Fillmore Coffins, SASS #7884 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Sweep from one end of a target array to the other and return with no double taps. Actually you can start in the middle of 3 targets and go the direction the instructions say. As Manatee said, no double taps. Fillmore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fillmore Coffins, SASS #7884 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I disagree with the description but from the Glossary of Sweeps... Glossary of Sweeps "Nevada Sweep: Originated by Beans (SASS#316, NV), and sometimes described as “the most common of cowboy sweeps.” In a post on the SASS Wire, Beans said, “… it is always meant to be shot left to right unless the stage directions state [otherwise].” The Nevada Sweep always requires an odd number of rounds, and involves sweeping from one end of the row of targets to the other and back without double-tapping. Five shots on three targets, 1-2-3-2-1. Seven shots on four targets, 1-2-3-4-3-2-1. Nine shots on five targets, 1-2-3-4-5-4-3-2-1."

Marauder SASS #13056 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Don't worry so much about a name, just tell them the order to shoot it - especially with something a little different. As you can see by the comments, the various names can become confusing. Different locations have unique names. Some of the same sweeps have different names and even different interpretations, so it is best to just spell it out to be certain and avoid confusion.

Madd Mike #8595 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 That is not a universally accepted variation. I would tend to agree because regular / most sweeps, as a standard start at one end or the other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I absolutely agree with clarifying the order of the "xxxxxxx" sweep in the stage directions. Sweep names and actual order can vary from region-region and even club-club.

PaleWolf Brunelle, #2495L Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 In was always partial to a California sweep........... It is one I can always remember regardless of how the steel is set! Which one?? Cajon Sweep: From Old Scout (SASS# 323, CA). Five consecutive shots on a single target, 1-1-1-1-1.Cowboy action shooters in general have a lot of fun with this one, and it is humorously known by a variety of names in various parts of the country. For example, Mustang Gregg (SASS#38345, NE) and Cuts Crooked (SASS#36914, “Midwest”) called it the Nebraska Sweep, while Curly McCrae (SASS#27784, MI) called it a California Sweep. R.B. Rooson (SASS#16974, TX) called it the Paradise Pistolero Sweep. Johnny the Kid (SASS#22917, FL) identified it as the Hatbill Sweep. Wire Paladin (SASS#5954, OR) suggested calling this the Chicago Sweep, saying “…you just dump all the rounds of one gun on one target.” California Sweep: From Old Scout (SASS# 323, CA). “Every other shot must be on the first target. The remaining shots will form a sweep.” His example suggested eight shots on five targets, 1-2-1-3-1-4-1-5. See also Hermit Joe Sweep.

Harvey Mushman Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Hello Ace! I'll bite? I bet you have a good definition! Is that the election sweep where they elect a two-thirds majority of the anti-gun party to both state houses, and no matter how you set it, they STEAL our rights? (Ya can't believe the proposed bills right now). :ph34r:/> Or is it the older version where visiting NeeVadans are swept into the Sheep Dip tank before the match?! ;)/>/>:lol:/>/> Given a couple more years with this legislature and governor, I sure hope we in CA are still able to welcome our Nevada Pards to a shoot in CA! We actually appreciate your company, and our opportunity to offer a shoot! Harvey :D/>/> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fillmore Coffins, SASS #7884 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 That is not a universally accepted variation. I agree. Let's come up with a different name for this target engagement description, "3 targets in a row, 1 shot on the LH target, 3 shots on the middle target, and 1 shot on the RH target, any order, no double taps."

Fillmore They called this sweep (starting on the center of 3 targets) A" Pea Patch Sweep" a couple of years ago at Winter Range. Named after Pea Patch I guess?

Some of the same sweeps have different names and even different interpretations, so it is best to just spell it out to be certain and avoid confusion. Or you could just write a Pig Iron Sweep. For those not in the know: I was told that Pig Iron Lane (a Georgia shooter) became so well known for getting a P whenever a shotgun order was specified, that instead of writing the stage saying "shoot the shotgun knockdowns in any order," some began to call it a Pig Iron Sweep. Imagine my surprise to find that a fellow cowboy would take a poke at a Pig...Iron. It might have been Judge 'em All Duncan doing the poking. It might have been someone else. I don't know because I'm pretty sure I'm coming down with Pig Iron Disease. How about a sweep called the CRS sweep? What was I talking about?

Jasper Agate Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 While traveling around the country for a number of years when the little woman was a travel nurse I found that different areas called the same sweeps by different names. For instance the Bessemer Vigilance Committee from Casper,WY. call a NV sweep a Natrona sweep. The name of the county where Casper is located.

Phantom, SASS #54973 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Maybe just keep the definition simple. Going back and forth without a double tap...start anywhere unless instructed otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madd Mike #8595 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Something must be in the water these days The Nevada Sweep was one of the earliest sweeps given a name Back when Nevada had a great shoot "Stampede" right before EOT Hundreds & hundreds of shooters would show up, to participate They came from all over the world to shoot Stampede The Nevada sweep definition then traveled back home with folks ya all call it what ya want to It’s still battle born "Nevada Sweep" round these parts And in the hearts of many now NV sweep the three phantom targets in yer mind :ph34r:/>/> :ph34r:/>/> :ph34r:/>/> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
