Reverend P. Babcock Chase Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Howdy (again) Capt. I agree that we really aren't at odds with each other. I will say this: I don't support your chosen way of shooting, but I will support to the death right to shoot as you choose. And Widder, What on earth were your guns being inspected for? A hidden gas operating system? A clandestine belt feed? Rev. Chase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And one time, I think someone thought I was going to the line with a round in the mag tube, although I wasn't actually accused of it. Stuff happens. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin Gator SASS #29736 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 About 15 years ago when I was still working I'd show SASS videos to buddies. Badlands Bud, Lead Dispenser and others. I would carefully explain beforehand what the shooters were doing. Revolvers and rifle loaded, shotgun unloaded. Of course these top shooters were fast with all of the guns but it was difficult for my friends to believe that the shotgun started empty. I'd have to replay it several times for them to have a chance to see most of these shooters single loading over the top. Even then they had their doubts.

Shooting Bull Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 I never saw John Wayne or Clint Eastwood use two hands. (That's not entirely true. I've seen The Man With No Name fan his six guns on a few occasions.) Duelist is coolest. On a slightly more serious note: As long as you're being safe and within the rules I don't give a rat's patoot how you shoot. We're all here for the same thing, to have fun. I'll do it my way and you do it yours. I've never EVER understood how somebody else's idea of fun could possibly detract from mine. Or how me using short stroked pistols and rifles could cause somebody else heartache. That just baffles the Hell out of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Badly Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I like watching fast shooters and appreciate their efforts to do so. If I ever decide I want to move up in the overall list I will be doing it in B-Western baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Coffinmaker Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 But, but, but . . . . for those who "think" we should ALL be shooting one handed, just like "back in the day," this game we play was never intended to be a "reenactment" game. Was just to be a way to play a game with Single Action guns and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Their hurting the game". So what's a person to think when their chosen style of shooting is demonized by others? And why has one of my firearms been inspected a few times, when no one else firearms are inspected? ..........Widder Maybe the glint in your eye or the smirk on your face?

Tennessee williams Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I'm coming in late to this one (Probably a good thing). If you just like shooting one handed, shoot regular duelist style with the offhand or sign up for something age based or b western style. Cock it with the offhand and then remove it to pull the trigger. No harm and you shoot how you want. Just because you can't shoot that way in Duelist style categories shouldn't stop you shooting how you want. Personally speaking, it doesn't matter to me if someone is a "purist" or a "gamer" we all want to have fun. You don't have to shoot two handed or gunfighter to be a "gamer" either.
