Yes you pull the rope which releases the mine cart. The scenario is you jump in the cart and shoot the stage as it moves down range.
Oh I forgot it's 10-10 +6
Has anybody told you you're evil?

I haven't heard anything about it but I'd sure understand it. Imagine all the extra labor required having to do everything upside down.

Here's a thought out of left field. Eliminate the Spirit of the Game penalty but bump the procedural penalty up to 20 seconds. By doing that you allow the shooter to dump any remaining rounds on a single target without having to be the Amazing Kreskin to figure out why they did it. But at the same time, there's no way they can outshoot the penalty.

In the scenario written above, I would say shooter A has a P and a SOG. Shooter B did not try to gain a competitive advantage, they just didn't know what to do. They get a P and a little discussion about how they should do it differently in the future.
For my own education as a TO, how should the do it differently in the future?

I've had the levers bent on both of my SKBs. In addition to reducing the distance your thumb has to travel to get to the lever, this mod also puts your thumb into a mechanically stronger position to open the lever.

One of the best improvements I have made in reloading straight case ammo is wet tumbling. Resize and deprime with a carbide die, bell the case and into the wet tumbler it goes. I use stainless pins and a little dish washer soap and in about two hours the cases are spotless inside and out. All the muck goes down the drain and there is no dust. Dry the batch of cases on paper towels over night. I do look in every case after they are dry for stray pins and that is a great time to look for cracked or split cases also.
That seems backwards. Isn't most of the reason for cleaning the cases to prevent damage to your dies?

For me personally, one of the gremlins that seems to bite me more often in a match is reholstering my pistols SMOOTHLY
and quickly.
You sure nailed that. As a Double Duelist I SHOULD be able to reholster the first pistol and be grabbing my next gun while shooting the second pistol. Far too often I mess up the first step, reholstering the first pistol.

As Widder said, "best bang for the buck" is in transitions. All of them, ever conceivable combination.
Oh yeah, more than once.
Only two months late? Dang, I'm doing better than I thought.

With EOT only a few short weeks away I figure it's about time to start getting ready.
What are your most effective practice techniques? When I say effective I mean, what actually leads to noticeably improved performance in a match?
I've seen a lot of folks say their monthly matches are their practice. I can see how that would improve performance under match conditions.
Other folks say they break down every movement they make and practice each one individually either during dry fire sessions at home or live fire sessions at the range.
Something in between? What works for you?

I’m considering changing out the barrel on a NMV Bisley 45Colt from the stock 5 1/2 round to 7 1/2 octagon, but I haven’t seen on the wire where this has been done.
i’ve seen a few pistols with the octagon barrel at 5” or shorter but haven’t seen longer barrels in octagon. Other than cost, any other considerations I should be made aware of? I think the 1851 pistol is a real beauty and that’s my inspiration for the Ruger, but on a Bisley frame.
Maybe for Rugers 7.5 only makes sense in the lighter round barrel?
if anyone has had this done, I’d much appreciate a picture and any insights.
Thanks,
Choctaw Kid
Yeah, weight is the consideration that first popped into my mind. I'd say adding both length and girth to those barrels is gonna change the balance a LOT.
Probably have to ask a few ladies how much of a difference it makes.

You can either send me a PM with your new alias and I'll change it. Or, you can call the SASS Office and they'll change it. Either will do.
I'll check my messages again in about 10 min. More coffee first.

Ford vs Chevy
9mm vs 45 ACP
Beans or no beans
Less filling vs tastes great
Ginger vs Mary Ann
Best is subjective. Mine were done by Lassiter and I absolutely love them.
P.S. Correct answers:
Ford
45 ACP
No beans
I don't like beer
Both!

Murphy says: That would hold true for thousands and thousands of practice rounds. But the instant I tried to use one of those in a match.....................

My rifles are from Taylor's and are what's called "in the white". It's my understanding that they were blued at the factory and then the outermost layer of bluing was polished off. This gives them the look of stainless but still provides the protection of bluing. I see no reason that wouldn't hold true for your pistols.

I've read great things about the AKT1 Sport Ear Buds. As long as Santa doesn't find out about those couple of incidents over the Summer I might have a chance of finding a pair in my stocking. Will report back if/when I have more info.

Simply amazing!

My electrons usually go "blooey" a couple of times a year. Usually it's at Black Gold and Comin'At'Cha.
Every stinkin’ time I hear the beep of the timer.

I've heard the initial cost is very low, but the 18+ years of maintenance is outrageous.
