Major Art Tillery Posted August 18, 2016 Author Posted August 18, 2016 (edited) Glad to see so much interest for our BP Match! Can't wait to shoot with all you fellas. I am hoping all them Cap N Ball shooters make it again... This past year we had 9 of them. It was really fun to watch them shoot. Edited August 18, 2016 by Major Art Tillery Quote
Deacon Stone Sass#58681 Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 If you shoot Frontiersman and want some competition. This shoot if for you. I bet this will be the biggest class again next year. I wouldn't be surprised to see as many as 15 shooters shooting Frontiersman. I know 3 guys that went out and bought new pistols just for this catagory after watching us this year. But no matter what catagory you shoot this group of cowboys do it right. You won't regret this shoot. Hope to see you there. Deacon Stone Quote

They still have to be shortened to 5" and slicked up but they will be ready in a few weeks. Now if work will just slow down so I can shoot that would be wonderful. Quote

Grizzly Dave Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 I'm getting a wild hair.... What is the basic tentative schedule for the match? I know it's a ways out, but it would help me plan.... Quote
Flinthills Dawg Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 Long range and side matches on friday the 5th. main match saturday and sunday 6 stages each, depending on mother nature. Banquet and side match awards saturday night at Elks lodge in Abilene. Quote
Dantankerous Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 I hear Major is gonna be shootin' cap and ball guns this match. Any truth to this rumor? Being that he's Major he'll probably be totin' Walkers or Dragoons. Quote

Tucker McNeely Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 I test fired my new to me ROA's this afternoon. I was a little bummed about 10-15 mph wind. The smoke cleared way too soon. The new hammers from Boomstick made them a whole lot easier to manage. I gotta do something about the stock 25lb hammer springs. As it has been already said, frontiersman is going to be huge. Can't wait. I'll have my 2017 schedule soon. I sure hope I can make it. Quote
Flinthills Dawg Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 Grizz I believe we were all said and done by 3pm Quote
Deacon Stone Sass#58681 Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 Tucker you big wimp. That's the only thing I and Capt Baylor never changed is the hammer spring and we never have cap failure. Just step up you wimp. Quote
Major Art Tillery Posted August 27, 2016 Author Posted August 27, 2016 I am guessing this next year will be HUGE for the Frontiersman Category! Hope to see lots of you folks attend! Quote
