I soooooo want to shoot that match. Fantastic club with a fantastic range. Unfortunately it’s not in the cards this year. Most definitely on the to-do list next year.

Best bet is to call them: 800 784 4331
I was trying to avoid that because I’m shy.😉I talked to a nice young lady there. Four gun carts are going through an upgrade with new features. They should be available within the next 2-3 weeks. Depending on upgrades and packages you choose they’ll start at $929 and go up to $1100+.

Anybody have any connections within Rugged Gear? I wanted to check the latest price for a 4 gun cart but the page says “There are no products to list in this category.”

It’s my understanding that long gun actions must be open when they’re in the gun cart. Where’s that written?
I further understand this requirement is negated by having gun socks over the long guns while they’re in the cart. If this is true, how much of the guns must be covered in order to satisfy the requirement?

Refer to the post from Blackwater and think copycat.
I was just joking. He told me not to do something so I had to do it. 😁-

As a TO I couldn’t possibly care less what the shooter says to indicate they’re ready. I just wish all shooters would say whatever it is LOUD.
As a shooter I quite enjoy ad libbing slight variations to the written line. That being said, by the time I’m ready to shoot I’m so focused on the stage I usually forget the line and just say “Ready”.

But the thing that will help the most right now is to sit down and spend (literally) hours opening and closing the action.
^This X 1,000. It not only helps loosen up the action, it helps strengthen your thumb too.-

Sorry, I can’t offer any suggestions to your original question. But I will offer some advice.
Get someone to videotape you while shooting real stages during a match. Being able to watch yourself during actual match conditions will provide valuable insights into areas in need of improvement.
In particular, pay attention to your transitions from one gun to the next, (I’ve got an entire thread going on this subject.) and also pay attention to your footwork when moving from one shooting position to the next. You want to get to the next shooting position as fast as possible and STAY THERE. Far too often I see people get to a second shooting position and then waste time shuffling their feet to get where they really need to be in order to properly engage the targets. No! When you get there you should start shooting, not dancing.

I’m not going to quote Creeker’s novella, but I will acknowledge our debate concerning pistol to long gun transition.
I’ve actually run drills using different techniques. As always, the truth lies somewhere in the middle. It turns out Creeker was absolutely correct that I’d shoot my second pistol slower as I was bringing the long gun up to my shoulder.
Based on “testing”, my fastest technique is to holster the first pistol and grab the long gun but finish firing the second pistol before bringing that long gun up to my shoulder. I’m gaining time by being able to fire my second pistol at full speed. And I’m not losing any time because the long gun comes up at the same time the second pistol is being holstered.
Thanks Creeker. I owe you a few fractions of a second. 🤠

One of my father’s favorite sayings was, “too soon old, too late smart.” Unfortunately this apple didn’t fall too far from that tree.
I’ve reached the point in my SASS journey where I can fire my guns about as fast as I’ll ever be able to fire them. So, how do I shave extra tenths or thousandths of a second off my stage times? Transitions. That’s a fact that’s been known for about as long as this game has existed.
So, what epiphany finally struck me? It finally hit me exactly what a transition is. I’ve always had it locked in my head that shooting the last round from gun A and grabbing gun B counted as a transition. So that’s exactly what I practiced. Now, based on my amazing realization, I understand I was only practicing about 50% of the transition. A FULL transition includes getting rid of and getting you hand(s) off of gun A and also getting gun B into firing position and breaking the first shot. If you practice anything less than that, you’re not truly practicing transitions.
Now that I understand that, I guess I have to go make it happen. If I keep making these discoveries, I might actually get pretty good at this game.
Thanks, Dad. 😁

Until you can find an antler, another option is to cut most of the handle off of a wooden spoon. You can then use the nub to push your shells into the magazine.

I’ve been using molded for years but they’ve never been comfortable to wear for long periods of time. I recently got these and love them.
