Hard Cash 0 Posted April 29, 2013 Since this is Sedona and my first trip into the Osage Nation, just how far are the pistol and rifle targets ?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oklahomabound 61 Posted April 29, 2013 Since this is Sedona and my first trip into the Osage Nation, just how far are the pistol and rifle targets ?? ...revolver - 10 yards or so ...rifle - 50 yards or so ...since it ain't set up yet, I can't tell ya fer certain... ...but the intent is that the shooter will have to use their front sight and actually aim... ...plan on the times being just a touch longer... ...and fun being 2 to 3 times more... ...and the location is somethin' to behold... PS... there are pics of the last years targets and such back on page 1 I believe... ...with a few on page 2 of this 'ere thread... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pulp, SASS#28319 259 Posted May 4, 2013 I've got all my balls well rounded and lubed up, stacked neatly in little plastic tubes. Got my capper full of #10 Remingtons. Got enough .44WCF shells loaded up for a small war. Got my brass 12 gauge shells loaded up, still got to get out to the land and make sure they'll work in my '87. Hate to find out they don't work on the first stage. No big deal if they don't, I've got plenty of 16 gauge shells loaded up too. Now, all I've got to do (besides five more 12 hour night shifts, and three more 12 hour day shifts) is to get the covered wagon loaded up and ready to roll. Waiting for this is kinda like waiting for Christmas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pulp, SASS#28319 259 Posted May 12, 2013 My brass 12 gauge shells will work in my '87, loading singly. They are a bit long to work through the action if I drop two in at a time. Probably a good thing, 'cause now I'll just drop one shell on the ground at a time instead of two. Y'all say this match has never been shot clean huh! Expect that record to be broken next Saturday.* Gotta work tomorrow day shift, then off Monday to get the wagon ready, then Tuesday and Wednesday night. Anyone else gonna be there on Thursday? *Not by me, but someone might pull it off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Buffalo Bill Mathewson, 37826 53 Posted May 13, 2013 I practiced throwing my smoke balls around today at ITSASS.I had one dag-nab-it for the day. Chancesof me shooting Pursuit clean are at best guess slim to none. But my chances of beingthe shooter having the most fun overall are very good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
