Jed I. Knight, SASS #36423 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 This episode covers all 3 Stages of the Plainsman Side Match from the CA State Championship last month. I also go over the gear I use for Plainsman. I’m wondering what y’all use. Particularly what Rifle you like and why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three Foot Johnson Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 There is one club here that puts on a Plainsman match once a year, but in order to get more shooters, it's modified to include smokeless ammo and cartridge revolvers. Rifle targets are small, 6-8", and set way out to the end of the bay - between 80 - 100 yards. I have several suitable rifles, but have almost always used an NEF "Handy Rifle" .45-70 w/ejector and deep seated 405's over a reduced charge of BP. Why? Because it's relatively fast, very accurate, and has an ejector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Creek Jack Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Great vid. as usual Jedi! On your Sharps empty brass check the head of your case, if you have a scratch across it (bet you do) its caused by the hammer riding the firing pin and your a gonna break your firing pin by not half cocking before you work the lever to reload. If you already knew this, sorry to bring it up! If not now you know! Look forward to your next video! SCJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t have any scratches on my brass... But, I am not taking chances, I’m working on changing my muscle memory to cock the hammer before working the lever to eject the brass. It’s a very different... But, with time and effort I’ll get it down. Glad you’re enjoying the episodes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
