When they decide to cancel the match, otherwise l plan to go. Randy

You may eventually have a problem with the firing pins sticking in the spent primers. As mentioned earlier, practicing with weighted dummy rounds can develop bad habits (getting very lazy with your shuck). As far as practicing loading with light shells, once the timer goes off, you'll never notice the difference. I always make my dummy rounds out of grey AA hulls because I never load or have any live grey AA shells in the house. I know a fellow who made his dummy's out of red Featherlight hulls and thought he could always keep them separate from his live Featherlight shells. That worked fine, until he shot through the bathroom wall while practicing. Randy

I bought my ticket, but apparently, I didn't win. Randy

A friend of mine made this for me several years ago to display name badges. Buckles are on a library table, in a lawyers bookcase and a few on belts.

Make some dummy rounds with RTV in the primer pockets instead of spent primers and that should solve your problems. I assume it doesn’t do that during live fire? Randy

Thanks, I added you to the list! 🤠 Randy

This year at the Tennessee State Championship we had 230 shooters from 22 states. Randy

Wartrace Regulators September Work Shirkers Match will be this Thursday Sept. 10. If you would like to shoot with us, please email me at rws2700@comcast.net with your Alias and category. This will let me be able to get the match set up early. I'll start collecting the money, $15 for members and $20 for non-members, at 8:30, Safety Meeting at 9:30 and start shooting shortly afterwards. We will be shooting stages 6-10. Right now, Thursday's forecast for Wartrace is for a high of 83° with a 25% chance of rain starting at 2pm. You might need to bring a jacket, that's almost 20° cooler than Saturday's match was! It would still be a good idea to hydrate early, we may still have humidity! We are having a Cowboy Match a week leading up to the Southeast Regional. The 10th and the 19th then the Regional 24th-26th. I'm attaching the stages for the match. Hope to see you there. Thanks Randy Work Shirker's September 2026.pdf

I have a couple of these kits as well as some of the smaller ones and I really like them. WHEELER 89 Piece Professional Gunsmithing Screwdriver Set I have occasionally bent a tip but I've also occasionally broken a Brownell's tip and those sets are quite a bit more expensive. Randy

Thanks, it was a bit over 18 seconds, the fumbled second shotgun load cost me some. As others have said, video is a great tool. When I first started looking at videos of my runs, I frequently thought "why did I do that"? Randy

My thumb speed is not as fast as Doc’s but this shows that I slide off the hammer and Immediately come back up to re-cock. This was last Saturday, double tap Nevada Sweep on 3 targets. Thanks Randy IMG_6353.mov

Shotgun Boogie, lists his in metric. Randy

There has been some good advice given but I'd like to comment on a couple of things. Dry firing is great, to a point but you have to be honest while you're doing it. I've never missed a target while dry firing but that can change when you go to live fire. On Doc's video you can slow it down and watch it at half speed or slower and get a good view of what he is doing. He's sliding his thumb off the side of the hammer and getting it out of the way. It was suggested keeping your thumbs on top of the hammers and riding them so that you are ready to cock as soon as the hammer strikes. In my opinion that is a bad idea, eventually you'll interfere enough to slow the hammer fall and have a failure to fire causing you to have to go around again. I'm old and arthritic and the best thing I ever did was go to really good short-stroked revolvers. JMHO Good Luck! Randy

I have an 18.5" half round and I'm pretty sure I went with the 13mm, was told 11mm for full octogan? Randy

I can attest to the fact that Doc is a great competitor, the fastest single duelist shooter I have ever seen, and he is extremely hard to beat! 🤠. Randy
