Captain Bill Burt

Here's the Magnificent 7 results from The Bushwhack. Categories are Mag 7, not necessarily Bushwhack. This was the last Bushwhack for a while. Next year SC State will be in Charleston with the Geechee Gunfighters.

South Carolina starts tomorrow! There are 27 Magnificent 7 competitors attending.

The marathon continues. Last week it was FL State, which was a blast, today the Burts (minus the Iron Cowboy) are heading out to the Bushwhack! The stages look pretty good to me! The weather is looking windy and a bit chilly for the Friday morning wave. I doubt it will match the Arctic Monsoon of '23 though.

I use Armorall Wash and Wax with Lemishine. It may just be my imagination but the ‘wax’ seems to make the brass slicker and feed easier in my Dillon.

Three Cut made the same repair on one of mine years ago and it’s held up well.

You can pay me when you see me! There are three or four folks on the list that verbally signed up and are paying in person, which is fine!

We had 37 Magnificent 7 shooters at Florida State (I'm pretty sure every one of them had an awesome time at this fantastic match)!! The categories listed are their Magnificent 7 categories, not necessarily their FL State categories due to collapsing a few age groups.

I will!! Hopefully later today if I have time. Certainly before SC State!

What a fun match!! I enjoyed every minute of it, despite learning that shooting duelist is tough and affects every part of the stage, not just the pistols. I’ll enjoy getting back to traditional in four days at the Bushwhack!!

Florida State is in the books. What a fun match!! I'll post some pics and videos over on https://southeastopenmagnificentseven.com/ later. We did pick up a few more shooters and it's perfect that our total number of shooters is now 77! Registration is closed and I picked up just enough extra to get one more buckle, We're adding Lady Senior!

Things are kicking off tomorrow. The Florida match is looking very good. The stages look fun and the target size and distances are just right!!

I go wheels up Thursday morning. I'm pretty much ready other than I need to chamber check my main match rounds, then it's gas up the Camaro and keep an eye out for smokies. Waze tells me it's about a 4 hour drive, which means I should be able to get there in about 3.5 hours. Looks like my AirBnB is less than 4 miles from the range.

Hanging on wooden pegs.

Perfect!!

Charlie writes great stages. The Marauder's fifth Saturday matches always draw a crowd and this is the perfect warm up for The Last Stand.

You know spring is here when it's time for Florida State. I can't wait to see what Stan and Delta have for us!!

The deadline to sign up is fast approaching. If you want some of what Stew is cooking the time to sign up is now!!!

I'm excited to finally get back to the Ponderosa. A huge party and there's a match too! This will be three state matches in three weeks for me, something I've never done before. https://ponderosa-pines.com/ky-state-championship

If you like big targets and fast stages this is your match. Austin likes to give the shooter lots of options!! https://www.northalabamaregulators.com/copy-of-ambush-southeast-regional

Fast Eddie and his crew are hard at work crafting yet another perfect match. He approaches the State Match the way he does SKBs, anything less than perfect isn't acceptable. https://www.srscowboy.com/events.html

Smokin' Guns at Rabbit Ridge is coming up in May! I've heard a lot of good things about this match and unfortunately haven't been there yet. Everyone says food is great and the Riverboat is amazing. Get yourself to Mississippi and join the fun! The dates this year are: May 23-25. https://mississippiriverrangers.org/

The Regulator's Reckoning is coming up in June! It's a fantastic match. Great stages, great range, great door prizes (especially if you like whisky) and most of all great people. It's also the finale of the Magnificent 7. The dates this year are: June 5-7. This is a bucket list match!! https://www.wartraceregulators.com/StateMatch.aspx
