    Danny Thomas show. Mama, Daddy, two kids. When the show finished the boy was 17, and could not get another job. Tried several things, but they were all unsuccessful.

     

    "In January 1990, at the age of forty-two, he killed himself with a blast from a .357 magnum shotgun."

     

    That "357 Magnum shotgun" threw me. But I wonder if he used a shotgun with a 357 conversion chamber? If that were so, he wouldn't have shot himself with a 357 revolver or even with a 357 rifle. It would have been a 357 shotgun.

    Death[edit]

    On the night of January 18, 1990, John Hamer found his brother's body in his trailer home in DeRidder, Louisiana. Hamer had shot himself in the head with a .357 Magnum revolver.[26]

    Half a Hand Henri had shoes on at this years EOT, I’d never seen her wear shoes to a match before. I asked why she was wearing them and I believe it was a category requirement, I can’t remember.

     

    She was 1st place "Classic Cowgirl"...a category that requires "period lace up shoes" or boots. (REF: SHB p.8)

    I think it's great costuming. All I need is an official ruling so I can cut the sleeves off a couple of my shirts for summer shooting. Just don't expect me to stand next to Mongo though. It would be like the before and after pic for a gym ad. Lol

     

    FYI...The "official ruling" was made in 2012 by applying THIS definition:

    Quote

    VEST, n.
    1. A sleeveless garment, often having buttons down the front, worn usually over a shirt or blouse and sometimes as part of a three-piece suit.
    2. A waist-length, sleeveless garment worn for protection: a warm down vest; a bulletproof vest.

    It is also acceptable for a shooter to replace defective (bad primer?) rounds in a cartridge revolver in order to successfully complete a stage. Even if a revolver has a “squib” (effectively putting that firearm out of commission), the shooter MAY reload the functioning revolver to finish the shooting string after making the malfunctioning firearm safe.

  7. A bit of history regarding the allowance to use 28 gauge shotguns:


    In 2006, a proposal was made to allow .410 and 28 gauge shotguns for Senior and Elder Statesman categories:

    Quote

    "These following items were discussed at Regional and state Territorial Governor Meetings and were found to have no merit, therefore they will not appear on the TG Summit Agenda and will not be voted on:
    ...

    • Should we allow the use of .410 caliber or 28-gauge shotgun in the Senior or Elder Statesman Categories?

    TG SUMMIT 2006 TERRITORIAL GOVERNORS MEETING AGENDA

     

    In 2016 a rule change was passed by the Territorial Governors allowing 28 & 32 gauge shotguns for the Buckaroo/ette categories.

     

    One of the primary considerations brought up in the 2016 discussions was that:

    Quote

    Buckaroo/Buckarette competitors must use revolvers, rifles, and shotguns meeting the external standards but may be chambered in .22 LR for revolvers and rifles and .410 caliber, 28 ,or 32 gauge shotguns
    o Standard velocity ammunition for these firearms must be used. 
    o Knockdown targets are not required to fall for Buckaroo category shooters. 
    A hit will be scored as long as the target is clearly hit.

    SHB p.5
