I thought the Duelist just meant you shot with one hand. So you could draw your right gun and shoot it till it's empty and then holster it, and then draw your left gun and pass it over to your right hand and shoot it empty, then give it back to your left hand and reholster it. Duelist But double duelist, again I thought, we should shoot the right gun with your right hand and then you holster it and draw your left gun and shoot it with your left hand. But I thought the only category you were allowed to have two pistols out at the same time was gunfighter.

I remember being at a monthly match up in Georgia one time, when after I finish shooting my first stage this guy comes up to me and tells me that if I learned to reload I can make the ammunition a whole lot lower powered so I could shoot faster and maybe have better times. This is just a guess based on how young he looked, but I've been reloading longer than he had been alive. I always followed Venturino's comment: the timer operator says STAND BY, and then the timer BEEP!, and just then a war party of screaming Comanches comes galloping over the berm. Would you be happy with the ammunition you have in your guns? I would be. I am aware that this is a game of speed, and the wimpier you load your ammo the faster you can get back on target so the quicker you can finish. And I don't care. I don't load wimpy ammo. All my ammunition is full power. 158 grain 38s at 900, 210 grain 44 Russians at 800, 210 grain 44 Winchesters at 1100, 255 grain 45 Colts at 900.

I don't think so. I don't shoot it, but I think gunfighter has both guns out, but you alternate them - shoot left gun, shoot right gun, shoot left gun, shoot right gun, etc. What I was describing was shoot the right gun until it's empty and then start shooting the left gun. I was thinking double duelist, but I believe double duelist you can only have one gun out at the time, so that would basically be a New York reload - shoot the right gun empty, holster it and draw the left gun.

That would be a gun in both hands, wouldn't it? New York reload is when I shoot my gun empty and stash it away and pull my spare gun. Already having my spare gun out when my first gun runs dry seems like it would be a little quicker. A step up.

The first one - the whistle "Many backpacks have hidden whistles built into the strap" HIDDEN whistles. Now if they put the whistle into the buckle as an emergency thing so you can call for help --- why in the hell would they hide it? Why wouldn't they put a big notice on the backpack - EMERGENCY WHISTLE BUILT INTO STRAP BUCKLE I have never seen a backpack buckle with a whistle built into it, but if such a thing exists, not telling people about it is really really dumb.
