Our club is considering different options for banking & club irs status.
there are several non-profit options. One is 501C (7)our primary goal is to protect range property owners (who are very active shooters) the rest of club officers & membership and not run afoul of the IRS.
what does your club do?

What are these front sight thangs yall are talking about? Some new-fangled gaming device??
we all laugh about not using front sights. Twice I’ve had front sight fall off of a pistol between loading table and firing line. When you skin that smoke wagon and no front sight you quickly realize how much you do use them!!!
like most, I dont get a tight sight picture when shooting at CAS distances. But I do use the sights. I’d suggest you shoot off of a rest, very deliberately to establish your trigger habits. Many will find that too much finger on the trigger will cause groups to shoot low and left (for right handed shooter). Maybe even have a pard shoot your guns as well.

I've heard the initial cost is very low, but the 18+ years of maintenance is outrageous.

How about a P for shooting the pistol knockdowns with the rifle?

Hoss,
The SASS Wild Bunch Forum doesn't use your current username and password from the SASS Wire Forum. You'll have to register anew there. They have different Moderators and Admins there, so I can't help you with that.
Their forum is not as user friendly. I don’t know why.

I’ve shot a lot of 38-55 with Unique. 9.6 grns with a 245 grn bullet in lever, 10.0 with a 260 grn bullet in HiWall.
Sorry, I mis-read! 38-56 vs 38-55!!!
but I bet there is a unique load that will work !

It sounds to me like there is something wrong with your rifle. I have a Winchester 95 made in 1903, first lever gun I ever bought, that is chambered in .30-40. The magazine holds five, and you can close the action on an empty chamber, or put one in the chamber. It works the way you would expect/want it to. Something is absolutely not right if it's jacking out a live round.
The 95 is a great gun, and it's about long overdue time that there is a place for it (and the Savage) in our game, even if it is only in Wild Bunch.
Thanks. I had a suspicion it would hold 5. I’m going to see what I can figure out!

I know this might be better placed in the WB forum, but I can’t seem to get logged on there. (Not sure why it’s not part of this page!)
im looking forward to shooting Teddy Roosevelt category. I have a couple of TR legal rifles. One is an original Win 95 in 30-40 Krag. I bought it several years ago because I just wanted one. Now I can shoot it in a SASS match!
my question, in 30-40 Krag does it hold 5 in magazine? I can load 5, hold the stack down and close lever. But when I rack the lever the first round pops out. I’m not sure if it’s just worn, dirty, broken, or only holds 4. Hoping someone here has one and can give me guidance.
it’s a great rifle, I enjoy shooting it, but having to load one or 2 over the top every stage is a time killer.

Would be tough, but shooter A gets the P+SOG. He admittedly did it to gain time. Shooter B just the P.
as a shooter & TO, if I get lost (Or shooter if I’m TOing) once the P is earned I default to a Nevada sweep.

Why wouldn't it be a legal pocket pistol?
A pocket pistol is a:
small frame,
fixed sight,
pre-1900 design revolver
having a barrel length of four inches or less.
Pocket pistols must be .31 caliber or larger.
Most Velo dogs are <31 caliber. This one appears to have a swing out cylinder.
I have one, folding trigger, unmarked caliber. 32SW won’t fit, I think it is 7mm. Mine does not have swing out cylinder.
but a neat collectible! -

The Henry Big Boy not legal in Classic Cowboy.
I’ve seen a few HBBs at SASS matches. They just don’t work well. 99% of shooters will want to go fast. You just can’t with a HBB. Last one I saw at a match shooter tried to go fast. It jammed. He had lever open, trying to shake cartridge out of gun. Springs & screws started falling out. He finished the match with a borrowed rifle! Never saw the HBB again.
if you have a HBB by all means shoot it. But don’t go buy one.

Your club does that too?
I can go you one worse….. autographed table. Then a “Pard” took the blanket that had the hole in it, had a poncho made out of it and presented it to me at next match. Complete with bullet hole

Its my understanding that a MDQ on side match day is ONLY for that day, but the MDQ is not carried over to the main match, assuming
this is approved by the Match Director/club.
BUT..... a MDQ on the 1st day of a multiple day match IS for the complete match.
Is my understanding correct?
..........Widder
I believe that is correct.

First, I know what the rules say. And I’m talking about a monthly club match, not an annual. What I’m trying to find out is what your club does in this instance.
obviously belligerent attitude, fighting, under influence etc are pack your gear.But suppose shooter has a MDQ, dropped gun, 2 SDQs, maybe shoots a prop/table, maybe had a round of steel shot snuck in his ammo box etc. he is not being reckless, just had some bad happening. Do you allow him to continue to shoot for no score, with the MDQ recorded, or does he have to stop shooting?
I can see & have seen it argued both ways. Does your club allow MD or PM make a call to allow shooter to continue with no score?
biggest issue I see at a club level is consistency from posse to posse, match to match.
FWIW I’m in the pack your guns and help with posse chores. I’ve had MDQs, offered to be allowed to continue shooting but did not.

What size?
I have a pair of size 14 EE Brown boots. Handmade. Paid over $400, they just don’t suit my feet. Would take $200 plus shipping.
if interested send me your txt or email and I’ll send pics and more details. -
Prayers up. I was thinking of him just the other day. Havnt seen him in years.

Harbor freight sells a mini chop saw that works well to cut down 45-70 brass. A guy 3D printed a jig for me to use. Cut them down, use a deburring tool and good to go.
