Trying to fast at shooting duelist
Creeker, SASS #43022 replied to Stagecoach south's topic in SASS Wire
Ya know - a couple of my companies are exploring A.I. for social media creation and automated responses. I initially skimmed the post the first time, but reading this post again - it reads almost EXACTLY like an Artificial Intelligence created ChatGPT style posting. And if you read it ALOUD - there is no doubt it is a generated post. Im having my doubts that our "friend" with a whole 5 posts actually exists. - Today

Trying to fast at shooting duelist
Creeker, SASS #43022 replied to Stagecoach south's topic in SASS Wire
+ as many as Widder wants. I have said this for "all the years" Speed is INFINITELY more difficult than accuracy. If you do everything correctly - you WILL hit the target; do everything exactly the same again and you WILL hit the target again. Accuracy (at least at "normal" people distances) is a trainable, repeatable skill - it is a SCIENCE. Speed is an ART. It is incredibly difficult to train another person to "go fast". Many, whether for fear of crashing, failing or "safety" have an internal limiter that they simply refuse to go beyond - they cannot or will not exceed a certain percentage of their ability. A number of folks on this forum have years of experience; boxes of trophies and many a story of trainwreck - the scars of which we wear just as proudly as the buckles on our belts. These are the folks whose "opinions" I seek out when I am exploring improvement. -
I’ll take it

"....... pinpoint accuracy". I don't know where you shoot, but "pinpoint accuracy" ain't exactly a big requirement when shooting at 18" square targets at 6 yards. ..........Widder -

I remember him in Norco. One of the first EOT's there, I wasn't a SASS shooter yet, he came up to me and told me all about SASS.

Garage Door Latches....
Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 replied to Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
This particular garage doesn't lend itself to an "inset" pedestrian door, and there's no room in the front of the garage for another door. Actually, there is a pedestrian door in back - I want access to the front for large stuff, like the riding mower, welding cart, boat motors and such. So the latch set that @sassnetguy50 found might be the ticket - when looking at it I stumbled upon this one, which might bear consideration: "Old School Garage Latch" -

I saw a metal tool box that someone made into a portable grill somewhere online recently. I am going to have to go looking for it. -
I had a woman I worked with convinced that she could buy a trunk monkey from the Suburban Auto Group. I convinced her to call them. She did. She was not as amused as the lady that answered the phone was. I got a lot of dirty looks for a few days. Probably because every time she glared at me I burst into laughter. She was and maybe still is a brunette.

If you posted where you live, some on here may also step forward to help.

I shoot 428 coated bullets in Pietta GW II pistols with 429 bores and a Uberti 73 rifle with a 429 bore. No leading problems and decent accuracy, good enough for SASS competition. If you run 430 bullets you’ll need a flaring die for 44 Spl or a 44 mag. If you use a 44-40 die you’ll get a bulged case neck and have trouble chambering. My rifle is from 2001 and has a 429 bore but a 427 chamber and won’t work with 430 bullets because it causes drag when chambering and causes you to slow down shooting.

I recommend going to a match and asking about reloading. Someone, if not many, will step forward to mentor you. I have offered at our club to teach anyone how to cast bullets from .38/.357 to .458 for the .45-70. The match director has offered to teach anyone to reload. I would do the same.

Start with what you can afford. Never a champ, but began with Ruger OMV, amped them up , sold them and ended up with Colts. A matter of enjoyment, and saving up a bit. Practice and skill is more important than brand.

On my Windows 10 laptop, I right-click the link, then select Open Link in New Tab. That does not open another tab, but downloads the file. I go to my downloads folder and from there both the Photo viewer and Paint will open the image. -
