Hoss Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 I’m in! Decisions decisions….do I bring trapdoor & shoot traditional or Handi-rifle with ejector & shoot Modern????? (leaning towards the Trapdoor, it’s just more fun to shoot!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artemus Von Schutze Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Hoss, you're not wrong. If they would let me shoot it main match or plainsman main match I would. That trapdoor is just fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asa Smith Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Hate to sound like the fool but.... What is a "Plainsman" match? Trapdoors and such make it sound interesting... Asa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sedalia Dave Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 It needs to be pointed out that full house BP 45-70 loads are not needed and can damage the targets. 40 grains of BP is plenty of powder. I know several shooters that use a .457 round ball in their 45-70 rounds. Seating the ball just past center and lightly crimping the case mouth to keep it from coming out. More than accurate enough for Plainsman distances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamond Jake Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 I'll be there watching but won't be participating. I plan to arrive at the range that day right around noon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griff Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 I use a Miroku 1885 in 45 Colt... more than adequate for Plainsmen distances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 I’ll be using a H&R trapdoor officers model. I tried a 105 grain “button Bullet”. Couldn’t hit a Buffalo if one swallowed me whole ! I use a 305 grn bear creek Bullet & APP. Plainsman is fun. And a couple of matches a year cure me if the capgun fever! I do enjoy shooting the Trapdoor.

Edward R S Canby, SASS#59971 Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 A Plainsman match is not so much a match as a social event where we all get to see Sharps, Trapdoors, Rolling Blocks, 1885 Low Walls and yes, Handi-Rifles shoot along with every cap gun imaginable. I will probably shoot my baby rolling block at this event. I've been shooting a 45-70 with reduced loads all year. It's time to pull the baby rolling block out of the safe for one match.

Itchy Trigger Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 I'd shoot it, if I had the guns and ammo. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what’s even better, he will let you shoot them after the match. Really neat old rifles. the Burnside has a really unusual cartridge. Looks like an ice cream cone!

Hoss Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 I think their should be a new category. Plainsman without pistols!!! I love shooting the trapdoor, but those cap guns…ugh! But, thanks Chili Pepper Pete, it was a lot of fun. I appreciate your running the posse. And I’ll double my previous offer for that hat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itchy Trigger Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Lots of fun! it took a while with one large posse, but it made it even more enjoyable. I wasn’t in a hurry, I came here to be with friends, make some new ones, and have fun shooting. Thanks all.
