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.

ill admit im guilty - ive shot high for years so i start out aiming low to compensate and stay on target
btw - its also not all that significant at our distances , save perhaps the rifle if you have issues there , but we are not shooting at 100 yds , i seldom give my sights all that much attention on the clock , yes it costs me sometimes nbut after you aquire the target they are of a size and distrance not to need a lot of science
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?

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?

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.

Appreciate the replies.

How long has a shooter got on the line to try and fix a gun breakdown or malfunction on the line before the T.O calls enough?

a double duelist if they're right handed slows down a bit and isn't as accurate with his left hand. A regular duelist is shooting strong hand
Hey....you agree with me !!!!

Pressure rises very quickly (very non-linearly) as the charge weight increases - sometimes "explosively"
good luck, GJ
Thank you for the reply, I'm loading .38spl right on the knocker of maximum at 3.5gr Garrison Joe on my Dillon.
I have diligently weighed charges and the Dillon can throw below charge of 3.4gr or an above charge of 3.6gr occasionally.I find it a very nice light recoiling load in my Vaqueros, very pleasant to shoot and not arthritis aggravating.
I'm more of a reader on the Wire than a poster and lost count of what I have learnt reading your answers to queries.
Should I have any concerns using AS30N (Clays)?

There are some clubs that have them split up still in some of their annuals.
My take on it is this regarding pistols in my opinion: With a good double duelist, it's hard to tell when they change pistols unless you're counting shots. You can tell with a single duelist. Most people aren't ambidextrous, so they may not be as accurate with their offhand revolver. This would favor a single duelist if they were clean only because of using the strong hand both pistols, and a double duelist was prone to missing offhand. The pistol transition of the double duelist wouldn't make up the 5 second miss they had.
I tend to say transitions favor more heavily the double duelist. Those transitions better be hellagood to beat Doc's pistol, Rifle, and sg speed though! Then again, most single duelists are not Doc. Amadeuleist comes to mind too.
Enjoyed your take on the subject and reading your post, thank you. Now if I could just shoot like you I'd be a happy camper TW.

I have read on a lot of sites that Clays - ADI AS30N is a 'Spikey' powder.
Can someone explain to me what this actually means?

Even some of the best Double Duelist will have a 'strong hand' and is basically shooting one of their pistols slightly
slower in the weak hand than when using the strong hand. Therefore, the Duelist shooting both pistols with their
strong hand is shooting both pistols faster in the actual manipulation of those pistols.
For a DD to become faster than a regular Duelist.............they have to practice, practice, practice their techniques,
transitions, etc......
Best regards.

The above is exactly why I wonder why it was never different categories.

Why?
One hand - one pistol.
There is no need to overcomplicate it.
Again, no matter what given category or equipment - they need to find methods that best work to their benefit.
IF you shoot a 97; you probably need to learn to pull four shells.
IF you shoot Gunfighter; you probably need to learn to holster blind.
And IF you choose to shoot Duelist - you need to figure what works best for you. Whether transition improvements or use of crossdraw rigs - every choice will have pros and cons.
But at the end of the stage - it is one pistol; one hand.
That's Duelist.
Well to me shooting one pistol with your left hand and one with your right hand compared to shooting both pistols with your dominant hand is a very different animal, YMMV.
How do you tie your wild rag?
