I have an AWA in 44-40 and it will run fine. . .If the "Loose nut" holding it will do his part. I have not shot it for a couple of years and had decided to shoot it last weekend. . . well I will be shooting my 94 next time.

Sadly there comes a time when the equipment needs to be put out to pasture. We use Practiscore with online sign up and have forgone the old paper score sheets as well. Adding the few technologically impaired shooters to the tablets before the match is not a big deal. We usually have the scores up on Practiscore within a couple of hours after the match.
