G W Wade Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Yah. After loading pistols, they called down range for target repair. Went to line and found rifle was still empty. Sure lucky rifle was first gun. GW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yusta B. Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Did that with my cap guns once. Took 35 sec to cap both, came very close to leaving one on half cock after capping. And they weren't first arm shot in the stage. The posse enjoyed it tremendously ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoss Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I forgot to put shotgun shells in my belt once. Shot pistols, rifle, grabbed shotgun, went to belt, no shells. I mimicked loafing gun and pointing and shooting and yelling BANG BANG shucked and did it again. Everybody was cracking up. I did have a 15 second stage And 4 misses.

Goody, SASS #26190 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Did that once about 18 years ago at Breckenridge. I was proud that I still beat several shooters in that stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sedalia Dave Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Before it was made against the rules I shot rifle and pistols, Went to grab shot gun shells and found by belt empty. Unholstered pistols and set them on prop and proceeded to race back to my cart for shells. Grabbed a handful and raced back dropping a few along the way. Managed to end up with enough to finish the stage. I didn't see it but I was told that the look on the TO's face when I took off was priceless. Who besides me has tried to shoot their rifle only to discover the safety is on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamond Curly SASS#57086 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 If you have played this game it is not if you forget to load something but When! If I change my routine I will miss something at the loading table . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always have a loading table officer as does the other club we often shoot with. I've shot at clubs that don't. I've often worked the table and often caught problems before they went on to shoot.

El diablo gringo Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 It’s happened, pulled my 1851s and the caps went bang but apparently powder and balls were doing something else at the time. Gringo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Null N. Void Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 He forgot to mention the first stage in which he shot underpowered shotgun rounds. You could see the wad arcing to the target. They did go down, slowly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imis Twohofon,SASS # 46646 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Rip through pistols, Great no misses. Rip through riffle ,a little slower but ok and again no misses. Grab for nonexistant shotgun shells. Can I take my 15 second time and no misses since i didnt actually fire the shotgun? Yep some jawing was involved for me.

Cowboy Junky Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I have seen that before. The stages is written as follows: Shooter starts at loading table talking to friends (or starring at a pretty cowgirl OR cowboy of the opposite sex) while not paying attention. ATB shooter engages R1 by dry firing it until the rifle is confirmed to be empty. Next load rifle with 10 rounds while shaking yer' head and laughing out loud and continue with the rifle. With pistols complete rifle instruction. Last with the shotgun hope you still have enough shells in your belt left from previous stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stump Water Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 In my case I loaded the rifle. I carried it to the line & staged it. What I didn't do was re-install the mag. spring, follower & cap last weekend after I cleaned it. So, when I picked the rifle up to shoot it... Yeah, it was the first stage.

Griff Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Charged pistols w/Goex and wads.... went to loading table... capped nipples... studied stage and figured out I was going to have to hit the KDs at the very top edge... Proceeding to fully implement plan with 100% effectiveness. Except those wads did not have enough mass to topple the KDs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ The Red Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 My biggest problem at the loading table is the temptation to go and help someone. Great thought, but with loaded guns in holster it's a SDQ. I have done that twice in the last year. So now, the pistols are left on the table until the TO signals me to the line. I too have come to the line without shotgun shells. Love the stories of others showing we are all human. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keystone, SASS # 47578 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I have forgotten to reload my shotgun belt after shooting two stages (holds 10) and only had two shotshells for the third stage. Dang, what a knuckle head move. Only happened once, so far. PS Was using a new guncart with cartridges & shotshells in different pockets. Corrected the ammo placement with all ammo in same area.

Charlie MacNeil, SASS #48580 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I've never gone to the line with empty guns, but I was at a match in Virginia a number of years ago in which one of the shooters was a known heckler of the other shooters. He staged all of his guns at the first shooting position, including his pistols, after deciding that he needed to go back to his gun cart for something or other. The crowd closed in around the shooting line while he had his back turned, and a couple of the shooters unloaded his pistols. The order was rifle, pistols, shotgun. Rifle went bang ten times. First pistol went click, click, click, he handed it off. Second pistol, same thing. He had shotgun shells so the shotgun went bang the required number of times. He went to the unloading table, discovered that his pistols were already empty, and proceeded to call a bunch of his buddies some unkind names while everyone laughed for quite some time, including him. Apparently he figured that he'd deserved having that happen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
