We don't have a table this year but I'll be bringing a couple skb's
-
I haven't seen the guns yet in guessing they won't release images until shot show and I'm sure some are already in the hands of guntubers already

Just got an email from Rob, skb will be re-releasing side by sides this year. Should be interesting to see how they are built

I just noticed that according to the new chart, Ft Smith will be holding 2 regional matches this year. Maybe a typo for them holding the Plains Regional Championship this year?
It's not a typo sass sent a notice to the board of gunsmoke already.

I'm sure the research was done all the best business decisions made.
Fort Smith folks are good folks, no offense....I just don't think the ND shooters will be traveling 1000 miles for their regional.
See what 2027 brings....

You won't see many from mn either, plus the fact that gunsmoke has a contract to host the regional this year as well, has a lot of people pissed to the point of talk about lawyers getting involved. I just hope it doesn't come to that. Too many good folk on both sides that I consider friends and no winner .

I've got a mixture of ar 400 and ar 500 with 2 big gongs of hardened steel 3" thick. The gongs are holding up well but at over 500lbs a piece I don't move them often. They suck to pick up!

Ok large size frame is a ruger vaquero. It says so right on the gun. 😉 the ones that are incorrectly naming a size are the ones that shorten NEW vaquero to just vaquero.
-
I've always like disturbed s version better.
-
Dang i wish i could find primers for that price around here.. I just picked up 15000 but i had to pay 35.

I've recieved star shaped Steel awards. A small tin bucket with a couple bullet holes in it. One of my cooler ones was a wolf statue carved out of stone. About the size of a softball carved with a dremel tool then polished. Another i really liked was a bowie knive with the match name etched into the blade

I've never shotv one with my rifle but the last 6 years I've harvested deer with my vaquero s. I've also taken 2 with my sass shotguns. 1 with an 87 one with a 97

My wife has an aunt that is 2 years older than her but younger than me. I only call her aunt when i want to push her buttons

Dantankerous. Its in pretty good shape for its age. A small dent in the mag tube. Not deep enough to hinder feeding. Cycled smoothly. Shootable.
Good patina. I don't remember anything that stood out about the wood. However i spent most my time looking at the 86
-
Between varmits on the farm, and plinking i generally shoot almost every day. I do train with some retired military folks bi weekly.

Reloading 25-20 is the only way to go unless your ridiculously wealthy. Around here the only factory loaded ammo goes for $62 per box
-
J harlan. Wolfgang is right. I don't own them out have possession of them. I'm not headed that way till next week but I'll see if the owner will let me take some pics if you can tell me what you'd like to see I'll try to get them for you
-
Jim is a good friend.. I drooled over the 86 but I finally received 15000 primers in so my fun fund is tapped out
-

I've got a delux pistol grip 73 with a 20" barrel that if your interested in maybe we can work on something for the Marlin
-
It's a very good pistol I'm not surprised
-
Id listen to straight arrow. I have three of them. Inexpensive but shoot lights out.

That brings up the elephant hiding in the closet. Single action shooting.. Where we use guns designed pre 1900 or modern replicas. Because im sure you saw a lot of shotguns honed, funneled with a stay open notch. Or short stroked, wide lowered hammered colts. Short stoked 73s with straight triggers. Titanium parts. The leather we use. Boots. Even clothes are designed for speed.
The sport has changed from what it was to, as long as it looks somewhat close the sky is the limit. 20 years ago how many of those mods would have been allowed? I had the chance to talk with judge roy bean when he came to gunsmoke a few years ago. I recieved some very interesting answers.
Don't get me wrong i love this sport and the people in it. I see the sport as it is now. Not as it was. Ive only been to a few throwback shoots that went by the old rules. It was definitely different. Not better not worse. Just different. But how far is it going to erode from what it started out as?
Can a human outrun the mechanics of a gun? Yes, it can be done but it takes some serious skill. Using lighter parts, heavier springs,and mods to the design can help with that too.
The people that have that skill like duece and smokestack also have the knowledge to adjust their body and rhythm to achieve the maximum potential of the machine. So they will not out run it. Instead they show us the dynamics that make our jaws drop.

It's a great shoot you don't want to miss!
