[SW Florida Gunslinger’s Shootout in the Swamp]

I just want to say if you want to shoot a really fun annual match 10 stages (5 stages Sat & Sun) in January in Florida this is really a great match to do it. Real fun stages with variety, good target placement where you can put the pedal down but not a manipulation match either. They have a moving target that’s fun but not too hard for the novice and this year they also had a tombstone rack which was lots of fun.

They fed us lunch both days and it was incredible, IMHO it’s the best food in SASS , banquet, match or otherwise.

 

The match is near Punta Gorda 10-15 minutes to restaurants and bars on the water, and plenty of places to explore after the shooting and eating is over. 

 

This is the second year for Midwest Hale and myself and we will be going back next year.

 

I don’t know everybody names or aliases involved with putting this match on, I think it’s a club effort. 

Too many  names and I don’t want to leave somebody out.

 

Folks should give this match a try and if you shot it before and did not like it give it another try , I believe you will like the changes.
 

Thanks AO & MH

Here's what a serrated front sight looks like in particular.

 

 

OK, after learning several thousand things about Google Photos , I came up with this link for my serrated stainless Vaquero front sights:

I did that file work in just a few minutes with, I believe, a 40 LPI checkering file from Brownells. About 3 or 4 years ago.

 

Good luck, GJ

works good dab some paint in serration works great and looks good too

[Timers?]

Competition Timers all the way, I like the Pocket Pro 2, especially for practice when you want to review splits( pain on a pact)

 

Our club used Pact's for years there customer service was lacking at best, (they broke quite a bit )we finally phased them out

For those who are unfamiliar with W3G, this is the type of movement typically available.

Nice run !

[Western 3 Gun is Not Dead!]

As Chance mentioned we had the T&R Ranch they did the W3G matches also WVC the Orlando Club did them for a while, unfortunately folks thought like Blackey Cole mentioned they were afraid to try it because you could move and shoot and figured it would mess them up for SASS matches but it's totally different than SASS,W3G you cannot see all targets unless you move in SASS targets are in front , It was fun and nothing to be worried about

[What guns/gear would you buy if you had a $4500 budget?]

Lots of good advice

 

Uberti 73 in 357 / 38 18.5" - 20" barrel

Rugers 357 / 38 with 4 5/8 or 5 1/2 " barrels

Skb or 97 win or get both

Good competition leather

 

Your budget should be able to get you everything,

 

Good Luck AO
