Hi, what is the call for the following scenario: FCGF shoots 9/10 shots with full smoke, then fires a round that clearly makes no smoke, but it also only goes pop like a magnum primer, not a full smokeless load. Bullet still leaves the barrel and hits the target. Some wanted to call "shooting out of category" because the round clearly didn't make any smoke. Others wanted a No Call because it was equally clear that it wasn't a full power smokeless load.

The Scioto Desperados are dedicating our new stages that were built in honor of three fallen Cowboys. Come on out and join us in honoring Blackjack Beason, Pickaway Tracker and Col. Cord McNally on Sunday, August 29th. Dedication will be at 9:30 am followed by 6 stages of shooting. We may even run an old school stage or two with money bags, etc. in honor of these great cowboys. www.sciotodesperados.com

Way to go Boaz! Nice shootn.

Woohoo! Nice job Stoney.

Congrats Dutch! Posse 2! Enjoyed shooting the week with him.

I have seen that for a popper but the swinger I am thinking about is like a long arm that swings in a circle with the bird held in like two fingers.

I just wiggle my head a slight bit on each shot to put my dominant eye behind each pistol. Kind of a slight tilt back and forth and keep my other eye closed. (Note, so natural now that I had to shoot my imaginary pistols to figure out what I do).

I shot some shotgun swinger targets a few years ago at the Great Nor'Easter. It was an arm that held a clay bird that swung after hitting an activator. I want to make a couple of these. Does anyone have any close-up pictures of these or similar designs? In particular I am curious how the clay pigeon is held into the end.

Hey, Just let me know what kinds of icons you want and I would be happy to send you a bunch for use in anything that can place png which includes word. JLP

I live in Columbus and would be happy to help as well.

Open Category -- Like B-western but without dress requirements. Able to shoot any style on any stage. Any legal gun/gear. My list then would be: Style Categories: Open - shoot anything, any way. Duelist - if you want to only compete against the 1 handers GF - if you want to only compete against the other GF Equipment Modifiers (may modify the Styles above) Cap - if you want to only compete against the other Cap & Ball folks Power Factor - 140+ power factor, compete against the other big boomers. Black Powder - compete against the other smokers B-Western - Restricted version of Open, same as now CC - restricted version of Duelist, same as now but could be modified by BP, or PF above. Age Modifiers (may modify the styles above) Senior - 60+ Elder Statesman - 70+ Junior - 16- So, I want to shoot GF style I could shoot: All the Open categories, GF, B-Western, Cap GF, BP GF, Power Factor GF So I want to shoot Duelist I could shoot: All the Open categories, Duelist, BP Duelist, Cap Duelist, Power Factor Duelist, B-Wester, CC

The data is collected by light sensors. The metal bars and the sky screens are just there to give the optical sensors something to "look at" when it is very sunny out. You can use the chrono without them (or even accidentally shot them off) and it still works if the day is nice and overcast. It measures velocity by the time difference between seeing a dip in brightness on the first sensor to the second sensor. Since that is a known distance you get v = d / delta T.

Scioto Desperados match is cancelled for tomorrow - Sunday, 15th. Weather forecast is miserable. Horizontal rain and cold temps. JLP

I load 38 BP on progressive using the through powder expanding die in one station and then a powder drop in the next station filled with inert material as filler. Drop 1 cc of BP and then fill with a small amount of walnut or grits in next stage to finish the case fill. Can actually go pretty fast this way.

a 16 gauge shotgun hull works as a perfect end cap when you make it out of the 1/2 PVC.
