Trying to fast at shooting duelist
Captain Bill Burt replied to Stagecoach south's topic in SASS Wire
So basically we’re dealing with SkyNet here. -

TW can breathe a sigh of relief. The speed demon of the Burt Bunch will be on the sidelines for this match. TW should have no problem beating up on an old two handed shooter. -

Probably your suggestion about double action revolvers which aren’t allowed in SASS (Single Action Shooting Society) -

I'm sure he would beat me pretty easily if he would learn how to properly hold a revolver. -

That's because I'm so much better looking. -

It is a highly competitive match for sure, but well worth the trip if you have the testicular fortitude. -
Primers not going BOOM turns out to be operator error.
Captain Bill Burt replied to Cholla's topic in SASS Wire
This is pretty much what I've been doing for several years now with no problems. The only difference is that I sun dry them even in winter. There's probably a geographic element to that. The Georgia sun seems to be able to take care of drying them even during the winter. -

We'll probably be adding Kid Flash as well. He's in the doghouse right now with his grades, so we'll see. -
You had the option of doing a regressive and then a progressive if you liked that better.
-
I like options. Gives me a chance to burn up some brain cells. Some folks don't. At the South Carolina State match the stage I wrote gave folks the option of sweeping right to left rifles then pistols on eight targets with a four target regressive rifle sweep 4,4,4,4,3,3,3,2,2,1 followed by a four target right to left progressive pistol sweep 1,2,2,3,3,3,4,4,4,4 (8 total targets slanted away from the shooter left to right with targets 4 and 8 smaller than the others). OR you could shoot left to right with progressive pistol sweep followed by a regressive rifle sweep. Basically the shooter had to choose between dumping four pistol rounds on a close pistol target or dumping four rifle rounds on a close rifle target. I thought of it as 'pick your poison.' Most chose right to left (I did and ran it in 18 seconds and some change) and dumped four rounds on the close pistol target, BUT I did hear there was quite a bit of grumbling. Live and learn I guess. I expect that stage won't be seen again at SC.

I'm not a fan of short stroked Rugers, but then I'm not a duelist either. Lowered hammers would probably help, or short stroking, or both. I know several duelists who went with Single Sixes. The smaller frame gets your thumb closer to the hammer even with stock hammers and no short stroke. -
PWB correctly reminded me that first pistol second pistol instructions should be interpreted as first five shots, second five shots. Thats what I was referring to, the instructions Eysa Horg mentioned, not the stage, which is pretty straightforward. I would shoot it 3,3,3,4,5,1,2,3,3,3.

Those type instructions aren’t fair to gunfighters since they don’t have a ‘first’ and ‘second’ pistol.

Question about a particular sweep: WTC
Captain Bill Burt replied to Widder, SASS #59054's topic in SASS Wire
For many it may not make difference, but speaking only for myself if I’m thinking about what I’m gonna shoot next then I’m shooting too slow. -

It’s hard to follow gunfighter logic! -
I sure wish I could be there for this. Hopefully next year!
-
I can help with that. Because they believe it’s faster, and for some people it is. I’ve only been shooting CAS for 13 years. I’ve learned that there’s a lot I don’t know, so I try to keep an open mind.

I appreciate you bringing this up. It's touchy providing this kind of feedback. The folks we're talking about are often friends in addition to being the MDs, but if everyone is hesitant to discuss concerns, then things that need to be addressed aren't.
