Hoss

I've had 2 SDQs once for moving with a loaded closed shotgun, another I tripped and fell and dropped an unloaded shotgun. both earned and deserved. the dropped gun or moving are easy, nobody should get their nickers in a twist over that. the more subjective ones, breaking the 180 etc, are a little tougher. usually if somebody breaks the 170 its only for a second, happens fast, and if your angle is not just right, then its a hard one to call. they are easy to see on videos, but harder in real time.

Nothing but good experiences. I've bought and sold guns & gear. Never a problem. The only thing I don't care for us if a seller requests PayPal (for gear, not guns) and ask that I send it as just money to a friend, instead of paying for an item. If you use PayPal services you ought to pay for them!

Great day! Great range! Only going to get better. Thanks to Judge Menday Coming and his bride for allowing the Cabs to rebuild there. They have done a ton in just a few months. Lots more room for development. The property is beautiful. You owe it to yourself to go check it out. Even got to visit with Jim No Horse. Was good to see him, plus I like shooting with him, that way I don't have to worry about finishing last!

Well, I hate to hear this. I met him a year ago if so, bought a rifle from him. He was an upfront guy. Prayers up for his family.

While I would not reload for others, nor use others ammo (except for a very select few) I would think a match worth if shotgun vs a match worth of cartridges would be about right.

The one thing I don't like about them is they are slicker than snot on a doorknob. I didn't necessarily drop them, just harder to manipulate. I guess if I were using a bullet feeder I might like them more. I don't care for the red or pink ones. The ones Colorado Jackson sells are a very dark grey.

You are correct in no "official" SASS rules for Cody Dixon. My understanding is this category was started by the good folks at the Texas Historical Shooting Society, and they made the rules. I have heard some clubs do allow H&Rs. As you said, since its not an official SASS category each club can make their own rules. I have found that the clubs I shoot C-D at use the THSS rules. http://www.thss.org/rules/cody-dixon-rules/ C-D is my favorite category to shoot. Just something about the thump of that big bore rifle. I use a 45-70 Marlin 1895. I have a H&R Buffalo Classic, but it is not legal (at least at THSS) I just bought an 1885 HiWall in 38-55, it would be a "legal" C-D single shot rifle

Not sure about the Henry. I know the H&Rs are not Cody Dixon legal. Given the very simular design, I'm guessing they would not be legal either, but I'm not the one making those rules.

For What???? I was thinking you owed me!!!!!

One has to wonder why they did not make a nice double. Has to be a bigger market for them than a single shot. The rifle would be about like a H&R Handi rifle. Legal for plainsman, not for Cody Dixon.

Found my HiWall, hope to pick it up Saturday. I got a deal I could not resist on a Uberti 38-55. I've ordered brass, bullets dies etc. Can't wait to shoot it! And yes, I've started dreaming about a 40-65....... I have been sight shopping. Narrowed down to MVA or Kelley. Kelley cost a few bucks more, but they are nice looking! I know MVA sights have a great reputation, anybody have experience with the Kelley sights?

several of us S.Texas cowboys are making the trip up. Looking forward to seeing the new range. Also looking forward to seeing my partner Jim No Horse.

It was out if commission, is back up now at www.plumcreekss.org

Sounds good! Will we b Sounds good. Will we be able to post pictures direct?

😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

1860 Henry and 1875 Remington's in 44-40. Or my 66 and Rugers in 38. Maybe all of them!

What ya gonna shoot Bob? I'm thinking I may shoot BP Sharpshooter. Of course, I'm just a young pup, won't be in the old folks posse

thanks for all the info. I cant wait to shoot it!

A Uberti straight stock

I wonder if a heavy blanket or tarp behind the target would work?

Found my High Wall. Now looking for reloading components. Brass, dies, bullets etc. Plus if anybody has any "pet loads" they want to share, please PM me. I am also looking for a set of quality sights for the rifle as well. What has worked well for you?

I have one in 44-40. I mostly use it for WB. Fun rifle to shoot, and I've had zero feeding issues.

I'm more or less in agreement with you on which barrel fires first at a side match. Doubt it matters much. I did have a Bond in 45/410 I could see where you might want to select if you had 45 on 1 barrel and 410 In the other, for defensive purposes.

Looks like I may be in the market soon for a Hiwall. I think they might be the best looking singles shot rifle around. I already shoot 45-70, so that probably makes the most sense as I already have the components, but also considering a 38-55. Probably wont shoot it over 500 yards. Any thoughts on maker, caliber, sights, trigger(s) etc?

when shooting falling plate racks, don't wait for a plate to fall before going on to next plate. go back and pick up any still-standing plates. on a in-line rack, where a plate has to fall to expose the next plate, just keep on shooting. if the plate is not all the way down just hit it again. Just be mindful that you have to have at least 1 bullet for the very last plate!
