Quiet Burp

Thank you kindly cowboys one and all, sure do appreciate you taking the time out to help this ol' cowboy.

Thank you very kindly Yul Lose its very much appreciated. If I could also impose on you to give me the measurements of your wild rag that would be great as well.

How do you tie your wild rag? Has anyone got a pic of how they wear theirs?

Abilene I wish we shot closer, I reckon the older age group we're in the closer the targets should be

These look close to me (could be that the floor is higher than the outside ground?) and our SG targets are always further than our pistol targets.

I watch a lot of SASS on Youtube, our (down here) pistol targets are always 7-10 yards and rifle targets 13+ yards. It seems like a lot of U.S clubs shoot a lot closer than that? (Or its the camera angle that makes the targets look closer????).

Thanks all I appreciate the replies, I do tend to hit the steel pretty good in the 'heat of battle' of a match. Surprised though how low they print on paper with very aimed shots. Just ordered some 158gr pills to see if it makes a difference, loath to alter my front sights just yet as with the powder supply shortage down here, I have a lot of powder, but not a lot of ONE powder.

I have Ruger NMV ..357's that I shoot .38 125gr pills out of them with a chronographed average 800fps. Very slowly aimed target firing they always print very low. Somewhere in my cognitive memory I think that I have read somewhere that 158gr pills will print higher, is this correct or am I mistaken?

Thanks gents.

Did my wife get me the right one for wet washing (with pins) my cases or should it have been blue?

A match ago I had a newbie (first time shooting SA) and another member of our club had lent the newbie his firearms to use and was shadowing him through the entire stage. Handguns were staged first, then a move to the right for the staged rifle, then another move to right for the staged shotgun. After the newbie fired both pistols (5 rounds out of each and both empty) he placed them back onto the table (now the newbie was taking all this very slowly between movements which was good and what we had asked for) as he slowly started to move to the rifle stage the lender of the firearms who was shadowing the newbie and right next to him picked up the pistols and holstered them (to carry them holstered following the newbie through to the unloading table) newbie then shot his rifle stage, then his shotgun stage all the time shadowed by the lender and then to the unloading table where the lender unholstered the pistols onto the unloading table stepped back and let the newbie go and get the rifle first and then the shotgun and bring them to the unloading table and proceed to unload under the unloading table officer.. Was it ok for the lender to holster the newbies pistols to carry them through the stage to the unloading table?

THANK YOU!!!!

Got a hankering to put a row of brass tacks on both sides of the forearm wood of my 1874 Sharps. I keep putting the thought of, but it keeps surfacing so its a serious hankering. I have now ordered three lots of 100% 'brass tack' off the internet. Unfortunately they all stick to a magnet. Could anyone who has added brass tacks to their stock or forearm on a rifle please let me know where you purchased them from?

How many rounds would you put through your '73's before you would feel the need to do a deep clean?

My Grandson and I shoot (share) a '73 Uberti lever gun, its a .357 but we shoot .38's. Two years since I've bought and its had a lot of ammo through it now. This is a lot different than taking a bolt out of a bolt gun to clean. It needs cleaning, can some kind folks walk me through how the easiest method is to clean a '73? When I say the easiest, the one where hopefully I'll have no parts on the kitchen table when its back together Thank you very much.
