    How does somebody become a "Jedi"?   I've visited the website but the process is not clear and the contact information provided does not appear to be monitored.  

     

    @Widder, SASS #59054 is referenced but I can't contact via SASSNET PM or using the email provided by the Jedi website.  

     

     


    If you meet this criteria:

     

    Required Criteria - 

    1. Must have SASS Range Officer status (RO I or RO II)
    2. Must have shot Gunfighter at least ONE year, preferably the most recent year.

    General Criteria - at least one of the following, PLUS being an all-around good member of SASS/CAS:

    1. have won a match shooting Gunfighter (min 5 stages)
    2. have shot a clean match shooting Gunfighter (min 5 stages)
    3. be an Ambassador, either by deed and/or attitude. Generally understands the rules in what is acceptable as a Gunfighter.
    4. ANY intangible that makes a shooter 'A Cut Above' as a Gunfighter.

     

    Then send a message or email to Widder and ask.

    (he’ll probably be along to this thread soon since you tagged him). 

  2. How heavy are your bullets and what nose shape are you running. I’ve had that happen running light bullets(165gr) in my .44-40s. Runs much better with >200gr round nose flat point. 
     

     

    I’ve had to replace the extractor on both Burgesses I have owned, weak and easily bent.

    Moccasins aren’t legal for B Western or Classic Cowboy, so soles don’t really matter here.

     

     

     

     


    I know, got interrupted while typing and hit submit too quick…

     

    I’m actually looking at some myself now, lol!

    What kind of soles did you get on yours? It looks like he offers 3 or 4 different options. It's hard to tell if the "Athletic" ones are too Luggy on bottom for SASS from the photos on the website. 

     


    The “luggy” soles would be fine for SASS in general; just wouldn’t work for B-Western or Classic Cowboy categories.

  5. How dare you call me dirty! I’ll have you know I took a bath just last week!  Oh wait, you were referring to the firearms…

     

    Great to talk with you again and I do appreciate you and the other Frontiersmen letting me have the blind spotters so I could have a clean match.

    On another note, I think @T-Square ought to have a column in The Chronicle. 

    100% agree.

    This is the gold standard for cowboy shooting, well run, good stages, lots of options, an excellent banquet, extra on range entertainment. We had another great time this year, Got to shoot with old friends and made some new ones. We will be back next year.


    Fantastic match! You’re a great posse marshal, glad I finally got to shoot with you!

  7. I cock both when I draw them, then alternate cock; so I guess yes cocking one while shooting the other.
     

    I figure out how I’m shooting my rifle and shoot the pistols the same way(unless the sequence is different for some reason) so I guess I’m target counting.

    Oh, I agree that from a practical standpoint, the Mares Leg type pistol has none whatsoever.

    But from a FUN standpoint, you can hardly beat them.

    I really need to add this one to the above picture...

    86MaresLeg.jpg.3527a4b22caf1222877c9325055bc6cf.jpg

    That's am 86, made by Chiappa, with a 16.6" barrel., and yes, it's a .45-70, but it will work with the cartridge on the left, a .45-70 cut back to .45 Colt length.  I call it the .45-45.

    If the SHORT act passes, this barrel will shorten to just in front of the takedown lever, and the 73 (A Taylors with a 16.5" barrel, will likely shorten to 12"

     

    And if the SHORT act passes, maybe a "real" Marlin Mare's leg would be in the making.   I don't know.
     


    Oh, you gotta trim those cases to 1.850(47mm) and call it a .45-47…
