Jailhouse Jim, SASS #13104 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 I almost never carry back ups. When I do, it's for a far away match with lots of shooting. Comin' Atcha shooting three different categories comes to mind. 36 stages over 4 days is on my to do list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramblin Gambler Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 I had to stop buying backup guns cause it's getting to be a pain loading them up every time. But now yall got me thinking about having a single backup pistol instead of an entire backup pair. Hmmm.. From now on I can only buy cowboy pistols in 3s I guess.

Identical sets of 3 (or more) has been my philosophy for several years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Bullweed Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 When I shoot Vaqueros, no backups. When I shoot Colt-copies or cap&ball, at least one back. Monthly match: no longgun backups. Multiday match: one each rifle and scattergun backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watab kid Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 shotguns were always my short suit - i started with a stevens hammerless 511 with long barrels that was my dads field gun - i gave it to my nephew/godson when he said he wanted to hunt with it , moved to a hammerless stoeger coach [i still have and shoot] then bought a couple long barreled 1897s [still have one of them] then a friend traded me the second 97 for a long barreled stevens 311 that i like for cowboy trap so im planning to shorten the 30" cylinder 97 i had been using for cowboy trap - it will become a match gun , then i found a stevens hammered double that i had cut to coach length in what i believe is a 211 , this all occurred over about 15 years and only last year could i actually claim a backup for match shotgun really , now ill have three deep and the trap option , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
