Just read this all to my husband, Tommy. He can lift arm up (left and he’s right handed) almost totally straight and can reach back but not as far as right hand. He said to wish you GOOD luck and do what they tell you to and you’ll recover well! Hugs and love! Scarlett and Tommy

Howdy @The Surgeon! I saw you on the Florida State Match list! Look forward to seeing you! I also wanted to let you know that I will have a LOT of APP at my booth!! I’ll be glad to share just how much fun it is shooting Frontier Cartridge!! Hugs & see you soon! Scarlett

So sad! I met him right after the Hall of Fame induction at my first and only Founders Ranch EOT. We took a selfie! I said, “you’re famous! Can we take a selfie?” He laughed and we took the picture. I attended WR in 2020 and EOT in 2022 - because of his encouragement. He was a pleasure to work with as a vendor/sponsor. Love and prayers to his family and all who mourn his loss. Scarlett

@Yul Lose Please post the final results of what you build for your friend! I know it will be beautiful and a one of a kind! 😘 Hugs! Scarlett

I’ve seen many a double cocking close discharging GF get Ps here in the southeast. I’ve also been on a Posse with double cocking gunfighters and had RO instructor (and competitor in same category) come and observe said Posse to be sure the Posse upholding the rules which I interpret as “wasn’t cheating for the GF”. THAT was insulting to me as a GF and spotter. I will NOT cheat for ANYONE! Ever! He was following rules. RO Instructor was satisfied. I never forgot it. Hugs! Scarlett

Slippery Stew is an alternator! I double cock and here is why: My BRAIN! I can change leads easier and it works FOR ME! I would rock the guns when I would alternate and don’t double cocking. The fastest gunfighters I know DO alternate. I shot with Savage Sam, Cowboy from Australia at EOT. He shot his ONE pistol SO FAST you’d have thought he had two and was a double cocking GF! I even remarked to my posse mates about it. I can spot for MGM, Bo Dacious, Palmetto Traveller pretty easily because I get how they are gonna shoot it - that’s the problem with other folks spotting for GF in general and double cocking GF specifically. If I’m shooting with new folks or don’t have GF on the posse, I’ll tell the TO how I’m gonna shoot it. I’m not fast like others mentioned but with the BP smoke, spotters get confused and equate the confusion with a P. Confusion is NOT grounds for a P nor does it mean the shooter shot it wrong. Hugs! Scarlett

+ 1 for @Tracker Jack Daniels,58780 my husband had the same surgery in 2018. He, too, spent weeks in the recliner chair. He did EXACTLY what the Dr and PT told him to do - home exercises, too. He has had no lasting issues. He wasn’t a cowboy shooter so shooting wasn’t an issue - the Dr told him it would be a year before he was 100% back to normal. I made sure he stayed AHEAD OF THE PAIN by administering his pain meds about 10 minutes before the hour upon which they were due. Staying ahead of the pain makes the recovery much easier on the patient and his care team! 😉 Tommy had some health issues prior to his surgery - since you’re active and shooting etc you’re probably in better physical health than he was at the time of his surgery. Good luck!! Follow orders! Stay ahead of pain! Hugs!! Scarlett

12 gauge and 357 NMV. I also shot it using my 32 single sixes but made for the 38/357

The fees I pay at EOT have been the same since I first went to Winter Range in 2020. I don’t know of any match, EOT included, that uses vendor fees to help cover match costs - other than the tent/tables etc that I’m actually “renting”. Missed seeing you this year! Hugs! Scarlett

😂🤣😂. I decided not to use ALWAYS…. seemed redundant! 😂😂😂 hugs!

I use the super sizer after I load them all and put them in the can for storage. I use the Ryder sizer on my cart before I put them in my belt. I’ve started using the Buffalo Snot that I sell (full disclosure) and it really does help. There was a post during EOT or right after that someone was having blow by in their shells and the chambers were getting filthy. I’ll use the chamber brush every other stage or after a 6 KD stage and really get any crud out. Being more diligent has helped. Stuck shells cost so much time. Hugs! Scarlett

Cookies! Not necessarily homemade unless @Misses Luck is on your posse but cookies are cookies! Hugs! Scarlett

Yes… ask the vendors you missed seeing. They will probably tell you - there’s some embarrassment to saying “I can’t afford it” or “I barely made expenses” or whatever… sometimes vendors will tell Tommy and me what’s up. I ask them to do the survey and share what’s what - but hardly any do. One year, Rattlesnake Slim told me I was the only vendor who answered the survey. We all saw what last years shooter survey did for this years match, right! It can happen with vendors, too!! Hugs! Scarlett

@The Surgeon Just look at my profile picture. It’s proof that @Bingo Montana speaks the truth. 😉😂🥰

That’s what we’ve ALL said… right before we go full time DARK SIDE! Other than Wild Bunch, I do not remember the last time I shot smokeless for a monthly cowboy match… Come to the Dark Side! We have COOKIES! Hugs & Smoke! Scarlett
