Ethan Cord Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Howdy pards, I am sitting here at the computer and was thinking about side match stages I have shot in the past. I was wondering if any of you have any favorites you would like to share. I love pocket pistol and derringer events, but other stuff is fun too! So let's hear about your favorites!

Timber Rattler Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 I've never shot a side match, the only club I've shot at hasen't had one while I was there. I would love to shoot some, maby derringer or pocket pistol. Would also like to try pistol cal rifle long range(that just sounds wrong!). Might be better if I don't,would have to buy more irons and the wife might just learn to tie a noose!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chancy Shot, SASS #67163 Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 At the Illowa Regulator's Fall Roundup we shoot a running buffalo. Its a large (3 foot long) steel buffalo target on a cart on tracks. The cart is pulled back and forth by ropes. The buffalo is about 25 yards from the shooter. ATB the buffalo starts moving and the shooter puts 10 rounds on it as fast as possible. It makes for a long day of rope pulling, but everyone seems to have a good time.

Ethan Cord Posted February 20, 2011 Author Share Posted February 20, 2011 About 21 years ago I shot a stage in an OWSA match put on by Bill & Dorothy Hahn. Their props and stage descriptions were second to none! This stage was entitled "Picnicking with Miss Polly" and had you reclining on a picnic blanket and a .22 Derringer was staged in a picnic basket. A couple of "snakes" fashioned from bungee cords with paper poker chips for heads decided to join the picnic with you and Polly! The shooter had to retrieve the Derringer and dispatch the snakes with head shots. There was more shooting that went with the scenario, but I had so much fun with the derringer that is the part I remember. I still have the one "snake head" with a .22 caliber hole in it as a memento on my reloading bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos El Hombre Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 The plainsman is my favorite side match, the speed stages are over too fast for all they are fun. Carlos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
