Randy Saint Eagle, SASS # 64903

I personally like Ruger Bisleys because I have fairly large hands. I have a pair of Pietta El Malo’s that are the smoothest I’ve ever seen right out of the box. If you can come down to Wartrace on May 30th for the side match day of the Tennessee State Championship you can see a lot of guns and most folks, like Lucky Lead Pepper said, will be happy to let you try some out. If you come by the Dance Hall you can try out the Cut the Rope target.. Randy This is a Ruger Vaquero with a 125gr. .38 special

Hope his recovery goes well. Randy

Hope you shoot well at Kentucky State.

State Match Application (wartraceregulators.com) It will be worth the price just to watch Widder go up against some top '97 shooters in the shotgun side match! Hope to see you at the match. Randy

I mostly agree except practice fast, you’ll never know your speed limit until you exceed it. Randy

It shot well. Randy

Our State match doesn’t start until May 30 but we sold 3 at our monthly match last Saturday, very nice product. Randy

I’m old and arthritic and short stroked Bisleys helped me considerably. Randy Sometimes it work out pretty well.

I think the instructions as written are fine, I may be different but as a double duelist I'd shoot it 3-4-4-5-5-1-1-2-2-3, shooting my right pistol first. Randy

Thanks, it makes more sense now, unfortunately now it’s stuck In my head! Randy

Why, especially if it’s just a split location with no gun in between? Randy

I don’t shoot Gunfighter but have a friend who does and alternately cocks. When shooting a split pistol stage he starts his count with 6 because he never cooks after the 9th shot. Essentially he counts 6, 7, 8, 9, don’t cock, 10. When he starts the second group of the split pistol he again starts his count at 6. I hope. That make sense? Randy

Sure is going to be hard to write all this on my phone screen!

You might be able to use a fine point grease pencil and write on your phone screen!

No Shooters Books??? Randy

We have two local recyclers that will take brass but neither will take spent primers. Randy

I should have started with this, if the force required to cock the hammer feels ok and the trigger pull doesn’t feel too heavy I would only buy the extra power base pin spring. Randy

It would depend on what trigger pull you want? I shoot duelist and like a little heavier trigger pull than when I shot 2-handed. I would get the 40/17 (I shoot Federal primers), if I was shooting 2-handed I would get the 30/17. Randy

I may be wrong but the only difference in those 2 kits is the trigger return spring which will make no difference in the hammer force. Randy

You may have done this but I always had better luck loosening the main spring screw, tightening down the tension screw some and then tighten back the main spring screw. Randy

Hope it all goes well and he has a great recovery! Randy

Great, hope his recovery is going well? Randy
