Possum Skinner, SASS#60697 Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 How many rifle rounds are required for a plainsman in a typical stage and/or annual match? Thanks, Possum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying W Ramrod Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Depends, there is no clear answer. At the Shootout at Fort Miller last year, it was 20 pistol, 21 rifle and 25 shotgun. One stage only, average time was four minutes with the winner clocking in at 2 minutes 45 seconds. Bowling balls released by a rifle shot, a cannon that shot a soda can 100ft into the air for a 20 second bonus, knockdown rifle targets at 50yards and oxygen at the finish line. Every finisher got an "I survived the Mother of all Plansman 2010" laminated card. There were over 50 competitors. It's called the Mother of All Plainsman for a reason. This year we cut it down to three stages, 5-7 rifle, 10 pistol and 4-8 shotgun each stage. Next year, back to the Mother. Plans are 20 pistol, 20 rifle and 25 shotgun. New moving targets, down range movement and more fun than should be allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Chambers Sass 4408L Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Possum I am doing 3 stages at Texas State. 2 have 6 rounds and one has 7. Targets are big at about 40 yards. We have about 10 or 11 signed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Hi Possum, Most Plainsman Events I've shot used 6-8 rifle per stage for 2-3 stages. Now, it seems that 3-4 stages is getting more common. Regards, Allie Mo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 PS I loved shooting Plainsman. Please, everyone open it up to non-duelist shooters. Maybe you can get more participation. However, now that I've fallen in love with WBAS and can't shoot duelist, I will probably shoot WB instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Pony Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Possum up here they are usually three stages with 5 or 6 rifle rounds per stage, 10 handgun and 4 to 6 shotgun per. Rifle targets, 3, 4, or 5 are set up about 35 yards out. Handgun and shotgun targets are at normal distances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
