you.
I have, for MANY years, told folks that it is not a 'Happy Memorial Day' as verbally expressed by many.
But rather an observance to honor those killed in battle or died as a result from injury
in service to our country. And in my opinion, for those who died 20-40 years later from
agent orange health issues from Vietnam or servicing areas.
Like Rye, I rarely say anything but I do remind folks its a day of 'observance' and why we observe.

Remember, TW was in E.TN a couple weeks back when that earthquake occurred.
And, its rumored that his new 'curse elixir' has some powerful consequences when
properly administered. Who will be this years "Jinx" recipient at the TN State?
Will it be Capt BB? Or maybe Sedalia Dave? Or maybe a new name will enter the
'Curse Hall of Fame' whose name will be forever etched in TW's wall of shame.

I can't believe I opened a Thread to read about TW.
And, I can't believe all of us commented about somebody that NOBODY likes...... well, maybe
Capt BB likes him a little just out of kindness in his heart and a little pity.

I have learned a great deal in my internet searches and my time in forums. One does have to be careful with info from the internet. Always double and triple check information. No offense to anyone here but if I learn something anywhere on the internet, including here, I always double and triple check info, especially on reloading and firearms mods.
Did I mention the library? You would be surprised how much info you can find there bSorri Pat, but there ain't any info anywhere but here about the Widdermatic/Widdermajik or
the Henry Soft Stroke.

I love the way you paint a border on all the targets. Sure helps.
But where did you get all that purple paint?

Cool Gun,
You are right.... there is an abundance of very knowledgeable folks on this forum that
are always willing to help.
There are a good handful of folks in which I read their post with great interest.
To ALL of YOU who take the time sharing your knowledge, wisdom and experience....... THANK YOU!

Glad you're coming. I haven't heard much talk about Voo Doo, Hoo Doo or chicken's feet yet this year.

TW swore me to secrecy about his new concoction for this years state match.
All I can say is that I've already witnessed its 'curse potency' when he spilt a couple drops
of 'IT' on my garage floor back in March. Then, all during April and first part of May, I was
battling Pneumonia and such.
I haven't invited him back over since. So folks....... BEWARE! The game is on and TW
has some new stuff.

Here's hoping you have a good recovery and quick healing.
God Bless.

Try these folks..... Brad and Joanne Alpert are great to deal with.....I hope they are still in business, as I haven't ordered recently....
Thanks. I checked out their website and unless I overlooked something, I didn't see what I was
looking for, which is a hard cast, gas check bullet in .45 caliber in weights of 250 up to 325.
These will be shot in my .454 Casull and 460 S&W mag pistols.
I did find them at 'Rim Rock Bullets' and placed my order this evening.
Again, thanks!
Best regards

My previous vendor for hard cast, gas check bullets is closing.....Montana Bullets.
Do some of you have a favorite? THANKS

You circled the man EXACTLY like I see it. And his right eye looks 'oriental' to me.

In watching a WWII movie, it shows that many vehicles, including enemy vehicles, had license plates.
When did ALL the countries in the world decide to identify each vehicle with a license plate?
Or, are there places that don't go to the trouble to have plates?

What kind of a gun would you like to see be a "giveaway" at an event like EoT or other big event?
