 I would like to see some of the top 97  shooters  If you show Widder please make sure he is not eating a NANNA SPLIT  while shooting.

 

Best Wishes

The Outlaw Travis James has a lot of videos showing some of the fastest in Florida.

TJB,   here are just a few of the best, atleast those I am aware.   Hopefully, you can find some YouTube videos on them.

 

Red Knee

Deuce Stevens

Sante Fe River Stan

Missouri Traveler

SideKick

Hells Comin

Copperhead Joe

The Outlaw Travis James

Arcadia Outlaw

Midwest Hale (fast Cowgirl)

AND, the fastest I've had the pleasure of seeing..... Gut C Gunman and his brother, Scrap P.

 

There may not be a video of him, but PHANTOM is pretty darn fast with his 97 also.

 

I'll probably think of a few more after I finish my Nanner Split......... 😀

 

..........Widder

Here is a new video of Skrap P practicing before going to Tennessee to shoot against Widder. This is 4 in 2.29 and is live fire, even though it doesn't sound like it.

Well, the title of this thread mentions wanting to see "the best 97 shooters."  I note that it says "best" not "fastest."

 

So, here's a video of me shooting my Black Diamond Trap Model, the absolute "best" 97 that money can buy.   :)

What load is that? It's crazy light (obviously a bit too light).

And the gentleman wins a cigar!   Long story short, I loaded up some far too light loads.  But I need to get rid of them, no matter how embarrassing it may be.  So, I'll dispose of them as best I can at locals.

10 Grains of Red Dot, 12 Gauge.   I read that it was a good, mild load.   Well, it's a mild load all right.  But it sure ain't a good one!  I upped to 12 grains.  That one is still mild, but is far more respectable.

It's because of your love of long barrels.  It probably would not have stuck in a 20" barrel. :D

Maybe...

But it still woulda been too light!

I think I'll take out the Parker to use up the rest of this stuff.   The one with 19.75" barrels.

There are a lot of 97 shooters on my YouTube Channel. While they have become fewer in recent times, you can go back and see them in the older playlists. One of the best would be EOT '21. I believe there were something like fourteen 97 shooters on our nineteen person posse.

 

One of the advantages of my channel is that there are so many of us 97 crazies, that you can see many different loading techniques. Some of the ones to watch there would be: Santa Fe River Stan (before he switched to a double in Nov '21), Dang It Dan (before he switched to a double in Nov '21), Midwest Hale, Arcadia Outlaw, JP Law, Delta Glen, & The OTJ. Pay close attention to how each shooter operates the slide. We are all a little different. Also pay attention to how to the two from the right shooters pull the trigger with their middle finger for the first shot and the idex for the second. 

 

The techniques you will see are:

  • Two From the Right - Midwest Hale, Chickie Winsome
  • Three Over the Top (left) and one from the right - Santa Fe River Stan, Delta Glen
  • Four Over the Top (left) - Arcadia Outlaw, JP Law, The OTJ, Dang It Dan

My Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/TheOTJ 

 

I also have videos of Sidekick shooting a 97 at Ambush at Cavern Cove 2023. Check that playlist as well.

Thank you all.

Next question I saw a 97 that had a feed ramp ground into the action so that the shell is guided ito the barrel easier.Is this common?

I don't know why, because I feel good and healthy again, but since open heart 'bionic' surgery (Pig Valve)

my rhythm seems to be off a little when needed the most.

 

If the TN State had a 'water pistol' side match, I might have faired a little better...... :)

 

You were sure smokin though.   Great to watch you and those kids burn em down.  

 

..........Widder
