    I guess in every other sport the referee would get a lot of laughter if (s)he'd ask players who commited unsportslike behaviour if they've done it willfully or not and if they would prefer to get away with it.

     

    In the scenario above, shooter A probably just wasn't aware that his answer will get him an SOG. So, next time shooter A's answer might also be "oh..., just brain fade, completely lost track".

     

    A lot of rules in every rule book are originated by just a few participants who want to outsmart the game. Offering loopholes to those black sheep (such as inluding intent) doesn't help the game.

     

    If shooter 'A' has repeated events, would it not be viewed as 'intentional' to gain advantages?

     

    ALSO..... if shooter 'B' were to have repeated events and keep using the same reasoning, could it not be viewed as 'intentional' and warrant

    the SOG penalty?

     

    Using the 'Brain Fade' reasoning might work once..... but not multiple times.

  2. PWB beat me to it.

     

    Shooter 'A', based on their answer to the TO (indicating reason) earns the 'P' and SOG penalty.

     

    Shoot 'B', based on their answer to the TO (indicating reason) only earns the 'P'.

     

    My opinion, ya can't justify a 'blanket call'.  The key word in the rule is "Willfully.......".

  3. I turn 73 in March.   I no longer really care about being in the Senior or Elder Statesman Gunfighter category.

     

    Soooooo, if it ain't wrong, I think this year, even in the State and Regional matches, I'll just shoot in the plain ole 'Gunfighter'

    category.    Just gonna shoot, relax and have fun...... and not think of any buckle or plaque.

     

    I hope I ain't accused of being a 'Cherry Pick'r.    :lol:

  4. As has been mentioned.... watch out for getting into bad habits.

     

    As a new shooter, a lot of dry fire practice can induce some bad habits and hard to overcome.   And as mentioned above,

    get a good shooter to help ya out, critique you, etc...

     

    I also have a 'dry fire practice room' in my basement, BUT...... I only set it up after a few years of actual shooting to help me 

    overcome my shortfalls.   I learned about those shortfalls in actual match situations.

     

    Good luck.

     

    P.S. - if you use a 97, I'll post some practice videos for you to check out that might help with the 97 functions.

    There are also some good SxS and 87 practice techniques on YouTube that are helpful.

  5. You ask specifically about 'carbon buildup'.

    Well.... I dont know about that, BUT..... I also think Remington stuff seems to collect some sticky, waxy residue inside my 

    .22 actions, especially in the summer time.

     

    Some of the 'cleanest' .22 ammo I have used in the past few years is CCI, Federal and Mag Tech.   Mag Tech is surprisingly

    clean and reliable considering its cost.

    Nearly all types of CCI and Federal .22 ammo give me good results in cleanliness, reliability and accuracy with their 

    specific grades.

  6. TW will often carry his AR on the front seat of his truck.

     

    A couple years back, one of those LOUD MOUTH groups wanted to block a small bridge that was used for his 

    daily travels.   TW stopped and kindly conversed with one of their organizers and as it were, that organizer

    was able to see the AR lying on the seat.

    TW explained that he needed to cross the bridge, plain and simple.

     

    The protesting group quietly moved away from blocking his truck and allowed him to move on without

    further delays.

     

    I figured that organizer was an NRA member..... :D

  7. As Lumpy stated, the .454 Casull brass uses small primers.   I often use Small Rifle in my reloads.

     

    AND, there is also a fair amount of .45 ACP brass that uses Small primers.

     

    BUT..... I don't think I've seen nor heard of any .45 Colt brass that uses Small primers.   But I wouldn't be surprised.

    After all, there is some .45 Colt brass that uses Shotgun primers

    NOT HARDLY!!  TW don’t drive so good!  He’s always lookin’ fer some new ice cream parlor an’ don’t watch the road so good!!

     

    So true.

     

    AND..... the worse place to be is between TW and a place that sells 'Double Malted Chocolate Milk Shakes'.    Seriously.

