Captain Bill Burt

I love love love the Reckoning! Great stages, great facilities, great awards, great door prizes and most of all great people. The Burt Bunch will be there. Our apps are already in and our AirBnB is already reserved in Bell Buckle.

I’m with Rainmaker. No call. It sounds like those calling for a penalty are assuming facts that the OP did not provide. 1. The op did not state that the gun wasn’t pointed downrange when the trigger was pulled. If that were true then we have a 170 violation whether the trigger is pulled or not. 2. The OP did not state that the shooter moved after the slide closed. If that occurred then we have a moving with a cocked gun closed action violation. 3. The OP stated that the shooter shucked the hull, but even if he hadn’t, it’s still safe to move with a hull in the action.

I’m not top tier but I’ve shot a fair amount of crossdraw including two weeks ago at Florida State shooting duelist. Assuming you draw the crossdraw first I think that pistol to pistol transition will be faster, BUT holstering the strong side pistol while transitioning to the next gun is the challenge. I holster my strong side pistol with my offside hand to free up my strong side for the next gun. I make that easier by placing my strong side holster as close to my centerline as I can while still allowing two fists distance between holsters.

Just time to catch my breath from Kentucky state then the Iron Cowboy and I will posse up for the Shootout at Cavern Cove. Deadly I hope you have some big and close lined up for us...

Congratulations to Bush Ax Jack and Slow Jen Top man and top Lady!!

Well Kentucky State was fun. Gunfighter was tough. 8 misses on the first day, but only one called on the second day!

Now that was a fun match! Posse five was great to shoot with!

Thank you! I look forward to shooting with you tomorrow.

If someone could post the posse lists that would be nice! I want to know who’s going to be laughing at me trying to shoot gunfighter.

See you tomorrow morning!

Looking forward to it, but first ‘Shootout in the Hills!’

It was nice meeting you as well!! See in Alabama I a couple of weeks!
