I guess it was a marketing decision?? 40 WCF might have been confused with their 44 WCF? (40-40 vs 44-40? Have no idea, really.)

Amen to that... using those little 80gr soft lead balls, spotters have trouble hearing the hit, and you get those "miss" calls that you know hit the target. I went to 135gr .36 conicals and the "can't hear-'m" misses went away.

This soft-top footwear has been around since the 1830s. It is perfectly legal to use in anything except the costume categories. The stripe can be easily covered with shoe polish. But, your first day on the range, the stripe will be covered by dust anyway.

Los Pistoleros de Santa Margarita - the Santa Margarita Gun Club at Camp Pendleton monthly match. The matches at Pendleton were unique among other cowboy matches, in that the Marine Corps rifle range offered the opportunity for some very challenging stages. The rifle targets for most stages were set out at 75-100 yds, with at least one stage with rifle targets at 200 yds. There was always a team event at the end of the match. Because of the stages' tough, challenging, and slower nature, there was only time for 4 or 5 stages per match. Most stages were shot with only one or two guns.

When I finish with mine, I bring it with me and leave it in a waiting room. (I'm hanging out in waiting rooms way too much lately)... take off my address and leave it for others to read. The magazine format is better for that than the large newspaper-type ones we used to get. I kept the real early ones.
