When pistols are last, (or stage instructions allow) placing first pistol on table (muzzle down range) not only saves a tad of time, it also eliminates chance of missing holster & either making another stab at it or dropping gun.

Great club, great venue, great weather. Not sure what more a cowboy could ask for! I really liked the raffle too 😀
-
Good luck!

Pulled into range today & set up TT. Weather could not be better. Beautiful Texas spring day. Looking forward to a GREAT match!

I got a bunch of #9 at a garage sale. I mixed it with 71/2. Probably didn’t need to!

Unique if you can find it. It’s occasionally available. I got lucky, basically have a lifetime supply! You can load any cowboy gun with it, from 32SW to 45-70. Plus shotgun. I also use a lot of Bullseye, and Red Dot. These “older” powders are very versatile.

None better than Missouri Marshal. And he is great to work with. Tell him what you want, he makes them, ships them with an invoice.

I just bought one for my D550 for loading rifle rounds.

If memory serves,(I’m at work, don’t have my data present) I think 4.5 for 45 Colt.

My brother used to say I should just wear the boxes his boots came in! I have big, wide feet. 14EE I’ve been wearing Twisted X brand. these have proven to be most comfortable for me. https://www.bootbarn.com/twisted-x-mens-distressed-saddle-hiker-boots/038F56.html?sku=27041800100&colorCode=41&glCountry=US&glCurrency=USD&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADt14tVQTBCeKokMZgG6Tpiikcmvn&gclid=CjwKCAjw7pO_BhAlEiwA4pMQvMfUonXsMV37-vUjzuHBYNMOkUXCq2xWv9wNfUbA4fUgmDopMBv6vhoCoiUQAvD_BwE

Bond. Pretty easy to lighten up hammer spring. (They come with one from a 59 Buick!)

I’ve never had that issue. I’ve shot in really cold weather. Sometimes down in the 30s here in S Texas 😁! And all the way to 100F+🔥

3.0 with 105-130s for me. I’ve loaded thousands. Bullseye is a good powder. Not temp or position sensitive. Regular or magnum primer. An 8lb jug goes a looooong way. 18,666 rounds!

Looking for a reinforced 1866 Uberti loading gate
Hoss replied to Jackson Haller's topic in SASS Wire
VTI should have it. -
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.
