I have never seen Deuce in person but watch him on you-tube...........
Trust me, he's just as ugly in person.

The Eldorado Cowboys have "decided" (ok, I admit it was mostly my idea), that The Best Shoot by a Dam Site should pay homage to the game we used to play in cowboy. Perhaps interject a little bit of the silliness that has been lost over time. A Legacy shoot.
As if I didn't love you enough already. You still can't have my Bud Lite, but this is AWESOME!
I know how much this is hated in some circles but, I'd love to see some bonus targets thrown into the mix.
Since Dam Site is limited to 100 shooters, maybe bring back the Texas Star. Hopefully resetting time wouldn't cause problems with a slightly smaller match.
Haven't seen a required reload, either rifle or pistol in ages, that would definitely be a throw-back.

I understand that you can reload cheaper. What im trying to figure out is what percentage of shooters use factory ammo. Also what caliber, bullet weight would be idea for those shooters.

Those would be some pretty tough numbers to verify. I'll go out on a limb and GUESS that factory ammo shooters are in the vast minority. 10% maybe? Again, that's a total guess.
My second guess would be the caliber percentages. Not sure why but my gut tells me it would be about a 50/50 split between 38 Special and 45 Colt. Yeah, you'll have a few other calibers thrown in there but I think they'd be statistically insignificant.
Final guess would be bullet weight. I'll guess 38 Special would be overwhelmingly 125 grain since I think that's the most common. I've never bought 45 Colt factory ammo so don't know bullet weight availability there. When I loaded that round I used 200 grain bullets.
All SWAGs folks so don't have a hissy fit if you think I'm way off base.

I don't ever recall laying on the ground and needing shotgun shells during a SASS match.
You've never watched me shoot. Remaining upright is optional.

Yeah Bob, probably not. But Shooting Bull has been known to take a dive or two at Winter Range.
Only once. Stuck the landing but got totally ripped off by the Russian judge.

Maybe these Gents just want to have fun. Nothing wrong with that. If they want to use a Henry then that's fine. To some this game isn't all about competition and speed.
^ This. I started SASS with a Big Boy. They're incredibly smooth right out of the box and backed by some of the best customer service in the gun industry. I never experienced the jamming problems others have mentioned. Ran flawlessly when I did my part. That being said, they can't be run fast nor be made to run fast. So if the shooters in question are satisfied with a rifle that works perfectly yet at slow speeds, the Big Boy is just fine. If they'll get frustrated by a rifle that will give them problems if they try to run it too fast, they need to look elsewhere.

Your choice of single vs. double loop pouches should be determined by how you grab the shells. I grab them from the side between the forefinger and thumb of my weak hand. For that reason a double pouch works best for me. If you grab them from the top with your middle finger between the shells with your strong hand, single loops would probably work best for you. Here's a Longhunter video of both techniques. (Even though he uses the same belt for both.)

In "Down Periscope" he plays an Admiral who is trying to rig a sea trial by using a screw-up captain (Kelsey Grammer) and a broken down sub. He might not be a "bad" guy, but he sure isn't "good".
Funny, I don't remember anyone other than Lt Emily Lake from that movie.

A few years ago I switched to the Tupelo Flash bandolier for shotgun ammo and liked it. Can't even remember why I went back to a regular ammo belt but am thinking of making the switch again. What are some of the better quality bandoliers out there these days?

Ya got to shoulder a few... see what you prefer... that's the only way. Go to a match... ask 'round... or go to a dealer. That's the true... only way to find out.
Like trucks... folks have different preferences in configurations...
^ What he said. Find one of each. Close your eyes and throw them up to you shoulder, get a good cheek weld and then open your eyes. Sometimes sights will be in alignment with one and not the other. That's the one you should choose.

Nevada sweeps?
in SASS Wire
Posted
I was going to give a wise ass reply in a different thread (Surprised?
) and an interesting question came to mind.
Nevada sweeps don't have to start on an end target, they can start in the middle. What would be your reaction if a stage called for the shooter to use the rifle to perform two separate Nevada sweeps, both starting in the middle and going in either direction?
You'd have to remember to double tap the center with the fifth and sixth rounds. I think that would be pretty cool with pistols, but think it might be considered a P trap for rifles.
