Cheyenne Culpepper 32827 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Duece, FWIW, I actually enjoy stages with split pistols where I actually get to use transitions to my benefit. nothing is cooler than shooting duelist and beating most trad shooters on a stage!!

Deuce Stevens SASS#55996 Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 Official answer.....No Since I understand your sense of humor (it's rare that you have one since you shoot with the other FL guys) then I assumed you were a "no" and counted you.

Rock Rotten Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Yes. Same as moving between shotgun targets. By definition. I don't mind one bit and NEVER shoot it double duelist. Unless I'm shooting classic cowboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cassalong Hopidy Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 No. As long as it is 10 shots without an intervening long gun, I don't see it as split pistols--though as your replies indicate, it's a matter of semantics. So what do you really want to know. If it's whether I like such scenarios, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubious Don #56333 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Definition: Revolvers shot from one position or two (or three or four hehe) continuously and only broken by movement = not split. Revolvers shot from one or MULTIPLE positions with another gun in between = split. IE Shooting string from POS 1; 10 rifle 10 revolver 4 shotgun = Not split. Shooting string from POS 1; 5 revolver 10 rifle 5 revolver 4 shotgun = Split Shooting string from POS 1 and then POS 2 POS 1 - 10 rifle 4 shotgun 5 revolver AND THEN 5 revolver from POS 2 = Not split. A gunfighter always has the option of shooting DD if he or she is not gunfighterly enough to remember hammers down whilst moving..... A challenge in life here and there is most refreshing!

John Henry Quick Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Remember when gunfighters had to "qualify?" We could go back to something similar: "Must be able to walk and chew gum simultaneously." Good Lord, there's a test I would fail! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight Arrow Hombre Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 The Shooting position is split I agree, the shooting position is split. But it's not a split pistol scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Jack Daniels Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 No. To answer your specific question. "Back to back" the answer is no. Adding stuff to do between the 5 shot strings in not back to back. Moving is allowed per the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou Graham, # 26112 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Technically, not a split. Would I do it? Maybe. Being a risk-averse female (that plays with molten lead and explosives) I would inspect the terrain, distance involved and the prop layout and then decide. In slippery conditions, going up a step or two, or uneven ground, it might be faster (and safer) to go DD, holster and take off like a bunny hanging on to the guns holstered instead of carefully negotiating nasty ground sideways with a loaded gun in each hand.

Dang It Dan 13202 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 That's funny....you want a simple answer......from the folks on the Wire no less.....funny. If you ask three cowboy shooters a question.....you will get four answers. No. They are not split unless there is a long gun to be shot in between the pistols forcing the GF to be a Duelist. Simple.

PaleWolf Brunelle, #2495L Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Simple question and am looking for a simple yes or no. Do you consider pistols that are shot back to back but from 2 different positions split pistols? NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incorrecto; GF MAY...stage revolvers after the first five, do something else and then pick them up and finish...whatever. Unless the stage has been set up incorrectly so's NOT to provide a safe place to do this OR, specifically written to the contrary GF are never 'forced' to shoot DD.

Dogmeat Dad, SASS #48563L Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Add another NO. As long as I don't have to do something else with my hands between positions, I don't consider them split. Split means being FORCED to either stage them or FORCED to shoot double duelist. While sometimes I have opted to fire double duelist becase of the type or amount of movement, that was my choice. Others, on the same stage, shot them GF. If you do write a stage where the pistols will be split, at least provide a place for the guns to be staged so they can be shot gunfighter.

Cypress Sam, SASS #10915 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Being one of those humorless guys from Florida - No. Unless there is some unnecessary crap that also has to be done with the movement, like carrying a bag or your shotgun, then pistols are split even though they are back to back.

Bison Bud Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 "No." However, I will admit that the only stage DQ I ever got was due to moving to the second location and finding one of the revolvers cocked when I got there. I probably could have gotten away with it because the RO hadn't noticed it either, but I called it on myself. Frankly, it's not split pistols, but it does present additional challenges for the shooter and the RO, not that that's a bad thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madd Mike #8595 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I agree, the shooting position is split. But it's not a split pistol scenario.Yet it is still a split of a ten round string into two five round strings, Guess we can agree to disagree on this one Five rounds,,,,,, move,,,,,, five more, Same as , shoot pistol one holster, move tp position two, draw other pistol and fire five more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madd Mike #8595 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 No sir. There has to be firearm shot in between to "split" the string. DB The action is split Example, stage says, Rifle loaded with five, with a five round reload from the body Shoot rifle five round string from window one, move to window two reload five and ?.?.?. I call that a split rifle stage :-) MileAge will very,, fire away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
