Rye Miles #13621 Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 I discovered how to knock off 4-5 seconds a stage for you BP shooters!! GO SMOKELESS!!!!! Trust me it works!
Tyrel Cody Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 In that case I highly recommend you don't shoot after me or my son at Hard Times, we make enough smoke to obscure the targets for a couple shooters after us.

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Might be why it caught on in the rest of the world. Like so many other things, I DON'T CARE how the rest of the world does anything unless it endangers my safety, finances, or peace of mind. Jingo Tom

Rafe Conager SASS #56958 Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Smokeless is a passing fad, and a Communist plot to weaken america! Rafe

Rye Miles #13621 Posted April 22, 2015 Author Posted April 22, 2015 Low 30's now? Raw times have gone from 30's to mid to high 20's!!! Yeehaw! Got to get those misses under control but now at least I can SEE my misses!!
Rye Miles #13621 Posted April 22, 2015 Author Posted April 22, 2015 Heeee Haaaa Rye,what are you shooting at Ohio State.. or are you not going to that one either.. Now that my hands are fixed I'm chaseing Stoney again.. SAY WHEN Heeee Haaaaa Crazy MIngo I'm going to the state and shooting old guy duelist!
Tom Bullweed Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 I shoot BP at the same speed as smokeless. I just have more misses than a college sorority when shooting BP. This slowing down to see the targets thing is over-rated.
I. M. Crossdraw, SASS# 8321 Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Raw times have gone from 30's to mid to high 20's!!! Yeehaw! Got to get those misses under control but now at least I can SEE my misses!! Yeah, Rye, you can see them targets but geez, you missed a lot though. At least with BP you hit them more.
Driftwood Johnson, SASS #38283 Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Howdy Couldn't care less about knocking off 4-5 seconds per stage. I'm there to shoot, make a lot of smoke, and yuk it up with my pards. Couldn't care less how fast I shoot.
Grapeshot 8553 Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 I like to make smoke and make concussive shockwaves that thump people in their chests and cause the ground to shake like an earthquake
Rye Miles #13621 Posted April 23, 2015 Author Posted April 23, 2015 Yeah, Rye, you can see them targets but geez, you missed a lot though. At least with BP you hit them more. I had 4 misses how many did you have??
Slowhand Bob, 24229 Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 I love it when the three spotters ask, did he hit anything, second guy chimes in, did he miss anything? What bothers me most is the third guy who wants to go the easy route and just call an over the berm and be done with me for the day!
Griff Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 Knockin' 4-5 seconds of my stage times would shorten the amount of time I'm shootin'... It's sometimes hard to explain to folks when I shoot a 40 second stage... I figure my internal clock is runnin' a lil' fast! I've pretty much mastered speedin' the pace up as a shooting string progresses... now, I'm workin' on startin' fast and slowin' down during a string.. all with the intent of keeping overall stage times consistent. Goin' fast; a sure way to win... but wouldn't that lessen the fun I'm supposed to have? Jes' yankin' yer chain Phantom!!!
Montana Longhair 27261 Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 You will be missed my friend!!! The bp world is a tick less now!! Glad yer still in the game!! Yer smokey pard furball!!
Sgt. Hochbauer, SASS #64409 Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 I noticed the same thing ...stages were a bit faster ....BUT it was sort of like eating boiled chicken......bland and pretty much tasteless.
Deuce Stevens SASS#55996 Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 Good for you Rye. Glad you are enjoying your change. I am sure you will go back to a BP eventually because the moral outcry from your fellow BP shooters will be more than you can bear. I remember when I switched from 250 gr. bullets to 200gr. bullets I was treated like I had just urinated on John Wayne's grave. It always amazes me how so many think that having fun and shooting slowly is mutually exclusive. Me I shoot with anybody and everybody and don't judge a person by their score or how they choose to play the game as long as it's by the rules.
Wild Bill Blackerby SASS # 34989 Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 I discovered how to knock off 4-5 seconds a stage for you BP shooters!! GO SMOKELESS!!!!! Trust me it works! Heretic!!! Bah! You'll be back, we have cookies.

Thanks for the back-up Duece, it's funny after 6 or 7 yrs. of shooting all BP all the time I got kinda tired of the routine. It's now easier for me to go to 4 shoots a month and the benefit is I'm enjoying the little bit faster times. If you "soot lords" out there like yer BP that's fine I hear ya but I'm like a little kid who's found something new! Next shooter! Rye
Rye Miles #13621 Posted April 23, 2015 Author Posted April 23, 2015 FRONTIER CARTRIDGE DUELIST? DARK LORD OF THE SOOT? kR Thanks for alerting me to that, I never even thought about it. I'll change it now!
Cowboy Rick, SASS #49739L Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 I've let this blasphemy continue long enough Rye has soiled his nest and abandoned his heritage. I vote string him up Never mind he's a good guy and a pretty good shooter. Never mind he is having fun and working less. Actually, it's always fun to rib him once in a while, now we just have a different reason. When he was shooting BP he had a distinct advantage ... smoke rises Hope to shoot with you again, Pard - BP or that newfangled smokeless, don't matter. Shoot straight - have fun CR

BTW all those short jokes don't bother me at all…THEY GO RIGHT OVER MY HEAD!!! I'd love to, but it will be next year. We are having our final St Jude's Charity match that weekend and expecting to send them one last pile of cash from the dedicated cowpokes who have helped make this so successful for the last 16 years. CR
Prescott Palmer Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 At my last shoot one of the my Cowboy Pards was making more BOOM and SMOKE than I was. I don't know how I can put anymore BP into a 45 colt cartridge than I do. Can I compress it more and maybe fit in a grain or two more? Just how much can you compress BP?
