  1. The answer is highlighted. Once the first round has gone down range, you can't decock. The penalty would have been returning a cocked pistol to leather. The fix is to pull the trigger and allow the hammer to fall, unimpeded.
  2. Check the schedule. No Plainsman this year.
  3. And that means after the shooting string, all 10 shots, if from the same position.
  4. No call If there was a shell in the chamber, it would have go bang when they pulled the trigger. Safe for movement, open, closed on empty or expended.
  5. I use these guys a lot. Lead Shot for Reloading , Ballast weight
  6. You trying to clean or polish? I've used a rotary tumbler with ceramic media and dawn soap. Works on anything.
  7. Boots are ONLY required in B Western and Classic Cowboy. Overalls are legal. Gunfighters can use any type rig they want. B Western must use a rig where "no part of the revolver may extend above the belt" As to the sight issue, fixed sights are required. Pretty sure canada allows fixed sights.
  8. You stated " The highest number of Procedurals by any single posse on a stage was 6, and two out of 36 managed that. We also had one posse get only one Procedural for the whole entire match!" Ahhh, I see what you're saying. The Stage with the highest number of P's for a single posse was Stage 6. Stage 6 had a total of 33 P's. At 88 P's, Stage 3 averaged 2.44 P's per posse. Overall, 427 P's is 11.86 P's per posse for the match. I'm thinking, Stage 6, most P's were for not restaging long gun parallel to red board. Based on that scenario, that red board was not needed anyway because there was no way restaging the long gun would result in sweeping anyone, including the TO, Shooter, and Spotters. A reason was given, at the Posse Walk, that spotters might walk between the back side of the prop and the berm to get a better view. Well, to eliminate that problem, a split rail fence, or even a rope, would have kept wanderers from that.
  9. Just a question. Bordertown Applications used to come out on Sundays so we could have them all printed out, stuffed in envelopes and ready to go for the Monday mail. Has this changed, and if so, why? That was part of Bordertown excitement.
  10. Don't know where you're getting your information from but, the Misses and Procedurals page from EOT Results shows Stage 3 as having 88, Stage 1 having 77, Stage 4 having 74, Stage 9 having 37.
  11. Be seeing you in a few months. Putting the rancho on sale soon and are actively looking in your neck of the woods. See you at WR
  12. Work on my android phone, dell desktop and laptop computer, nook reader, asus tablet. Could be operator error.
  13. Or, you could ask the Marine at the gate. Not the "rent a gate keeper" but a real, US Military representative. The SP's might let you lock it up in their shop. Again, don't ask the civilian at the gate, ask someone in uniform.
  14. Had a 650 Bonneville back in the '70s. Sold it when I went in the navy. Sure wish I still had it. Enjoy pard.

  16. Was in Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England last September and October. Drove from Dublin to Galway with site trips to Newgrange, and Tullamore. Toured the Tullamore DEW distillery and stayed in a B&B there. Next day on to Galway and a B&B there with a couple of side trips to see castles. Tour train through Galway and some shopping. Drove to the little town of Cong, just north of Galway. It's where they filmed the Quiet Man with John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara. Lovely place. Had a dinner at Dunguaire Castle just south of Galway. Great time that. Then drove to Waterford on the southeast coast. Toured the Waterford Crystal place, stayed at a B&B. Drove back to Dublin and hit the Guiness Brewery and the Jameson Distillery. All the time we were stopping at pubs for Irish Music Sessions and local flavor. Great time. Note - Nobody serves breakfast. No restaurants open before noonish. We're country people and get up early to see the sights, no food until lunch. Bring your own or you'll be hangry. Folks eat at home or, if your a tourist, at the B&B. Flew to Wales and stayed at a B&B in Cardiff for two nights. Drove to LLantrasant to see where the Black Army was founded in the 1600's. This is where the English(welsh) Long Bowman came from. The ones that won at Agincourt and Cercey. Then via train to Glasgow, rent a car and drove to Stirling and the Wallace Monument (yes, I climbed all the stairs). Drove to Inverness to see the Queen of Blings peoples castle in Cawdor. Then back down the north side of Loch Ness to see my peoples ruins (we backed the wrong king). Back to Glasgow then train back to Cardiff and the same B&B then drove to Windsor via Stonehenge. A day trip to London (too crowded for this old boy) and then home. In all 28 days. We'll do it again but stay in Ireland for more music and fun. We did our own planning, reservations, flights, cars, B&B's etc. Enjoyed the heck out of it.
