I’ve had rugged gear carts. They are decent. But the Range Tactical is better in my opinion. Much sturdier.

I’d think the radar would not care about the smoke!
I’ve not tried mine with BP, but I gotta say, they work really well with smokeless. Simple to set up. No risk of shooting it.-

I’ve shot a lot of Cody Dixon. My preferred sights are a full buckhorn and and a slip on front rifle sight. I use the buckhorn basically as a ghost ring peep sight. The big front sight, at CD distances works. Quick target acquisitions.

I used to shoot a double trigger Baikal. We had a stage with 2 swinger shotgun targets. Scenario called for 2 on each. (No prohibition on double taps). I elected to try to fire both barrels at once.m, double tapping the targets. Was not until after the stage when a live round was found ,along with 3fired rounds) on the ground. Obviously I did not realize both triggers had not been pulled!

I’ve been wet tumbling, no pins. Just water and some brass cleaning solution. (Gonna try simple green). I tumble a couple of hours, rinse, put in dehydrator and they come out shining like a diamond in a goats behind.

I gave a Marlin 336 in 44 Mag. Nice rifle. I got it for WB. (Which I don’t shoot anymore!) but it’s a fine rifle. I suspect if I took up hunting it would be a top contender for deer or especially hogs.

I’ve been pretty fortunate at raffles. I’ve won a total of 25 guns! Pocket pistols, derringers, shotguns, all sorts of single action revolvers, a couple of 73s, cap and ball setups, 3 1911s, several 22 rifles, several Ruger Wranglers , a Henry in 30-30. most recently a nice pair of SS Ruger New Vaqueros. I think the only ones I still have is a 1911 and a really crappy looking Iver Johnson pocket pistol. Barrel was bobbed, plating is flaky, but it functions perfectly! What I’d really like is a nice vintage Colt SAA (or even a pair!) but I’m happy with whatever I win. I generally buy $100 worth of tickets at an annual match. I’m well ahead of the game!

You can buy a bunch of 3D printed bushings on eBay for the price of one MEC bushing. They work fine.

Many clubs in Texas shoot Cody Dixon. Main match rifle replaced with rifle caliber rifle. Min .30 cal. Targets are further out, depends on how much room the range has. Typically 6 rounds per stage. Shotgun & pistols same as everyone else. My home club targets are 40 yds or so, so not that far, but mixed in trees so harder to see/hit. Other clubs I shoot at have them as far out as 75 yds or so.

Did you make up that design?
Actually I had intended to order it with belt and main holsters tan with basket weave, and the accents on lip and band would be brown. I probably confused Dan as I changed my mind about 47 times. But I like it as it turned out!

Leather only. I’ve had the big horn grips for several years.

Thanks Dan!

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.

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.
