Wartrace Cowboy/ Wild Bunch Match this Saturday. Our Mid-Month Match will be this Saturday, registration 8:30, Safety Meeting 9:30 and shooting as soon as possible afterwards. Cowboys will be shooting stages 11-15 and Wild Bunch will be shooting stages 1-5. $15 members and $20 non-members. The weather looks to be a little cool but dry so come on out and get in a little practice for the Tennessee State Championship, coming up soon! Here's the email from Whiskey Hayes. Cowgirls, Cowboys and Wild Bunchers Load up the chuck wagon with plenty of ammo, guns and grub. Wartrace is shooting this Saturday April 20th. Come on and join the fun. No penalty for giggling at those new modern type fire arms that will never catch on. Whiskey

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

As of April 2nd we are up to 163 Shooters and still have plenty of room! Thanks Randy

Wartrace Regulators are shooting this Saturday 4/6/24. Registration 8:30, Safety Meeting 9:30 and shooting shortly thereafter. Entry $15 for members and $20 for non-members. Tennessee Williams has stages 11-15 set up for our shooting pleasure. It will be cool in the morning but should be a nice day. Here's the email I got from Whiskey Hayes. Howdy Cowgirls and Cowboys Clean your guns, find some ammo Wartrace is shooting Saturday April 6th. Going to be cool in the morning Ole Paint might be a tad frisky. Whiskey

We use 3’ of 5/16” chain attached to the target and inexpensive rope from Harbor Freight. 3’ doesn’t make the our targets hard to go down in fact I think it helps them fall. Randy

They look just like the picture in the link. https://www.academy.com/p/yildiz-12-gauge-side-by-side-shotgun-105280002 Randy

Papa Dave used to slick up and sell the Yildiz, they are the nicest looking internally of any modest priced shotguns I’ve seen. Everyone I’ve seen would shuck STS and AA hulls right out of the box. Like everything else they are very oversprung. They have a long reset on the trigger so they are hard to shoot if you’re used to an SKB. I think a good gunsmith could make a very nice starter shotgun out of one. https://www.academy.com/p/yildiz-12-gauge-side-by-side-shotgun-105280002 Randy

Great!

If you don’t find a Stoeger you might look at one of these. https://www.academy.com/p/yildiz-410-side-by-side-break-open-shotgun Randy

Someone lost a Page Custom Screwknife at the range a few years ago and it has not been claimed. It has a serial number and I contacted Larry put he didn’t have a record of who had bought it. If you lost a screwknife at Wartrace and can describe it, we will get it to you. Thanks Randy

I had to show this Video of a good TO, Lucky Lead Pepper, helping Deadwood Miner through a stage! By the way Deadwood was 93 when this video was made, he’s 94 now and shot this month at Wartrace, he’s my hero!! Randy

I can’t remember either but I do remember the Cowboys beat the Wild Bunch!! Randy