    Don't interfere with his travels to those places.

    Just last week, me, Blackwater and Randy St. Eagle jumped TW and tied his hands behind his back.  THEN we sat one of them

    Double Malted shakes on top of his head and the poor soul bout slapped his brains out with his tongue trying to get to it.

     

    Ole TW carries extra strength, reenforce straws in his truck just for those shakes.

     

    Like I've said before, a feller just can't make this stuff up.

    Widder  I been staying sober for almost 30 years...It aint helped with this crowd.

    Howdy Imis.

    There's a difference between our association with TW.      You shoot WITH him.   I shoot AT him.   :lol:

    He's a hard target cause he never stops nor slows down.   His truck is made with 500AR steel doors and

    he's the only feller in America with 'BULL PROOF' glass all around him.   :P

    Oh good! Was afraid they might be out drinking Bud Light and styling each other's man buns.

     

    Wonder how long it will take them to find this thread...

     

    No Bud for me.   I'm a Pepsi man, sometimes Mtn Dew or Coke, Dr.Pepper.

    Gotta stay sober to keep up with this crowd.

  11. TW has been avoiding all us 'little people'...... those who ain't a 'black pin'.

    He's been kinda 'uppity' since he got his Black Pin.  Says they'll be paying him MORE than PWB

    in 2024.

     

    He told me ifn he gets any smarter about the rules and regs,  he's gonna

    request a 'Red Pin' and ask for 'CZAR' status in SASS.   The TN State may have a 'CZAR DUELIST' category this year, just for TW.

     

    Hey, ya just can't make this stuff up.

  12. Ah yea..... The Cowboy name TN Williams.

     

    The best friend a feller could never have.

     

    Rumor has it that ole TW has been busy hunting Snow Snakes around middle TN the past couple weeks.  

    One of them bit him on the back side and nearly froze his ^$$ off.

     

    He told me that he's been cleaning up his 'gun room/man cave' the past couple weeks, finding stuff he thought was lost

    long ago.    His wife told me that she hopes he finds his conscience and integrity.   :lol:

    He apparently lost em both long ago.

     

    There is a faint rumor in Murfreesboro that TW is gonna invest in the Kentucky Jelly business.  Some folks refer to this

    as KY Jelly... :lol:

     

    I shouldn't tell this, BUT........ Blackwater is sorta kin to TW

  13. Reminds me of a ZULA warriors 'battle baton'.   I think they were used to beat the end on the ground for a THUMP noise which

    was their device of communications with other groups.   When thousands of Warriors pounded the ground with these 'batons',

    the sound was nerve wrecking to their enemies.

     

    If I'm wrong..... atleast my story sounds good.  :D

  14. I figure the 125 grain or 135 grain 'Barnstormer' bullet would be about the lightest in .45 caliber.

    If anything lighter than those, then it would be your lightest load.

  15. O.K, Saloonaholics,  if anyone should know about good Popcorn, I figured you fellers would.

     

    Ole 'Orville' makes some good stuff, but I don't want to buy every brand to find the best.  But

    I know some of you would have a good favorite microwavable popcorn.

     

    Thank you kindly.

     

    P.S. - being stuck inside during these snowy days in E. Tennessee, popcorn can become a favorite snack.

  16. Randy,

    I'll tell you what appears to me in that video.   TN Williams stuck his big boot out and tripped ya on purpose.

     

    That's why he wears those big boots.   They're about 2 sizes bigger than his feet.

    :lol:

  17. For many Marlin owners, the 'JM' marking means its an original Marlin.     Supposedly, none of the Remington produced

    'Marlins' ever had that marking.

     

    I have seen original Marlins without such a marking.

  18. Its my understanding that a MDQ on side match day is ONLY for that day, but the MDQ is not carried over to the main match, assuming

    this is approved by the Match Director/club.

     

    BUT..... a MDQ on the 1st day of a multiple day match IS for the complete match.

     

    Is my understanding correct?
