  1. So very sorry to hear this.  I greatly enjoyed shooting with Dynamite Deed—very competitive but able to enjoy herself.  Just fun to be around and always a hardworking posse member.  We’ll miss you, friend but won’t forget you.  My prayers for Chance, all her family and friends.

  2. I made the same decision a while back, Widder.  I am 75 now and have won my share of State and Regional championships shooting GF style, with some pretty good finishes at EOT and Winter Range to boot.  And while I understand the reasoning on both sides of the question, I consider the proliferation of age categories excessive anyway.  Happy just be out shooting with friends occasionally these days.

    In the proposed stage, there are 5 strings, including 2 revolver strings--whether you are shooting GF or not---because all shooters are changing firearm types 4 times. Yes, the stage conventions, as noted, require that the revolver be returned to leather at the end of the string, BUT those shooting GF style are expressly forbidden to reholster with the intent to use the revolvers again and so must shoot double duelist unless stage design accommodate grounding the pistols. Furthermore, as the relevant stage convention pertaining to a single revolver being deployed specifically notes, it may be overridden with instructions requiring or permitting the revolver to be staged rather than reholstered. It is not necessary that the revolvers first be staged in order to permit/require them to be staged after use. For the sake of clarity and consistency, in writing your stage instructions, you could simply require all shooters to stage the revolver(s) at the end of the first revolver string. Or you could permit it for those shooting other than GF style, allowing them the choice either of reholstering the first revolver or of staging it until the stage concludes.

  4. Bucky was one of my favorite cowboys--always easy going, relaxed, smiling. Nice guy and lots of fun to be around. I had been following his travails, thanks to Rolan, and knew he was struggling. Whiskey and all his family will be in my prayers.

  5. I have some badly dimpled shotgun knockdown targets. I wlll reverse those I can. But as for the rest, can they be ground down to recover a flat surface and used again or am I relegated to replacing them? Any advice on repairing dimpled steel, if that's a viable option, would be appreciated. Thanks.

    I owned 3 of the 4 and shot all of them. Bottom line-I greatly prefer the SKB. Well made, reliable, easy to handle. See if you can get Fast Eddie to fix one up for you.
