  2. Ok! I won’t be at KY, but you can give the $20 to Badlands Bob or the Kajun.
  3. So the Ides of March is underway and with it the Magnificent 7. I'm going to do a better job of communicating this time around. I will have one post for overall and one for each category. Once each Match's scores are published I'll edit the posts and enter the scores. That way anyone who wants to can see a running total for themselves and the other shooters. I'll also post this on the Magnificent 7 website. Here are the competitors and their categories: Shooter Category Badlands Bob GF Max Payne Cattle Baron Ophelia Payne Ladies Senior Cat A. Tonic Cowgirl Copperhead Joe Cowboy Captain Bill Burt Cowboy Iron Cowboy Cowboy Shootin Sharyn Cowgirl Kid Flash Young Gun Cotton Mouth Cole Senior Wabash Valley Slim Cowboy Scarlett AACG/LGF Midwest Hale Cowgirl Arcadia Outlaw Cowboy Preacherman GF Jimmie Gunnfighter FC/AAC Gunnby LGF/AACG Tyrel Cody FC Midnight Rider FC Tuco Forsyth Cowboy Randy Saint Eagle Duelist Fast Eddie Elder Statesman Lucky Lead Pepper Duelist Uncle Ethan GF Santa Fe River Stan Cowboy Yohan Senior English Tom Senior Crooked Bullet Gunfighter Brazos Belle Ladies Senior Groundhog Cowboy Crawdaddy Elder Statesman Cahawba Kid FCG Tin Can Sailor Senior Krazy Kajun FC TN Tombstone Outlaw Shelleen Senior Whiskey Creek Johnson Outlaw Mister Badly Outlaw Koda Joe Gunfighter Purly Cattle Barron Trail Bandit Cattle Barron Leadfoot Luke Gunfighter/AAC Hey Sugar Lady Senior Lawman Mark FC Christian Mortician Cowboy Dodge City Dixie Lady Senior Reno Mustang GF Roy L.

  4. I don't believe there is a difference. I'm pretty sure there are OMVs and NMVs and that's it. The NMV says 'New Vaquero' at least my SASS Vaqueros do and so do my son's Vaqueros. If there is a third variation of Vaqueros I've never heard of it.
  5. We have two sets of Jimmy Spurs Rugers and a third pair are with him now being worked on. If you're going to have them worked on I wouldn't bother with changing the springs as the gunsmith will be modifying those anyway. If you're not going to send them to a smith then I would use the 17 lb springs.
  6. We're getting a little push here at the end. We're now up to 52! The deadline is tomorrow. An email, DM, or post here will be sufficient to get you in. You can always mail the $20 later. Also, Ophelia Payne is collecting applications at Florida State, which kicks off first thing in the morning!!
  7. We're up to 49 people! The deadline to sign up is Friday, the Ides of March the first day of the Florida State main match! Good luck to all the shooters! I don't have to receive your app by Friday, contacting me here or by email or DM will be fine!
  8. Respectfully I think your observation about shotgun reloading may be area specific. The majority of cowboys I shoot with reload shotgun. It's unusual to see a large quantity of hulls that don't get picked up. You will rarely see Remington Gun Club or Remington STS being left behind, despite the fact that those hulls are used very regularly in this area. Having said that, shotgun reloading is certainly less common that metallic cartridge reloading. I think the answer to that is probably that we use a lot fewer shotgun shells than we do metallic cartridge and the savings for reloading shotshells is lower. You might save 5 bucks or so per box, so for an individual maybe $20-$30 a month. For metallic cartridge you're probably saving closer to $30 per match (.19 to reload and .50 to buy new multiplied by 120 rounds) which means monthly savings of $120-$180 depending upon matches shot per month. Given my family shoots 4-6 matches a month and has 2-4 people at each match, reloading shotshells generates savings of $50-$120 a month.
  9. We need to get a Chicken George/Captain Bill Burt joint family picture at Tennessee State!
  10. Yul is a man of many talents. Thanks for this thread Yul!
  11. I think just watching TW and Widder go after each other would be worth the price of admission, kind of like watching a train wreck, you can't look away. They kind of remind me of Laurel and Hardy. Throw in a topnotch match, great folks, great awards and great door prizes and it's a heck of a deal.
  12. We’re sending our apps in the order we’re shooting the matches. SC is in. AL goes out this week. GA is next followed by TN. Shootin Sharyn (Cowgirl) Kid Flash (Young Gun) and me (Senior) will definitely be there (already rented the AirBnB). Iron Cowboy (Cowboy) will be there, but whether he shoots will depend upon when he has his shoulder surgery and how long it takes to recover.
  13. We have 47 people signed up and 10 days until the signup deadline. If you’re interested PM me and I’ll add you to the list!
  14. Did Matt not compete this year?
  15. I wouldn’t campaign to support the change, mainly because I don’t think it would provide any meaningful benefit for anyone. Having said that if it came up for a vote I would probably vote yes.
  16. Here's a screenshot of what the buckles will look like.
  17. SC, AL, GA and TN. If I can get away with it I’m going to KY too.
  18. I'm happy to say I've ordered the Molly buckles! That always makes me a bit nervous as I want to be sure I've ordered exactly what I want. Now I can be nervous until they arrive and I can verify they're right. They are customized to include the category on the buckle. The 14 categories are as described above. I need six additional participants to break even, which I feel comfortable I'll get. Once we hit that mark I can add an additional category if I get four entries (time to order permitting). If you indicated you're participating I have you down. If you haven't sent in your app yet please do so as soon as you can.
  19. Just imagine the campfire scene from Blazing Saddles and you'll get an idea of what it will be like.
