anybody use Shotgun Boogie SS kits
Randy Saint Eagle, SASS # 64903 replied to Irish Pat's topic in SASS Wire
I’m shooting Bisley Vaqueros with Boogie’s short strokes and they are the smoothest of any I’ve shot. So far they have set off every brand I’d primer I’ve tried. Randy -
Cataracts surgery update
Randy Saint Eagle, SASS # 64903 replied to Hells Comin's topic in SASS Wire
Glad it went well!🤠 -
Senior gunfighter and senior duelist are not age/based categories. They are shooting style categories with an age restriction. Adjustable sight revolvers are not allowed. I don’t remember what year it changed but senior duelist used to allow adjustable sight revolvers. I had a pair of Blackhawks I had intended to get short stroked to used in Senior Duelist but the rule changed before I turned 60. Randy

I’ll try to attach a video of shooting them, 3 pistol and 3 rifle, double tap Nevada Sweep, 4 SG targets. It was done with my phone so I could not get a view of everything and there’s a lot of dead time. Randy IMG_3888.mov

I found a picture of some of them, you can see the targets on the ground I took down to hang them. Randy

I have bought some from Dragon Targets and I'm happy with them. They constantly have something on sale and ship free on over $100 purchase. Last year around Thanksgiving I bought some approximately 8"x8", 3/8" AR500 pumpkin shaped targets (aim small, miss small) to practice with. You don't need a severe angle on the targets. https://dragontargets.com/sale/ Randy

Hodgdon Perfect Pattern powder
Randy Saint Eagle, SASS # 64903 replied to runs with scissors's topic in SASS Wire
I use the next smaller wad, 3/4oz wad for a 7/8oz load, 7/8oz wad for a 1oz load and a 1oz wad for a 1 1/8oz load. It has worked well for me. Randy -
Unfortunately that happens to most of us sometimes! Randy

Front sight should be your throttle limiter, don’t pull the trigger until you see the front sight on target just don’t worry about the center of the target. The club paid for the entire target so it’s ok to use any part of it!😂🤠 Randy

Be careful with with too much dry fire practice, I never missed a target while dry firing!😂🤠 Randy

There have been a lot of good points brought up. Any time I practice the first thing I do is shoot a stage before I do anything else. The reason being is that any time you go to a match you shoot a stage cold. I’ve gone to several matches and the first stage ended up being my best stage. If I have to move after shooting pistols I holster both while I’m moving to the next position. Unlike some I always look my pistols into the holsters, it’s probably slower but I’m not comfortable holstering without looking. As mentioned earlier transitions are everything, learn to do them well. Once you get the fundamentals down don’t be afraid to miss in practice. I shot for several years slow and deliberate before I finally realized that you can’t learn to shoot fast by practicing slow. Now I try to practice on the ragged edge and try to back off just a little in matches. Smooth is fast! Duelist is definitely Coolest! Randy

Red Dot 12 gauge Cowboy loads
Randy Saint Eagle, SASS # 64903 replied to Tall John's topic in SASS Wire
When I was using Red Dot I used a #27 Mec Bushing and if I remember correctly it weighed about 14.5gr. I used the same powder charge with 7/8, 1 and 1 1/8 loads. Randy -
Question on Stoeger stocks, 20 ga vs 12 ga
Randy Saint Eagle, SASS # 64903 replied to Flaco Joe's topic in SASS Wire
The Condor is an Over/Under not a Side by Side so those stocks would not be interchangeable, not sure about the 20/12? Randy -
327/32 H&R rifles

For something other than "Hen's Teeth" it's hard to beat a .38 Special Widdermatic Marlin for B-Western. Randy
