There is no a smokeless powder available at PRESENT that an online retailer could sell for less than $40. The prices they have listed for the Accurate powders are below what dealer cost would be. I didn’t even look at primers. Plus, they are in NJ where costs are much higher… I would not gamble my hard earned money on a likely scam. PLUS!!! They take Stripe/Paypal. Neither of those companies allows sales of firearms, or powder or anything related to shooting. Hugs! Scarlett

That is so cool! Thanks for sharing! Hugs! Scarlett

Well there’s the party pooper in this crowd! 🤣 I like it as a bonus because I can hit them most all the time. And, shooting BP the bonus helps. In all seriousness, having to hit a flyer or miss a clean match is simply not worth disappointing people who have options for their weekend activities. Clean matches matter to a LOT of people and, not all places use flyers on an even occasional basis. I understand the argument, I do, but attendance and happy shooters are what’s at the heart of THIS game. Hugs! Scarlett PS Bragging here… last year at Fire & Brimstone BP NIGHT shoot, I was the ONLY clean shooter because I hit all the static targets AND the flyer. I’d spotted and realized folks were shooting at it while it was in the smoke… I waited til it was above it. Other shooters got the flyer but had misses on static Target. 😊

@Cowtown Scout, SASS #53540 L @Dogmeat Dad, SASS #48563L and others from “away” came to the SC State Match April 10-12. It was such fun! Perry Weinberg, Old Man Winter, is our local photographer. He has posted the photos on his Facebook.com/weinbergstudios page that you can grab and use for social media. For high resolution you can buy downloads for not much. https://weinbergstudios.smugmug.com/? There are some really good and fun pictures!! Next year, the SC Match will be hosted by the Geechee Gunfighters at Palmetto Gun Club, Summerville, SC the Fourth Saturday of April. Join us! Hugs! Scarlett PS. This was my favorite picture he took! click on the picture if you can’t see the whole thing!

CJ made this hat from my idea and I love it! And I love CJ, too! He’s a fine young man!

Cool! Can’t wait to see you! Another cool place to visit in Charleston is Drayton Hall. https://draytonhall.org It survived the Civil War intact because it was used as a hospital for Union soldiers. It’s super cool feature is the plaster ceiling medallions and work! They raised the floor on the second so as not to disturb the ceiling. The first time went there I was maybe 18-20? And I loved it! That says something! Middleton Place Gardens is another. Im sure I’ll come up with other ideas for you. Safe travels. Hugs! Scarlett

What are you doing after SC? Hanging around for a bit? Look forward to seeing you! Hugs!

No kidding! They set the bar SUPER high! I’ve always thought it would be fun to have one of the old school buses like George Jones and Tammy Wynette had back in the day to travel!Throw in @Boggus Deal #64218 and Lt Dan? GOLDEN! 🥰😂 Hugs! Scarlett

I won’t be there. I can ship a lever … I can also give one to Fast Eddie. I’ll see him before the SW Regional. 🥰 Hugs! Scarlett

Hooray!! I think I forgot you were coming SC!! Excited to see you! Hugs! Scarlett my schedule must remain fluid because of Tommy’s sight etc however, the plan is: but know we will not be able to do them all. We are pretty firm up til Spring Round Up. FL, SC, DE, Spring Round Up, maybe GA, No Man’s Land Ladies Match, TN, ND/SD, nothing in late June or July. Guns of August, Fire and Brimstone, VA, NY, SERegional, Land Run, NC. It’s so hard to try to pull back and not be able to travel like we used to… but I have to prioritize my honey’s needs.

We call them yellow bits GRITS down south! It’s not harmful… just a product of lower velocities. Now when you see the yellow bits, you and @Eyesa Horg will think of me and GRITS! It’s also know to stand for Girls Raised In The South 😉😂🥰 Hugs! Scarlett

Did Fast Eddie have any ideas?

Excellent post, my friend! I enjoyed EOT for a lot of reasons that had little to do with the shooting. As for the shooting, I won my category and fought for it after a rough first day. So, I’m happy. My “issues” with EOT stages were the 1) writing, 2) some had very long runs (I need the exercise so I was ok but some folks with mobility issues or short legs had difficulty) and some funky sweeps that didn’t flow and not enough shooter options. I like being able to start different guns/places and these were pretty prescribed. I would like a MIX. The middle stages could be 4 stages and leave the saloon out. It’s my least favorite stage. The kicker: if you want to shoot in the World Championships? You gotta go to EOT. Hugs! Scarlett

Wow! @Fireball #7709 Life wouldn’t scam anyone. I would also imagine that he doesn’t use PayPal, Zelle or others like them because they will NOT support/allow firearms parts, projectiles, powder, ammunition sales and, if these processors have access to your bank account, PayPal for one, can go BACK SIX MONTHS and ding you for disallowed payments. I know because we had PayPal before cowboy action and tried to cancel the whole account. PP would not until 6 months had passed. Glad @Randy Saint Eagle, SASS # 64903 didn’t take the bait! You and Fireball are two treasures in this game! Hugs! Scarlett PS: Square, Stripe, Zelle, PayPal, GoDaddy Payments DO NOT ALLOW payments for the kinds of things we all buy. They actively work against our gun rights. If Larry Potterfield won’t accept it, it ain’t no good! 😉

Boy! I am sure glad all these fellas came through for you! I’ve been cleaning all of the Arizona DUST out of my Guncart! It’s been a chore but my cart looks like new! Thanks to everyone for your input and @Sedalia Dave for the bushing chart!! Big SMOKY hugs! Scarlett Oh And I use an adjustable charge bar ALL the time. Because I’m super ADD and cannot remember which way to turn the dial, I weighed out 42gr of powder (APP) and and ounce of shot (8s, too. @Bingo Montana) and placed it on table - very flat surface. Dialed the bar in until it “comfortably” held the powder. Weighed out an ounce of shot and did the same thing. Put the bar back in and checked it. Made minor adjustments. I use an ounce and #8s so that just in case I’m off just a smidge with my shotgun, more shot going down range increases the chances that some MIGHT catch the target enough to knock it down. HUGS!
