  1. My three youngest started with youth model Henry 22's slicked up by Widder and Slater. They all started with SKBs in 12 gauge and Ruger .22 revolvers. The two boys both moved to Uberti 73's and Vaqueros in 38 special pretty quickly.
  2. In order of preference: 1. Remington Gun Club 2. Remington STS 3. Winchester AA LRLN
  3. I would not choose a rifle with a barrel longer than 20 inches for our game. Currently we have four shooters in the family. Two are shooting 18 inch full octagon barrels and two are shooting 18 inch half round half octagon. All have 5th gen C&I short strokes and all of them are straight stocks, although the stock shape is related to preference more than a perceived competitive advantage. Gunsmiths are Lefty Wheeler, Reno Mustang and Fast Eddie.
  4. I use Meta Ray Ban Wayfarer smart glasses. They’re a bit pricey and battery life needs to be longer but they’re easy to use, do a lot more than just take pictures/video, and they’re prescription.
  5. Just reposting this since it appears some folks missed it.

Florida State is coming up soon....kickoff in just over three weeks April 4th, immediately followed by the SC Bushwhack April 11th and then KY Shootout in the Hills April 18th. I'm happy to be shooting all three of these! Three State Matches, back to back to back. There is a short (one weekend) break and then it's time to go to Alabama May 2nd where they are having them big and close. Another weekend off and it's time for a Stampede in Georgia May 16th followed immediately with Smoking Guns at Rabbit Ridge in Mississippi May 23rd. Catch your breath for a weekend and then the Magnificent 7 wraps up with a Reckoning in Tennessee June 6th!
  7. Hmm. I’m going to remember you said that. Asked and answered. P and the offer of a reshoot sounds right to me.
  8. I need to get mine and Iron Cowboy’s apps in!
  9. Congratulations Jace!
  10. We're up to 64, 11 of whom haven't registered yet, but have given me verbal confirmation. Frontier Cartridge and Outlaw buckles have been ordered. Our newest competitors are Coosie and Witchy Woman! Come join the fun!!
  11. No. I’m asking if it’s unsafe to do it on purpose is it unsafe to do it accidentally? In other words should a penalty apply regardless of intent. Not proposing just asking.
  12. Useful insights from the Gunfighters. So, would it make sense for it to be a penalty even if there is no intent to re-engage?
  13. Ever heard of prop failure? Hopefully everyone is OK and things are going as planned.
  14. It may not disadvantage a gunfighter relative to other gunfighters but it does place them at a disadvantage relative to other shooters as it can force them to shoot double duelist. Respectfully, it is different. A traditional shooter is allowed to holster a loaded pistol and later draw and fire it again without penalty regardless of intent. Intent in that situation is only relevant for gunfighters. Rarely would a non gunfighter wish to do that, but they could if they chose to. The fact that gunfighters aren’t penalized if the action isn’t intentional leads me to the conclusion that the rule isn’t about safety as when does intent impact other safety calls? Can a shooter avoid a penalty for a dropped gun, round left on the carrier, 170 violation, etc. by stating that they didn’t intend to do that? Obviously not, so allowing a gunfighter to unintentionally holster a loaded revolver without penalty tells me it isn’t a safety issue.
  15. I'm with Linn and Pat, way to mixed of a heritage to start using hyphens.
  16. Because they don’t have to.
  17. Page 15. Safe conditions during a course of fire - revolvers. Third bullet point Gunfighter.
  18. We now have 62 shooters, 50 of whom have sent in their registration. This is the most ever with a month left! Here are our registered shooters. Captain Bill Burt, Delta Glen, English Tom, Cotton Mouth Cole, Tin Can Sailor, Whiskey Belle, Shootin Sharyn, Cat A Tonic, Arcadia Outlaw, Iron Cowboy, Kid Flash, Midwest Hale, Copperhead Joe, T-Bone Johnson, Cowtown Scout, Pops Corbin, The Revenuer, Tyrell Cody, Midnight Rider, T-Square, Preacherman, Sedalia Dave, Santa Fe River Stan, Lady J. , Ophelia Payne, Max Payne, Fast Eddie, Scarlett Darling, TN Tombstone, Doc Roy L. Payne, Pinky Buscadero, Uncle Ethan, Posey County Lefty, Lefty's Lucky Lady, Badlands Bob, Tinhorn Timmy, Miss M, Mister Badly, Ocoee Red, Thin Mint, Hayfever Hart, Calamity Gray, Hawkeye Hart, Amaduelist, Crawdaddy, Gunnby, Jimmie Gunnfighter, Crooked Bullet, Brazos Belle, and Krazy Kajun. I’ve already ordered 14 buckles from Mollys and am about to order two more (Frontier Cartridge and Outlaw).
  19. Or stop on your way home and shoot the South Carolina Match, which is the following weekend.
  20. Yeah but it's a dry heat!
  21. I'm 100% sure that I will fall into one of those categories.
  22. I'm pretty sure the springs I put in our Wranglers were #17. I also polished the hammer strut, which was really rough. The loading gate springs are horrible, but don't affect shooting so I've left them alone.
  23. I’m truly sorry that you view life through a lense that clearly brings you a great deal of unhappiness. I hope things improve. Regretfully I will be placing you on my ignore list now as I find your posts directly conflict with why I frequent the Wire.
