Bad Bascomb, SASS # 47,494 Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Congratulations on a 'sweep'.... I'm not surprised he was able to do it. I can't count for him at even a monthly match; my brain no longer functions that rapidly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widder, SASS #59054 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Gunfighter in 1.71 WOW, that even smashes my best video time of 1.79 on a BIG dump plate... I knew Smokestack was fast and that he had the ability to get into the 1.6 and 1.7 range in his GF skills. I think its great that it was done in such admirable fashion at the World Championships. CONGRATULATIONS Smokestack. And keep em smoking! ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you do it? To be fair, the guns started muzzles on the table for gunfighters, one that way for trad. And duelist and the other holstered. The fastest GF run I had, (with a miss) was 1.27. Couldn't get my left hand to quit missing so I tried a different sweep and got the 1.71 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't even fathom under 2. That's just insane. Remind me to mess with you in a saloon 130 years ago. I'd have bourbon pouring out of me in ten holes before I even cleared leather.

Widder, SASS #59054 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Redwood Kid, Naturally, having some good thumbs (Bionic ?) helps when reaching these speeds. But another aspect that some folks overlook is the 'willingness', the guts to do it. Its not an easy or natural thing for most folks to pick up 2 pistols and shoot them that fast. Lots of practice and reaction time drills are a must. My guess is that Smokestack is in the 1.10 to 1.25 second range for his 1st to 10th shot. Thats about where I was a few years back. And actually, Smokestack may be less. I used basically stock Ruger .38's and very light loads. The only mod to my pistols were a hammer stop, #15 hammer spring and removing any burrs that were in the pistol. They also used the factory hammers and were not short stroked. I have thought about trying those speed runs again using my slicked up, short stroked .32's but doing some of that stuff is almost like work. And for now, my retirement days are begging me to be lazy and take it easy..... I look forward to more stuff from Smokestack. Its great that he is setting new standards for the BORGS of this world... ;o P.S. - another BORG that can whip out 10 in about 1 second is Deuce. He is fast as a GF also. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
