rustyfinger 22618 Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Is it ok to use just one hand? Say if you have to move with a open empty shot gun,stop shoot handgun,move with shotgun again,then shoot hand gun again. Thanks Rusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anvil Al #59168 Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Yep. I have done it. Duelist is legal in all categorys. And only a GFer can have to LOADED pistols in hand at the same time. But that empty SG is fine to have in hand while shooting a pistol with the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If stage instructions said Shoot S1 and S2, then move to position 2, place shotgun on hay bale, then shoot first pistol, pick up shotgun and move to position 3, etc. You would not be allowed to hold shotgun and shoot pistol in that example.

Adirondack Jack, SASS #53440 Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Bottom line is this, at any time a shooter in a two-handed category MAY opt to use only one hand to shoot the pistols for any or no reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Coroner Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Bottom line is this, at any time a shooter in a two-handed category MAY opt to use only one hand to shoot the pistols for any or no reason. I would add that gunfighters MUST use EACH hand. From the handbook: Stage design may allow a competitor shooting Gunfighter Style to stage or restage revolvers between target sequences. If the stage scenario requires the use of another firearm between the revolver sequences or the shooter’s hands are otherwise constrained (e.g., rolling the dice between revolver sequences), the revolvers must be drawn and shot one at a time unless they can be safely staged rather than holstered. In this case, both revolvers may be employed at the same time for the first five rounds, safely restaged, and then employed at the same time again for the second five rounds.

Gunfighter is a "one handed" category, (one hand on any one gun) and wasn't what was asked. I guess I should re-state to say any shooter signed up as a two-handed style MAY opt to shoot "duelist" style if his or her little heart desires. (that's how I first tried out duelist under match conditions. I simply told the RO "we gonna try this "one wing" bit" ..... If yer really feeling froggy or have already blown up yer match, try "outlaw" (one hand, no sights, fire from the hip or at least below the plane where sights could be used). It's a hoot.

Curly Red Ryder Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 If you're shooting in an age based category, you can change the pistol shooting style as you want during the match, one stage two hands holding the pistol, one stage duelist, one stage double duelist and even one stage gunfighter and so on.....

Sorry, aged based can't shoot gunfighter, from the handbook: AGE BASED • Any Main Match revolver. • Revolvers may be shot any style except Gunfighter.

Anvil Al #59168 Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 and even one stage gunfighter and so on..... As Dutch pointed out. That would be a P. For shooting out of category. Duelist or Double Duelist would be fine. I know a shooter that shot a big match signed up as 49er, but shot the whole match as a Double Duelist. Won 49er and overall.

Why couldn't ya still hold the shotgun? Just lay it on the bale and keep a holt of it. Shootin one handed with the pistol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shootin one handed with the pistol. Well if you placed it on the bale flat and remained in contact with it, likely a no call. If your fingers were keeping it from laying flat, could be a penalty.
