I'm going to give this a bump. We have 45 shooters, apps are coming in pretty regularly. Cowboy, Cowgirl, Senior, Elder Statesman, Frontiersman and Classic Cowboy have four or more already. Duelist, Silver Senior and Frontier Cartridge are headed that way. I'm wondering where all the Gunfighters and Outlaws are?

That's correct! This wonderful match is still a part of the Magnificent Seven. I had a blast there last year!!

I like the Remington Gun Club shells, but I did get several cases last year with weak aluminum bases that swelled just enough after firing to make them really tough to shuck. Of course we discovered this issue at Alabama State an it cost the Iron Cowboy at least a place or two overall. Since then I've stuck with STS.

I know at least four people who will have their apps in the mail very shortly!

I shoot Rugers but own several Colts. They’re just not my first choice for CAS.

No sir. Still the same 7 states, though South Carolina State is now Doc Kemm and crew with the Rampage. I know everyone appreciates the great job @Slippery Stew and his cowboys did for the last several years. I hope you'll join us!

Howdy Pard! Yeah, typically we've cut it off at the beginning of FL State, but the last two years that didn't happen until April. Now it's Mid March. I don't want folks to get caught by surprise, so I figured we would give them until April 1st. We're up to 45!!

Applications are starting to pick up. We're at 34 shooters and aiming to exceed last year's 77. The sign up deadline this year is April 1st. Don't be foolish. Sign up before then!!

I bet six hours or so in the crockpot with some vegetables and groundhog could be pretty good.

Respectfully, I would like to see the slick shooter who is better at single pistol reloads than at transitioning to shotgun for a single shot.

I’m sure @Santa Fe River Stan,36999L wouldn’t mind!

You’re my target market! Folks who typically shoot one or two state matches but might be willing to shoot three (or more). I’m sure you’ll shoot Fl State, probably GA State, all you need is one more…

Exactly! Agreed. Starting off by calling someone stupid, or characterizing their actions as stupid isn’t persuasive or productive. RR isn’t stupid, nor is she unsafe. If what she is describing is a violation of the rules then quote the rules, not 15 paragraphs of why YOU don’t like it. It’s clearly not dry firing at the LT. Whatever it is, or isn’t, it’s either so clear cut that PWB isn’t going to elaborate on his original statement (which means it’s a no call), or murky enough that he’s still working on it.

This is going to be a good one!!!

Similar to what we did years ago at Georgia State. I hope you will join in!!! @Fireball #7709 Life too!

We’re just over thirty and apps are coming in. Don’t wait! I’ll be ordering buckles next month!

Looking forward to it!

Those are nice!

And we all know pansies who walk among us. Kidding aside, what is the wiggle? Barrel to forearm fit?

‘Dry firing – the act of bringing an unloaded firearm into a shooting position, cocking the hammer, and pulling the trigger as if to cause the gun to fire normally.’ Page 43 SHB.

So, shameless plug here. For those discussing driving distances there's a great opportunity out there for you. The Magnificent 7! FL 3/19 SC 4/9 KY 4/23 AL 4/30 GA 5/14 MS 5/22 TN 6/4 Seven awesome State Matches in a 77 day period. With a little planning a person could do a three week road trip and get in three state matches. https://southeastopenmagnificentseven.com/

I'm very sorry for your loss!!

Maybe necessary to fill out regions??

Interesting changes, looks like a lot of work went into them. I don't see any impact personally, though I was really hoping that EOT would occasionally be closer to the east coast. I don't see a trip to Arizona happening any time soon for the Burts. Nice little benefit for the shooters in shared states who get to choose which region they want to compete in. I guess for them the old saying 'choose your category wisely' now has an addendum, 'choose your region wisely.'

Yep! Thanks for posting that Rye.
