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

https://www.outlawbullets.com/ This should work 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

I think someone will get a 3.99 this year, it will probably be you!! Randy

You are right Slater can really make that ‘87 sing!! I expect we’ll have some mighty fast double shooters as well!! Randy

That is correct, my main pistols are Bisley’s with Super Blackhawk style hammers and I actually like them better. Thinking about changing the hammers in my backup Bisley’s as well. Randy

Great, it will be good to see you! Randy

A Super Blackhawk hammer would be a much easier install. Randy

As of yesterday, 3/23/24, we have 149 signed up from 17 States in 40 Categories. We still have plenty of room if you want to come and shoot with us. According to Widder it will be worth coming just the see the Speed ‘97 Shotgun Side Match. May 30-June 1. https://www.wartraceregulators.com/2024State/application.pdf Hope to see there! Randy

So far I’ve had 12 Cowboys and Cowgirl contact me that are planning to be there so we should have a good turnout. Randy

1st Place in Category, Slater is making the Category State Champion buckles. Randy

Yes, the buckles are for 1st in Category. Slater is doing the State Champion buckles. Randy

The Molly's Buckles have been ordered for all the Categories we have so far. I can't get a picture of what the buckles will actually look like until they are mad but here is a picture of the buckle we started with. Here's a computer proof that shows the design we are using.

I’ll put you on the list! Thanks Randy

Work Shirkers Match this Thursday 3/21/24. The weather forecast is looking good so we will have our Work Shirkers Match. If you plan to shoot with us please email me at rws2700@comcast.net and give me your alias and what Category you are shooting, this helps me to be able to set up the match early and start on time. Please check in when you get to the range! Fees are the same $15 for members and $20 for non-members. I'll start collecting the money at 8:30, Safety Meeting at 9:30 or sooner if everyone who has let me know they are coming checks in, Shooting shortly thereafter. We will be welcoming English Tom back home after his vacation to Japan. Hope to see you Thursday Randy

Is there a way to see the scores without signing up for the Action Shooting Network? Thanks Randy

If you’re going to shoot Duelist, you may want them short-stroked. I would recommend you check in your area and see if anyone has some you could try out and preferably done by different gunsmiths. I have some done by Shotgun Boogie, Three Cut, Outlaw Grips and Boomstick Jay. Currently the ones by Shotgun Boogie are my main guns! Try before you buy if at all possible. If you’re close to Tennessee I’ll let you try them and see what you think. Randy
