Pleasure to meet you Jack! yes, nice match. Was a little windy Saturday, but Sunday was nigh onto perfect Texas spring day. Thanks to the Cabs for putting on a nice match. I never shoot there that I don’t think of 2 fine folks who were very active in building that range. RIP Barb Steel & Jim No Horse. And congrats to my Pard Totes Magoats on the overall win.

Another good filler is more APP!

I’ve found once you start slip hammering (as a 2 handed shooter) it’s pretty hard to go back. I don’t think many dualist slip hammer. I’d strongly suggest you master dualist before trying.

I saw this recently. Kinda ugly but it works. And if it ever rains in S Texas again will be handy!!!!

I’d think of it as least possible penalty, which is the P. There is no competitive advantage gained in knocking both down. It was a “brain fade” P. Having shooter stop at position to shoot again was improper coaching that impeded shooter. Shooter is entitled to a reshoot. look at it this way. If shooter shot rifle or pistols at wrong position, would you require them to come back and shadow shoot the targets from correct position?

Most have been 5 shots on a paper plate at 3-5’. Really close. Start with muzzle touching table. Start your own timer. Usually takes <1.5 seconds to win That’s why it’s start your own timer. Can’t jump the beep that way! Pocket pistols are fun to collect and shoot. Not real expensive. It’s fun imagining where they spent most of their life. Gamblers vest, sportin house madams garter belt, under a bar. Bad guys boot.

When I was a kid we lived near Kissimmee Fl. (Pre-Disney). We had about 10 acres of trees. Eating fresh citrus from tree will ruin you for eating store bought oranges! We also enjoyed fresh squeezed juice.

3.0 Bullseye with either 105 (pistol) if 130 rifle has worked god me. 40K rounds +/. Bullseye is not temp or position sensitive. Excellent powder for our game. you can load over 18,000 rounds with an 8lb jug!

Yea, I got the email on the Dillon’s deal. Basically a free case feeder. But a Dillon 750 without a case feeder is like a car without tires! get a spare parts kit. Yes Dillon will replace broken parts, but this way you don’t have to wait. get the tool kit. Very handy. pass on the primer filler. Try one of these https://www.doublealpha.biz/us/primafill well worth the money. Pecking primers is my least favorite thing about reloading!

No wonder I see you at every match I go to!!! 272,000,000+! Will it make 300,000,00???

I generally drag out my 22s & 410 double to shoot at least one match a year, usually in the summertime )when it’s hot and the lighter guns are less work!) this is for a monthly club match. I’ve never had a problem with our knockdowns, if fairly hit. I do aim a bit more for the upper 1/3 of target than I would with my 38s. shooting 22s is fun. I have a Win pump and a Marlin 39a. A Ruger Single Six, a Ruger Shopkeeper, a Colt new frontier. I bring them all and have fun.

At a minimum 2x month, some months 3. plus 5-6 annuals/yr and Land Run.

There are many very good cowboy smiths around. I’d find a local guy who can work on them. My experience: I’ve never had a Vaquero go down. Had a front sight fall off once. I have a backup SKB. I’ve never needed it. I have 2 identical Uberti-Win 73s. I’ve had to use my backup several times. They are a bit more prone to problems. Just more moving parts.

Unique is better suited for that.

Unless the renewal fee is really a difference maker I would suggest keep paying it. We need a governing body, even if one doesn’t shoot state level & above matches, should still support the national association. Plus it gives you access to sell on the sasswire should you want to!

I gave 2 Uberti 73s in 38/357 both set up by Brushy Creek Bill. They are very nearly identical. I typically shoot 5 stages with one then one stage with the other, to rotate their usage. I can’t tell the difference between them. I also have a 66 by Brushy. I like the looks of the brsss, but like the ease of side plates and lever safety on the 73. Probably going to bring the 66 to Texas State swap meet. also have a Uberti Henry 1860 in 44-40. Hadn’t shot it in a while. for Cody Dixon marlin 336CB in 38-55 uberti Win 94 in 38-55 for long range pistol caliber Marlin 94CB in 44 mag Browning 92 in 357/38 For Long range Uberti win 76 in 45-60 browning 86 in 45-70 uberti 1885 in 38-55 uberti 1885 in 40-65 i like shooting them all! For CAS the 73s are hard to beat.

no particular order. Shotgun Boogie Doc Noper Fast Eddie.

Prickly Pear Peggy in Texas does a lot of that type work.

I tried the Axil electronic. They worked ok. Was nice to hear conversations. But they just did not fit in my ear well. Several different tips, nothing seemed to work without making my ears hurt. I bought some custom molded plugs. Much better. I do take one out while listening to scenario being read.

I prefer the 200 with the beavertail. Just handles better for me. And coin finish because it’s purty! I’d strongly suggest getting the mechanical conversion. At some point you will be sorry you didn’t! I have one set up my Shotgun Boogie. Excellent in every respect. My other was done by unknown smith. The mechanical conversion works, but looks odd. Reciever is fine, stocks ok, barrels look like crap, but 100% functional. It’s my backup, wet weather, BP gun!

All I’m sayin is he married better than his wife did! HAAARRRUUUUMPHHHH

I’ve wondered the same thing. Was once called clean on a stage, had one round left in a pistol. I called the miss on myself. Then the discussion was did I also have a P as my last pistol shot was definitely on last target. (Not a round count stage). So in reality, I had to have had a P as well as the miss. Determination was 1 Miss no P. But I’m not sure that was the correct call.

We use our “Cody Dixon” targets 2 or 3 at each stage. Generally try to follow the main match sequence with the rifle. Usually 5-6 rounds. Depending on your stage layout, may not be able to shoot the rifle from same location as the main match does. We hosted the Texas State WB match last year, went smoothly. And TR/DB were both well received with several shooters in each. and FWIW the Texas Riviera Pistoleros will again be hosting the Texas State WB match, 5th weekend in March. Come on down & join the fun!
