Considering heat and probably a current lax in dress code, perhaps stage description should have emphasized on head, or an option. Even in cooler weather "on head" instructions might be best although we assume hat is position should be on head.

Birdshead to plow handle conversion grips
Billy Boots, # 20282 LTG-Regulator replied to Leathersmith's topic in SASS Wire
Very nice. I have two sets of grip frames, plow & round, for several pairs of my favorite revolvers. Seems I just get the notion to change every couple of years. Suspect these grips are not cheap but WAAAAY cheaper that complete set of grip frames with grips. Very inventive and appears to be fine quality. -
EOT 2027 Applications
Billy Boots, # 20282 LTG-Regulator replied to Rattlesnake Slim's topic in SASS Wire
Kind of cool to see the list posted. I have been making all EOTs since my first in 2000, I have sure got first hand experience in "the cut",. I certainly understand the collapsing as I have followed it for so long. I have shot FCD since 2004 when the category was in its second year.. Since age-base division has come into play and since God has blessed me with ability to continue to compete and enjoy the great sport I am now about to enter at 81. It is almost comical when I think of a El Patron Frontier Cartridge Duelist World Champion category. And, usually who ever calls me to deliver the sad news that there is only one person (me) entered in that category, well we can chuckle about it, But then the collapse begins, and goes on and on and on. While I do think pulling a shooter "of age" down four places is a bit stiff, it is the rules and I live with them (the cookie crumples). If I am called to awards platform then it feels well deserved being up there with them young whippersnappers. If there, I am not usually alone as there are usually some other old friends like Stoney, Coffee, Roadrunner, and Four Bucks there too. Hey, I will be the oldest of that bunch and proud of it. Got a feeling this EPFCD may be in a SFCD for 2027 but maybe I'll get lucky and be SSFCD. -
did that for 22 years. Cowboy has already lasted longer.

Minute???? Took me over 20 years. I have been testing APP, thanks to TJD, for several weeks in rifle and revolver. (O, and a Scarlet color 105 bullet) I shot my first match with the APP load last Saturday at 10horns. For smokeless, I am also back to shooting TiteGroup after years of Clay and Clay Dot use. Yes, the "bright color" bullet.

Cooling Fan for Gun Cart (maybe)
Billy Boots, # 20282 LTG-Regulator replied to John Kloehr's topic in SASS Wire
I have been thinking another cordless fan myself. I have good many Milwaukee M18 tools and batteries. I have a small M18 fan I use at range when practicing but it isn't really enough. There is now a M18 18" much like 20" Ryobi. Ryobi best buy and perhaps better unit in specs however with addition need of couple batteries and charger I am better sticking with M18 fan. Even M18 with battery would be about same as the Ryobi package. I usually have extra M18 battery near so I'm inclined me to make the M18-18" purchase. Battery fans are sure nice to have and most allow AC connections also. -

Shotgun hulls
Billy Boots, # 20282 LTG-Regulator replied to Billy Boots, # 20282 LTG-Regulator's topic in SASS Wire
These are not that old but I do remember those. That dull look got me in habit of wiping them with something like Ballistol. I actually still do. Not a bad habit. -

How you know old from new. Bet these I am using were from rebate days but you may be meaning even older. -
Shotgun hulls

35/1 oz is current T7-3f load. TJD loaded me some APP sg and I believe that is about the load. He cuts and cards which makes nice load. Saw Yusta B last Saturday at CBeaux's. enjoyed visit. -

good info. I just switched to APP-3f in shotgun for BP loads and trying it with .358-105s from Scarlett for rifle and revolver. Looks impressive for all.
