I like Scarlett's way, but just for entertainment, as a gunfighter starting with my left hand I would shoot:

I'm going to write a stage with a "litigious" sweep. That's where you have to pick someone else to represent you and pay them five bucks to use unnecessary words to confuse you and everyone else while you try and shoot the stage. There must be at least five objections to any misses, one motion to dismiss with prejudice if there is a procedural, and one defense rests at the last shot. All other confusion is subject to the imagination of the participants.
I think you just invented a new team side match.

When I was brand new to gunfighter I asked @Widder, SASS #59054 and @Jackalope if they had any advice. They both unflinchingly said the same thing.

Don't forget to put the fp spring back in when ya reassemble it.
If you do forget, you may not know until the next cleaning. It works fine without that spring.

I don't have an obsession with inefficiency into the computer era. I pay all my bills online as well. I do have a checking account for personal or some other things I pay by check. My concern is the clubs collecting the money online. Like I said it's more work and it will not happen overnight! I take offense to you painting me as some stone age person against computers. You obviously didn't read what I've said. I'm not against modernizing clubs at all.
My apologies. I clearly read too much into your comments on this thread. Glad to hear you're with us on this.

Maybe but for now most all clubs do it this way, so I suggest the people that don’t like this method just suck it up for now and in the meantime try and help to modernize the clubs. This won’t happen overnight my friend .
As it turns out, we don't need to suck it up, while we try to drag folks who share your apparent obsession with inefficiency into the computer technology era. (An era started by people who were young in the 1960s).
I don't own any checks. I use online banking. If your club wants a check from me, you still get it in the mail....but from my bank.
When a club wants me to print and mail an application, I fill it out on a computer, and attach it to an email. The email basically says that the application is attached and watch your mailbox for the check coming from my bank in a week or so.
Most of the clubs who are asking for paper applications in the mail have somebody entering all that information into a computer. Mine can be copied and pasted.....faster and more accurate than transcribing.
By the way, for context, I'll turn 55 in May.

What happened to 349?

I just now googled "insurance for shooting sports" and it looks like there are many options. Interestingly, the NRA isn't on the first page. I did not look beyond that.

Maybe I should call it a “pick two” or a “Doubles Loading” belt. What bees the nomenclature?“Pick two” reminds me of the Three Stooges eye poke skit.
The other thing I thought of is placement. Seek the belt in the Merchants area or the buy sell feature the Wire has.
I believe most people refer to the loops; as in a single, or double, Loop belt. (Or in my case a combination of single loops and double loops that I think makes my grab 4 easier). Only single and double are SASS legal. Loops that hold more than 2 shotshells are not allowed.
Yes, posting a WTB (want to buy) in the classifieds section of this forum would be a good way to find something.

COC Reply - I asked on the wire about who made a double up belt or slide
Not one reply
That might be because your post didn't actually ask about anything. It just expected the reader to know what you were referring to. Also, I'm not sure if people call what you are looking for a "double up belt". That's not a phase I've ever heard before.
Some people wear two belts; their gun belt and a shotshell belt (or shotgun belt).
Others prefer an all in one belt that holds the holsters as well as loops for shot shells. "All in one" is the phrase I've heard.
Then there is the option for a "slide", which is a piece with shotshell and/or cartridge loops that attaches (slides unto) your existing belt.
Any leather worker who makes gun belts will be able to make any of those options.

Cuz I didn't think of that.
Can you even do that?Yes. You most certainly can.
From the Reload Choices document:
"It is also acceptable for a shooter to replace defective (bad primer?) rounds in a cartridge revolver in order to successfully complete a stage. Even if a revolver has a “squib” (effectively putting that firearm out of commission), the shooter MAY reload the functioning revolver to finish the shooting string after making the malfunctioning firearm safe."

In the above video, on that particular day, I had decided to shoot "old" guns.
The Parker 20 gauge was made in 1921
The Colt Bisleys were made in 1901 and 1904, and the Colt Lightning was made in 1897.
All are .32-20's
I had a clean match going until that stage, and really wanted to save it. For someone like me, who can be timed with a sundial (As has been accused) shooting a clean match is always the number one goal. I was rather miffed at that one pesky round that would not go bang, which is why I really tried to save it. Oh well.
If I recall correctly there was dimple in the primer. I don't know why it didn't go off. Later, between stages, I loaded it into the rifle and it did indeed go bang. Same primer as all the other rounds. Musta been unusually hard for reasons unknown. I will always remain a mystery.Anyway, I had FUN that day, and that's always the most important thing.
And, 100 second plus stages are actually not something I worry about. I figure if I can do it in 45 seconds, I have done very well for me.
I can't help but ask... Why didn't you reload the second pistol to save the clean stage?

If SASS had multiple "P,s" for a shooter, whether brain fade, intentional, etc., then there would not be any time wasted on whether to give them an SOG.
The "cheaters" would learn really quick not to try and cheat. The other shooters would listen to the TO on what to do next if they get out of "sync."
It's not that complicated. "If you earn it, you get it."
Example: 4 targets. Stage calls for a 10 round Nevada sweep starting on either end, double tapping the outside targets.
Our shooter forgets the double taps, and just shoots a single tap Nevada sweep.
Under the current rules that shooter would earn a P on the second shot, and probably not know until they were finished that they had done anything wrong.
With unlimited Ps that shooter would earn 8 procedural penalties, because only their 1st and 8th shots were on the correct targets.
Let's not venture down that road

I also own a Henry Large Frame in 45-70 that i know is approved.
Per the SHB your 45-70 is legal for long range competition. It is not a legal caliber for a main match. Only calibers commonly found in revolvers of the time are legal for main match competition.

One person above mentioned taking a mould of your chamber. Learning the chamber length is critical. If you want to hit where you're aiming, your finished cartridges should to match the full and complete length of the chamber. In fact, it's a good thing if it takes just a tiny bit of force to seat the cartridge.
DO NOT full length resize your brass. You only need to expand as deep as the bullet will seat, and use the smallest possible flare. You may find that after you use a piece of brass one time, you don't need to expand at all, and only a tiny flare is needed to seat the bullet. That's ideal, as that brass is now fire formed to perfectly fit your chamber.

I don't need the dog food, but where do I sign up for all the coupons you seem to get in your email?

Been a while since there was a freebie posted here. Just won a code for an order of "Little Caesar Crazy Bread no additional purchase required, sauce not included" I don't eat there myself so if someone here wants it you can have it.
I love that stuff. I'll take it if you still have it.
