Single Shot Rifles has two Categories, Traditional or Modern

 

Basically it’s EJECTORS (Modern) vs EXTRACTORS (Traditional)

 

If you hold the gun level and open the action, if the empty casing clears the chamber, its Modern.

 

                 Trap doors because of the complex nature of opening, fall into Traditional even thou they eject

 

                 Original 1885s that do not eject are Traditional                                     Rolling Block - Traditional

 

                 Handi rifles with extractor or ejector deactivated Traditional                Sharps - Traditional

 

                 Newer 1885s or Browning 78s fall into Modern                                      Handi rifles with ejectors Modern

Please forgive my ignorance, what is the distance on the long range lever action pistol caliber? I may give it a go. 

 

Thanks,

I am not sure for this year as yet.   Bubba and Dawg have the targets set by the time I get there.  I live 3 1/2 hours from the range.  Last year the Revolver Target was set at 50 yards.

It's usually near the back of where stages 1 and 2 are I'd say 100 yards give or take.

Hooligan is correct.  I did not read your post correctly.  In my brain, I read Pistol and did not see the Lever Action Part.

 

The targets will be set as far out as possible, next to the back berm, as that is as far away as we can place them.  Last year the Firing Line was moved out from under the cover to the open field.  That way we will not be behind any of the participants shooting the Plainsman Match on the next stage.

 

We use the same target for the Lever Action Big Bore, the Lever Action Revolver Caliber, and the Rifle Caliber Single Shot Rifle.

 

I hope this information helps.

How many rounds is the course of fire for the single-shot rifles?

 

I’m assuming it’s 10 for pistol caliber lever rifle, 5 for big bore lever, and 5 for pistol.
