Church Key, SASS # 33713 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Been doing CAS for a while and switched to a 97 from a SXS over 10+ years ago. I'm going to try going back to a SXS for a change of pace. Wondering if anyone else is going to switch CAS items for the new year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barleycorn, SASS #76982 Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 I may shoot my 45's some more this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castalia,SASS#18915 Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Been shooting a double barrel for 10 years. Switching to an 1887 lever shotgun. Slow, but many style points. Castalia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 (edited) I used to shoot a set of 5.5" Vaqueros in .357. I did a weird switch to .45 Colt from shooting .38s. Now I have a New Vaquero 5.5" and and old model 7.5" Vaquero both in .45 Colt. I wasn't sure which I would like but I think I am going to go ahead and get me another 7.5" old model and use those as my primary match guns. Heck, I will never be real fast so I figure I might as well have fun. Â I moved up to a Rossi 92 in .45 with a 24" barrel too. Â And of course, I will be sticking with my SxS's. I have only used a 97 once in a match. Not sure what the attraction is...I don't care for 'em.

Grumpy Old Man Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Wallaby, I've thought about doin that too. Have a 36" goose gun to try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Church Key, SASS # 33713 Posted January 1, 2017 Author Share Posted January 1, 2017 I also might try a single barrel trap gun some time for giggles. It tosses shells about 20'; will keep the TO hopping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rye Miles #13621 Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 I'm going to give gunfighter a good old American try!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mud Marine,SASS#54686 Life Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 I shot my first match with .38 Rugers, a .38 Marlin and a Stoeger 20 gauge all in smokeless. That was OK but, when I saw Gunfighter, I switched right away to .45 Colt Rugers, a .45 Colt Big Boy and a 10 gauge 3-1/2" Magnum in Holy Black. Thousands of rounds later, I am happy as a pig in poop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evil dogooder Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 This year I'm shooting one match dressed in matching b western with my wife so I'll have to shoot a Marlin again. Also I'm shooting one of our specialty shoots with my slow guns. A single shot 12, long barreled .45s and .45 schofield spencer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster Ron Wayne Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 I am going from Rugers in 44 special . To Remingtons 1858 Cap & Ball Pistols . And from a SxS to a 87 shotgun . And from a 92 to a 1860 Henry . Should be some sort of learning curve :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
