Itchy Trigger Posted November 16, 2023 Posted November 16, 2023 Texas Tornado Style - Big Targets which are close and personal. They put an emphasis on how fast you can operate your guns more than accuracy. I like it for 1-2 stages, but don't prefer it for the entire match like some do. One range has an extreme example at one stage which is a large 4'x8' piece of steel real close to the shooter. I don't know if a single posse has managed to go clean, someone always tries to shoot too fast and misses.

I don't know if a single posse has managed to go clean, someone always tries to shoot too fast and misses. First of all...bull! But let me answer the question first. The Texas Tornado Style is fashioned after Bordertown. Big and Close. Now to the BS about this style only being about how fast you can operate your guns. This belief is based on ignorance of the game. The Big and Close matches puts an emphasis on Running your guns fast AND efficiently (of course), but it also requires very refined transitions in order to win. Accuracy is always needed. To say otherwise is silly! Any match is "cleanable" if you remove the timer. Phantom

Anvil Al #59168 Posted November 17, 2023 Posted November 17, 2023 The State match last year was BIG and CLOSE. It was also a BLAST. Looking forward to it again this year. They did a great job hosting it. Already signed up.

Chief Rick Posted November 19, 2023 Author Posted November 19, 2023 My wife is a teacher and that's the last week of school for her, so she can't go. She said she doesn't mind if I make the trip, though.

RV will already be packed and ready to go. We should be there around 4ish. It is only an hour and a half drive for me towing the Montana beast. TM
