Chief Rick Posted May 6, 2018 Posted May 6, 2018 No - can see where a gunfighter would love it, though. Think it would require traditional shooter's to have to slow down, especially on the transition to the second pistol, to keep from earning a P.
Marshal Chance Morgun Posted May 6, 2018 Posted May 6, 2018 Eat anchovies before going to bed did ya?
Hells Comin Posted May 6, 2018 Posted May 6, 2018 No i have not, but I like it. Always looking for new sequences.

Rye Miles #13621 Posted May 6, 2018 Posted May 6, 2018 Yep did it at a Firelands Wednesday shoot last year! I think we also did it at a Firelands regular monthly too!

Rye Miles #13621 Posted May 6, 2018 Posted May 6, 2018 How about this one? 1-1-2-3-4-4-1-2-3-4 The Pinto Kid sweep! (He hates this that's why I named it after him)
Guest Hollywood Dave Posted May 6, 2018 Posted May 6, 2018 Hello Cheyenne. I like it for outlaw. CC sweep is cool.
Wyatt Posted May 6, 2018 Posted May 6, 2018 I have the same dream last night using a rifle and I had a miss and a P
El Hombre Sin Nombre Posted May 6, 2018 Posted May 6, 2018 I like “Cheyenne Sweep” for this one. I’m going to start pushing it locally and see what happens.
Jefro, SASS#69420 Posted May 6, 2018 Posted May 6, 2018 We've done versions of it, paint odd targets black and even targets red, makes it easier to keep up with. "Cheyenne Sweep" it is
Griff Posted May 6, 2018 Posted May 6, 2018 Yes, Odds & Evens... very old, very tired, well used, gunfighter sweep. Fallen out of favor... especially with non-gunfighters. Not fun for anyone when used for the rifle.
Sergeant Duroc Posted May 7, 2018 Posted May 7, 2018 We call it the "Chatanooga Ladder Sweep". Memphis Raines (gunfighter) came up with it.
Three Foot Johnson Posted May 7, 2018 Posted May 7, 2018 I came up with one several years ago shooting 2 three target Nevada sweeps on a 5 target spread. Maybe it already existed and I just reinvented it, I dunno. 1-3-5-3-1 then 2-3-4-3-2
Slow Mo Dern Posted May 7, 2018 Posted May 7, 2018 Howdy Cheyenne, Now you have 2 sweeps named after you! "How cool is that!" The number 13 appears 3 times in this sweep! I think I'll stay away from it! Mo
Houston CAS Posted May 7, 2018 Posted May 7, 2018 I wrote stages at THSS similar last October. 1-3-2-4-4 repeat. Also 2-4-1-3-3 repeat. I called it "odds and evens".

Hey, CC, A long time ago I found a sweep pattern listed online as "The Culpepper sweep". It has 9 rounds on three targets: 1 - 2 - 2 - 3 - 3 - 3 - 2 - 2 - 1 . I naturally assumed you had invented this sweep. We've been using it for years. We shoot this sweep on 3 targets and the tenth round usually goes on a bonus target or a target off by itself. It's easy to remember and also works well if a 9 round sweep is ever needed. Mo

Mo wasn't mine,, I would never write a 9 shot sweep... a good sweep tho as you said, tenth round put somewhere else

Mo We shot this one yesterday at Pemi Valley with the tenth round on the last 1. It was called an "Abilene sweep"

Jabez Cowboy,SASS # 50129 Posted May 8, 2018 Posted May 8, 2018 Yes I have shot that sweep at a Couple of Clubs .. I like the "Ginger Rodgers" Sweep, 4 targets starting at either end , 4 on the first , 3 on the second , 2 on the third , one on target 4.... And then sometimes we sweep the other row of targets , from the other end , 1 on target 1 , 2 on the second, 3 on the third and 4 on the last target,,, For old Larry... We often give you a choice of which sweep you start on "Ginger" up close or Larry boy with da rifle ... Jabez Cowboy

Also do a 6-target progressive using revolvers & rifle that requires a reload.
