     Especially my favorite, the 4506. 

    Love that gun and it's double action too. You could put a 1911 inside the gun. I also have its little brother, the 5906. Yes, steel is heavier, but steel will be around forever but who knows about plastic.

    When I was in school way back in the 50's and 60's, it was kindergarten, elementary, junior high and high school. High school was sophomore, junior and senior. My kids graduated in 86 and 88 and it was the same for them. 

    But when you were in school, it was much easier.....you only had to memorize 13 presidents.:P:D:P

    🇺🇸 Annie and I attended this past year, first time for us.  This club is on their A game putting on the match.  The unseen background work and daily logistics were spot on creating a great time for all who participated.  The tail end of Hurricane Helene made its presence known with rain throughout the match.  No one paid attention and no spirits were dampened.  All shooting bays are under cover and there is a paved parking lot to set the mobil house on.  There is a kitchen at the upper range that serves up awesome food and each shooter is given a voucher to use there.  The provided dinner was second to none and there were enough door prizes that everyone made two trips to the prize table.  

    My friend, Dawg told me this year is the 30th anniversary of the match and planning is in the works to make this one even better than before.

    Fun and entertaining stages, super shooting venue, good food and incredibly friendly people.  What more could a cowboy ask for.

    If you miss this one, you'll be missing something special.

    My unsolicited and unpaid for $.02.

    Regards,

    Chas B🤪

     

    This is the best " Bang for the Buck" shoot anywhere.

  6. Howdy Pards,

    The Magnificent Seven of Classic Cowboy/Cowgirl are now taking nominations for Classic Cowboy of the Year and Classic Cowgirl of the Year. Who do you know that exemplifies the Classic Category. I don't want just, "They dress great and help out everybody". Heck fire, that describes all of us in the category. Who among us lives, eats and breathes the Classic tradition. We're looking for dedicated Classics who shoot Classic exclusively and not category shoppers. We want to know what that Cowboy/girl does to promote SASS and Cowboy Action Shooting and most important, the Classic Category itself. This is an honor among Classic shooters since 2010 and has honored 29 of our cowboys/girls since then. They will be honored at a special gathering of Classics at Land Run 2025. Please submit your nominations here on the wire, PM or email a member of the Magnificent Seven of Classics or talk to them personally at your event. Let us know why this Cowboy or Cowgirl best represents our category. Past recipients and members of the current Mag7 are not eligible for nomination. Current Mag7 members are Dutch Coroner, Cowtown Scout, GW Ryder, Hot Tamale, Ruby Red Ryder, Sixgun Seamus and Pony Soldier. I will list past recipients in a following post.

  7. +1 for the Mec 9000. Although I have shot guns most of my life, I had fired less than 200 shotshells until I started shooting Cowboy. I started with a Lee Load All. When my wife started shooting with me I picked up a used MEC 9000 from Gunbroker for reasonable price. Loaded for 8 or 9 years till I wore out one part. Sent for new parts and installed them and did something wrong and it wouldn't work at all. I called MEC and ended sending it to them for a rebuild. One month later I had a loader that loads perfect shells. When they are adjusted and working properly, they are a dream and can crank out a whole bunch of shells in no time. If you're not paying attention and something goes wrong, that's when the problems start, but that can happen with any machine. I like my 9000.

    Using expeditors and good posse marshals keeping the stages flowing is critical.

    Flat Top Okie

    BINGO!!! Here is the key to it all. Too many matches I go to the TO thinks that every piece of brass needs picked up and every target needs reset and then look around a couple times before they call the next shooter. The TO is responsible for the operation of the posse whether it is keeping things moving or keeping brass picker out of the way. I often get accused of rushing things, but when the shooter has the stage, they have the right to take as long as they want. When the shooter picks up his guns from the line, then the stage belongs to me and I will do what is necessary to keep things moving. Does EOT need to be one of the last lost brass matches? That is not my call. I attend both Land Run and EOT and both run smoothly when both the TO's and posse does their job. I have been a Posse Marshal at EOT and a TO at almost every match that i attend. Misty has proposed an optional online TO class. PLEASE MAKE IT HAPPEN!! Just because you can push a button on a timer doesn't make you a TO.

    Shooter nodded his head, Stand by, beep, shooter had a train wreck, then blamed me for starting him before he was ready. Gave a re-shoot

     

    That there is a big pile of horsey do-do. The shooter has NO obligation to start if he is not ready. Same goes for a restart if no round down range. Shooter was taking advantage of a self imposed screwup.

  10. I think lines are part of the fun of the game and this is supposed to be fun. That being said, whatever the shooter does to indicate ready is fine with me. Whenever someone asks what the line is, I always respond, "Seamus is my hero". I've had quite a few say it.
