Dang It Dan 13202 Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 While reading the "Sweeping while drawing/holstering" thread, it reminded me that I wanted to start this thread...... Here is a good place to share "rules" that you've heard or been told that really aren't rules. Like this: 1. If you wear a cross-draw holster, you MUST do the dance. Please feel free to add to this list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yusta B. Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 1. You have to holster each pistol in turn as soon as you fire the 5th shot. 2. You cannot safely stage one pistol while you fire the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleWolf Brunelle, #2495L Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 4. Don't be a "hard-ass". means that enforcement of rules & assessment of penalties is OPTIONAL...at all levels of competition. It is also acceptable for the entire posse to vote on whether & how to penalize a shooter for a rule violation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaleWolf Brunelle, #2495L Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Native American/NDN/Injun targets are non-PC and should be banned from all ranges...y'all might hurt someone's li'l feelings or offend the emotionally unstable in an environment that permits access to loaded firearms. ...but targets & props depicting Mexican banditos (Big Juans & Little Juans), WASP outlaws, bankers, and lawyers are OK...recommended to NOT paint them targets BLACK lest someone file a lawsuit claiming we're practicing for "Helter Skelter".

Blastmaster Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 In addition to not shooting at Indian shaped targets, you can not shoot at animal shaped targets either,because it will upset the animal rights folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warden Callaway Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 The cross draw dance was one reason I went from duelist to double duelist and eventually gunfighter. When I started, I use a cross draw holster - actually, two right hand holsters as that's what I had. Every time I got to the pistol part of the program, the TO would bark, "DON'T FORGET TO TURN!". It would always rattle me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edward R S Canby, SASS#59971 Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Cap 'n ball revolvers must be shot one-handed. Revolvers cannot be drawn while moving. Socks visible is a costume violation. One cannot shoot BP in one firearm and then smokeless in another. Muff-type hearing protection is prohibited as it doesn't look 19th century. Trousers must be held up with braces and tucked into boots. Zippers are only allowed in B-Western. 38 Special was never a BP round and cannot be used in Plainsman matches. One cannot switch back and forth between pump shotguns and SxSs in a multi-stage match. Carrying a hammered shotgun from the LT to its intended shooting position with the hammers cocked is a MDQ.
