The Shoer 27979 Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Is it because then they're more competitive with SxSs? my understanding is because you can only load 2 in a SXS so just fair to only load 2 in the '87 & '97 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apache Hawk 60642 Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Is it because then they're more competitive with SxSs? I think ( and dats always dangerous when I do ) dat it is to be competitive wif sxs's but to be safe as well. Got a shotgun stage wif 10 targets and all MUST go down. Can't see someone loadin' up five at one time !! Somebody chime in here............................................. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallaby Jack, SASS #44062 Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 '87 and '97 are not required to be "single loaded" (I think that's what you mean by "loaded individually") but are not to be loaded with more than 2 at a time. And my best guess for a reason has already been mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Shapiro Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 The rule is that you are not permitted to load more than 2 at a time. So load 1 or load 2. Either is fine. Shotgun also has to come to the line and be staged open and empty, so no preloading the magazine. After significant testing, I'm convinced that's it's faster to single load the 97 than to load 2. I haven't put in enough time with an 87 to have reached a conclusion to this. I've seen both done successfully and fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan Cord Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Some local events will let you stoke the 97s on the clock. It is NOT faster(in fact it is much slower IMHO) but it is FUN, FUN, FUN!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallaby Jack, SASS #44062 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 ...... an' there is at least one whole country that won't let you own/use a '97 ..... no fun at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Most clubs will allow you to load as many as you want but you have to do it on the clock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eamon Chute Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I shoot with a guy who, whenever possible, holds his '97 with his right hand up in the shooting position, takes two shells with his left hand and reaches around and under the gun flipping one shell into the port, closes the action, then "thumbs" one into the chamber. Works fine for him. I don't know if it's any faster, but it sure is fun to watch! EC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Foolery U.S.M. #2348 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Stoking up a 87 under the clock is VERY time consuming TF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tennessee Stud, SASS# 43634 Life Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Why Does SASS Require 1887s and 1997s to Load individually? Is it because then they're more competitive with SxSs? 'Cause the 1887's only got one barrel... and the 1997 ain't never been invented yet.
