  1. This was made using ½" Schedule 80 PVC (for .38/.357) and wooden dowels. Recently passed it on to a new shooter (I'd never used it).
  2. Shooter should have declared the malfunction and safely grounded the revolver. TO should have waited until the end of the stage to verify the position of the unfired round in the cylinder (SDQ if under the hammer). If the TO had simply advised the shooter to safely stage the revolver instead of reholstering it, THAT would have been considered "proper coaching" to avoid the possibilty of a SDQ = No RESHOOT. Shooter should have appealed the miscall up the chain of command & received a RESHOOT for RO interference: SHB p.20

  4. Many tears ago one of the OR gun clubs had board members that were very hesitant regarding allowing CAS shooting on their range. Particularly the use of loading tables oriented into side berms. I provided copies of the SHB and RO1 course materials to them and attended a board meeting to answer questions emphasizing the many safety protocols that SASS has in place. SASS/CAS has been one of that club's most popular disciplines for many years since. (a number of the original Wild Bunch members have attended annual matches there in the past, including the OR State match at one time).
  5. There are some situations in which leaving an unfired round in a revolver on purpose would be scored as a miss. (e.g. if a shooter miscounts the number of rounds fired and chooses to NOT redraw the revolver and fire it). We're NOT going to list every possible scenario and the applicable assessment of penalties (if any). Individual circumstances will dictate the call.
  6. If the shooter loads a round without ejecting the round that failed to fire, the "dud" round would have been left "on purpose"...not "inadvertently". That is meant to cover unfired rounds in a revolver with a (declared) malfunction. If a revolver has been "overloaded" at the LT, it means that the shooter holstered/changed location with the hammer down on a live/unfired round. The penalty for doing THAT makes any 5-second "miss" penalty irrelevant.
  7. No need to declare a malfunction and ground the revolver if the hammer is down on the last fired round. (but no penalty if you do...and no "miss" for the "unfired round" if it has been replaced). You also have the option to load a 6th round in the empty chamber of the other revolver to compete the sequence. REF: RELOAD CHOICES p.2 The TO should be aware that a 6th round was loaded in the cylinder after the FTF and "go around" in an attempt to fire the "dud" round. The ULTO should be informed and shown the defective round as the shooter clears that revolver at the ULT.
  8. Missed that detail. Left messages with both FE & MVD.
  9. Not aware that he's selling them (saw him a week ago at an RO1 class). Sent email and left voice message (probably get replies in the AM) If he doesn't sell them, I suggest buying direct from SliXprings.
  10. OH NO!! I don't dare mention COTTON to that event organizer...it will probably trigger ancestral flashbacks!!
  11. We're talking about the 1840's here. Try an internet image search for "covered wagons", "covered wagon covers", and...while yer at it..."ship sails". also... Fur Trade tents Canvas teepees The majority of examples I found have been some shade of WHITE/off-white/light tan. BTW...are you aware that, when left outside, fabric will fade/bleach out from exposure to the SUN??
  12. I passed on a suggestion to simply leave the canvas off (bare bows) rather than comply with such a ridiculous demonstration of idiocy.
  13. Did y'all know that using WHITE canvas on covered wagons in a parade celebrating the Oregon Trail migration is RASIZT!! The organizer of the event has ordered that the covers be "colored" (i.e. anything other than WHITE).
