[What’s the Call (take 2)]

Are you instituting “failure to engage?”

[What's the call?]

Me??
One “ P”.. for inadvertently hitting a rifle target with a pistol..

one miss .. for failure to engage the already downed rifle target..

[New bullets?]

I’ve been shooting 125 grain TC since starting back in ‘03..

loaded with 3.2 grains of TrailBoss in pistols 

and 3.6 grains of TrailBoss in rifle..

I have never had a knock down failure with either..

Justsayin’..

[How to store shotgun ?]

I have been shooting my double trigger Stoeger since 2003..

When I am done shooting a match.. I go to my stagecoach..

Close my Stoeger.. pull both triggers and put it in the case..

No muss.. no fuss.. no worry..

Just sayin..

[Answer question]

Reckon I gotta say the T.O. Was wrong in his call..

[Costume question (Let's beat this horse some more)]

It’s Mongo 

Don’t see anything wrong with it except he ain’t got no guns

[Short Stroke Kit]

In my younger years I posted some of my best times 

with Cowboy and Indian’s 3rd. Generation..

I thought I need to get faster.. I need the PGW Super Short Stroke..

It never performed ( by me) any better

The CI 3rd. Gen was easier to operate and just as fast (for me)

Just sayin’

[WTC]

Kinda sounds like a gamer gone wrong

Atta boy Matthew fer Gavin’ it a try anyway

[Rossi or Stoeger SxS]

I’ve been shooting a Stoeger Coach gun fer 20 years..

My wife Lacey has one too.. 

They are both double triggers..

and I also have replaced the firing pins..

never had a misfire with them but was just upgrading instead of worrying..

My recommendation.. Stoeger..

[What's your call]

Reading the original scenario..

They should have both (A&B) received a Spirit of the Game penalty..

Shooter A admitted to what he had done..

Shooter B explained that on a previous match he lost count and the TO said it didn’t matter at that point.. he already had a P.. so he jut dumped it..

That can now be his excuse forever?? 
He should of found out the correct way to handle a brain fade by his next match..

Just my thinkin’

[who shoots old model vaqueros]

I have been shootin’ my old models since I started in ‘03.. 

357cal. models but all they’ve ever seen were 38’s..

Rance:

  Two listings above you will find the directions to get to the member list.

  Obviously it works best if you know the members name or at least a part of it, in order to narrow down the search.

  Hope it helps in the future, should you need it.

 

Thanks Kit..

I also found I can just type their Alias in the little envelope window thingy 

after you click on it.. Kinda does an auto fill (elimination) as you type in alias..

 

Thanks,

Rance

Personal messages to other cowpokes..

Old wire.. I did it quite regularly.. Never seemed to have any problems..

New wire.. I get notifications of "likes" on my posts..

                  I get notifications of "someone quoted you"

but I'm having a hard time messaging another wire contributor..

Finding them, if they haven't posted for a while..

(is there an easier way to find a fellow cowpoke?)

I have tried putting "members list" in search window to no avail..

But then, after fiinally finding one of their posts..

Going to their letter icon... Posting a message..

I have never got a notification that he responded..

 

Rance 

thinkin frustration..

 

Let me know if you got a notification that I replied to your message it should show in the letter icon and an email, unless that is turned off.

 

Got it!! Thanks..

My email notifications are shut off but I got the little icon in the top 

right hand corner..

 

By the way ... In searching for members..

I found out in messaging that when you click on the little

envelope to private message.. 

A blank window shows up to receive the message..

As you type in their alias.. It goes through (alphabetically) 

all the members eliminating them as you type their alias.. NEAT!!

 

Rance 

Thinkin Thanks!!

[Random amazement]

I know exactly what you mean, Yusta. Most of the people I consider true friends I would not recognize in "civilian" clothes or without a cowboy hat

Or know their fer real name...

[Holster features advice]

Didn't mean to make a secret of it or anything, and hopefully not violating any rules re advertising (apologies if that's the case), but these are made by Dan Parmenter in Indiana, his web site has lots of photos: Murphy Custom Gunleather . Dan has been great on the phone and in emails back and forth, and I'm looking forward to shooting this season with his holsters.

 

Thought they looked familiar..

Dan made my second set..

He pays attention to what a shooter needs..

 

He had me try on a lot of different holsters..

He asked me a lot of questions and showed me the features of different models he makes..

He finally said here try these.. They were his own personal set..

I tried 'em.. Liked 'em.. Had him make a set like his for me..

 

Rance

Thinkin he's hard to beat.

[Holster features advice]

Rusty..

In yer last post you mentioned taking your holsters off between stages..

A lot of folks take their guns out only.. between stages and place them in their gun carts..

They usually leave their holsters on..

It lightens the load a lot when doing posse duty..

 

On my second set.. I did not want bullet loops around the back..

If they ain't filled with bullets they don't look quite right..

And.. If they are full of bullets they look good.. But Again.. Packing around a lot of extra weight ..

A couple of well placed cartridge loops for a fast reload (like replacing a jacked out rifle round) might be handy..

I reload jacked out rounds off my shotgun belt..

 

The suede on the inside keeps you guns where you want them..

They won't ride up or down with fast running movement

 

Rance;)

Thinkin that's about all else I can think of..

[Holster features advice]

I started SASS shooting with a set like the first picture...

After a few years.. Found the disadvantages with the first picture set.

I now have the second picture set.. Bettererer....

Ya might make sure the area of the belt in front is wide enough to supporters the holsters..

My first set I could not move the holsters to the front as much as I would have liked them

because the tapering of the belt around buckle area..

 

Rance

Thinkin ya done good by askin'.

[Gunsmoke favorite episode?]

Don't know the name of the episode but...

 

It's the one where Matt sends Festus out to arrest this young man..

The young man is married with a new baby..

The young man has the drop on Festus with a rifle but gives himself up..

Then the young man's wife gets the drop on Festus but her husband talks her into giving up..

The baby is crying from the house and Festus kinda tells them they need to get out of Kansas..

 

Matt rides up.. and asks Festus "You couldn't find them ?"

Festus.. "No I never could catch them Mathew.."

In the background you see the young couple riding off with their newborn baby in a buckboard..

Matt says something like " Kinda figured that.. Let's head back to Dodge.."

[Timers?]

i purchased the Competition Pro.. The gray one.. It might be the pocket Pro 2??

It's not in front of me so can't quite remember the total name..

 

It will time a stage..

If you want to take off the last shot.. (Maybe error was made on the stage)

You can see the last shot and every shot.. If you position the timer correctly..

It will show split times on a string of shots..

 

It has "Par timing " for dry fire practice..

Me?? Myself?? I like the buzzer to go off on " button push" instead of "button release"..

 

 

Rance

Thinkin everybody has their favorite features..

[Rifle Action work]

Yer Rossi?? Yes... Nate Kiowa comes to mind..

Yer Henry?? I'm thinkin kinda unlikely..

 

Rance

Thinkin that's about the most I know on the yer subject..

[Derringer question]

I would say get a Bond for competition... But they are More expensive..

For concealed carry.. Cobra maybe..

 

I have 2 Cobra's in 38 special..

For competition.. They won't hold up..

They do have a lifetime guarantee and they will fix them free..

But.. I had to pay postage and FFL fee's..

 

I still have the Cobras but.. I bought a Bond for competition.. Again 38 special..

 

Rance

Thinkin by the many times ya pay for postage and inconvenience...

Get a Bond..

[What primers]

They are brass colored.

Thinkin' they are probably Winchesters...
