And, if the Stage instructions were to read sweep the targets in a 3,2,4,1,5 sweep, would your erstwhile shooter, making the determination that target 3 was the 1st target on the left, with 2 the next target to the right, followed by 4, 1 & 5, as long as he was consistent, be following the stage instructions? To me, that seems like anarchy.
I would find that interpretation perfectly acceptable…so long as the shooter was good with me awarding him a 10 second ‘bonus’ added to his time!

As other's have said, add language stating that the sweep can be started on either end AND language that says with pistols repeat rifle 'instructions' and vice versa.
I prefer to sweep left to right with my rifle, as most right handed shooters do and I since I draw my right pistol first (almost always) I prefer to run my pistol sweeps right to left. -

Please be aware everyone that those standings aren't final or even necessarily comparable since some folks have already shot four matches and I included the best three, and some have shot either only one, only two or only three. Things will become clearer as more matches are shot, but it will be hard to 'predict' standings given you'll be getting the best three matches and we won't know what those are for everyone until TN State is in the books.
I'm tabulating as we go so I don't have a monumental task Saturday afternoon after the TN state match. I'll just add TN State results, check shooter's best three are the ones included, sort and post.

I love the company but not that rifle. I have a .22 and it’s great. That’s it for me.
I have two 73’s for CAS and they are great!The .22 is great for SASS, particularly after Slater and Widder work them over. They did a great job on Kid Flash’s .22 and Widder upgraded the front sights nicely.

I didn't see it on the latest PSA ad, but in the last one, they stated that they were based on the Series 70 and that all of the internals were 70 Series type internals. They were, probably still are, made in Turkey. Turkey has been putting out some pretty nice guns for the price lately.
For the price, you just can't beat it.
Everything I've put through it fed fine, including some wadcutters although most of it was round nose flat point of varying ammo (lead and jacketed).
Grips absolutely suck, cheap looking and cheap feeling - buy new grips.
Sights are small, hard to pick up and are not modern sights, weren't supposed to be I guess. Sights on the original A1 weren't any better.
Magazine was a little stiff but good quality.
If I had the funds, I'd buy 3 or 4 of them just to put away for a rainy day.
The sights on the carry model are Novak knockoffs. That model costs a bit more but is still a very good deal.
This was one of the Iron Cowboys Christmas presents. Kid Flash got an AR-15 and my in-laws looked like they would have strokes (lol)

I should stay away from this but like Griff, it’s hard not to respond. Do slower shooters ‘automatically’ dislike faster shooters and slicked up guns? Not in my experience.
Is there a small but dedicated contingent of ‘slower’ shooters who dislike the speed aspect of the game and sometimes resent faster shooters, and/or slicked up guns and/or big and close targets? Absolutely!
There’s plenty of room in my shooting world for fast, medium or slow as a snail shooters, as long as they leave room for me in theirs.

Before you rule it out, check with Tennessee Williams.Be careful, he’ll have you chowing down on nanner splits, and playing with snakes, chicken feet and possum penis bones if you’re not careful.

If I can’t run 10 rounds through it in under 3 seconds without a hitch it’s not suitable for a SASS match, at least not for me.
As Creeker said my wife’s Telluride could ‘work’ on the track, but I would use my Camaro 1LE since it was designed for the track and would be more competitive.

I bought a Tisas Carry (modern sights, flared ejection port, etc.) for Iron Cowboy and I've been pretty impressed by it for EDC purposes.
The only cautionary note I'll share is that although it runs jacketed bullets fine I have experienced a few failures to feed with lead bullets. That may be attributable to my reloading, or to the gun. At some point I'll try to run some of my reloads through my Colt Commander to get a better idea whether it's the bullets or the gun.

Has Henry modified this rifle from the prior design to make it more suitable for SASS competitions?

Can I ask why you guys feel that way? Have you used it and not liked it, or......?
I guess saying it's a solution in search of a problem is a bit of an overstatement, though I tend to feel that way. A better way to say it would be that I think it could potentially lead to an unsafe situation. I don't want to be in a situation where I have a live round in the chamber and have to empty the mag tube either through the gate or by removing the plug, and then have to lower the hammer on a live round in order to clear it. I also think there are better ways to solve the problem of throwing rounds out of the rifle.
Red River Ray said it best when he said: "It's lever trigger lever trigger, not lever lever trigger" or words to that affect.

The rules regarding 'lug' soles are commonly misunderstood.
SHB page 8 (Classic Cowboy requirements):
Boots are required and must be of traditional design with non-grip enhancing (ie., 'no lug') soles.
SHB page 9 (B-Western requirements):
Boots are required and must be of traditional design and embellished with fancy stitching, multi-color fancy design, conchos or spots. Soles must be non-grip enhancing (ie., 'no lug' soles). Lace up boots and moccasins are not allowed.
Unless you're in one of these two categories those boots should be fine.

Lol! Seriously! Folks will be able to take less than two weeks vacation, hit the road and get in two state matches.
In April you could take 7 days off and travel/shoot SC/FL.
Or KY/AL in 7 work days.Or GA/MS in 7 work days or GA/MS/TN in 12 work days, and one of those is a holiday so 3 state matches with only 11 days off work, depending upon when TN schedules 2025.
2025 might be my year to hit all 7 matches!

Great range, great folks to shoot with. Well run when I went several years ago.
It's the weekend before the TN state. Just can't do 2 big matches 2 weekends in a row.
It's more funner that way! Next year the Magnificent 7 will take place in an even shorter time frame! 7 excellent state matches in 65 days!

Brass stuck in sizing/depriming die
in SASS Wire
Posted
I managed to get a piece of .32 H&R mag stuck on a .38 special die a while back. I snipped the rim, creating a small cut, then grabbed a lip of the cut with needle nose pliers and peeled the brass of the die in a spiral. Brute force approach.
