Let's agree to disagree. Next time you want to go somewhere and end up ~20 miles off because the landmark given is just an estimate of your final destination just remember, it's "no big deal". Sorry, but as a former sailor I have some pretty set ideas of what a coast is. The American society doesn't need to be dumbed down any more than it already is.

So by that train of thought - Houston also has a coast. I don't think so.

Can someone please tell me where the "coast of Tallahassee" is? Tallahassee is ~20 direct miles from the coast. It was driving me nuts hearing them repeat that over and over and over.

I use pretty much the same setup as @SHOOTIN FOX. The upright portion can be made to whatever length you need for your particular umbrella. A small bungee cord between gun holders 2&3 keeps the holder in place.

Could someone please let us know when EOT stages will be/are posted?

Pat, You might want to contact @Choctaw Silver Wolf SASS 66636. He may still doing this or at least be able to give you some help/hints.

In my limited experience (5 SHOT shows) the display guns ALWAYS have smooth actions, especially compared to new off the shelf guns. Something about thousands and thousands of people constantly working the actions and dry firing?

I, personally, could care less whether this rifle gets approved/wavered or not. I'll not be rushing out to buy one either way. Here's a problem; people that no longer shoot or that only care about historical significance don't like the changes. SASS is not growing or maintaining active memberships to support the game as a national or international entity. (Look at the number of people posting one the Wire, and then estimate the number of people not on the Wire but are not SASS members and only shoot "local" matches.) Manufacturers are not selling large amounts of historically accurate firearms and are "modernizing" those designs. Those designs are selling, but are not SASS legal and therefor are not helping to grow/maintain SASS. SASS is a business. In order for a business to survive, it has to adapt. Especially when the people who started the game are no longer in it.

Is it really? Where did it go?

SOP But good picture.

a live round on the carrier of an open action, a Minor Safety Violation (MSV) will be assessed. However, if the action is opened, and a live/unfired round is ejected, a Stage DQ (SDQ) will be assessed for a long gun with a “live round under a cocked hammer having left the shooter’s hands”.

The 6.5 C is the ballistic equivalent of the 6.5 Swede but designed to be used in a short action. Ammo is readily available and priced competitively. Recoil is noticeably less then a 308 Win.

As said above, call. They've been in PA for the Great American Outdoor Show this week but should be in the office all next week. I sent an e-mail to Ruby this morning and she called be back not too long ago.
