You would be guessing correctly.

How?

So, Scarlett Darlin’ would be a professional? Misty Moonshine or CC Moonshine? All three make their living of off the shooting sports..

But she’s retired.

Just how do you define a “professional” shooter?

PM sent.

@BradyT88 I meant to tag you in the above post.

I use the 7 rd stainless ones with hybrid lips and GI dimpled follower.

Th Rugers are great guns. I don’t think a Lightweight would be my choice for Wild Bunch.

Well, it is called Wild Bunch ACTION SHOOTING! If I want entertainment, I’ll turn on the movie and watch it. For me the fun is in the challenge. Figuring out how I can shoot a stage to the best of my abilities. What can I do to better myself. I’ve said for years that WBAS isn’t for everyone. Neither is benchrest shooting, NASCAR racing or brain surgery.

They absolutely are slower with the lighter bullet. Having spent way more time and money testing it, the 230 at 700-725 fps is the way to go. Anyone want my leftover 250 gr bullets I was trying to see if they were worth it….

Thank you, sir. Got tired of breaking pins and figured there had to be a better way. Best, Boggus

It’s already going there… Hell, there has been a push for a number of years to go back to 5 in the magazine.

Most of the SDQs were moving with a loaded gun on the all knock down stage.

Checkmate makes mags for Ruger, Colt, Ed Brown and many others. They have run the best for me. You have to pay extra to have Tripp weld the base plate on their mags just to make them stay on. You’d think on the most expensive magazine on the market it would work without having to pay extra… Using 7 round mags keeps you from accidentally overloading the mag. Keep your 8 round mags for every day carry, if they’re good mags or use them for other shooting games.

Folks, I just finished a new batch of firing pins. I have plenty available. Along with new hammer springs. If you have ordered any from me recently, they are already on the way or will be Monday. Thanks!

But the targets weren’t 3 feet away… And nobody runs at 150. The shooters run around 165. For the cushion.

But with the goal to get the targets so close to bump them with the muzzle, that power factor would be too dangerous. Remember, this is about “entertainment”, not shooting skills. People want a clean match so instead of learning to shoot better, that’s make the targets so big and so close, you have to try to miss them.

You can dry fire with mine until you wear yourself out and it won’t break. A new batch should be in my hands in the next few days.

Poor stage design combined with cowboy shooters…

Exactly!

Well, there were 33 stage DQs. With two people getting two stage DQs.

One of the positives of this forum and the cowboy forum being different is here you can send pics in the private messages. You can’t do that on the cowboy wire.

My question would be is do you have the correct slide stop? I believe it should be stamped “2” on the frame side.

You’ve got some good advice here and some poor advice. I’m going to against the grain with a couple things, though. You’ll hear people say “front sight”! Forget it! Your mind should know now how to line up the sights on target. MUCH more important is proper trigger manipulation. You can spend all day lining up the sights perfectly but when you jerk the trigger all that is moot. Dry fire practice and slow fire target practice will help. But everyone flinches to some degree at some point. Controlling it is the key. That’s the only place dummy rounds are handy loaded in the mag. It will show you your flinch. Also, forget “muscle memory”. It’s a fallacy. Your brain tells every muscle what to do, when to do it and how much to do it. Don’t pay attention to where the empty mag falls. Too many people waste too much time making sure they land on the table or carpet. All you want is it out of the gun. As for malfunctions, properly tuned guns with quality ammo and proper mags mitigate malfunctions to practically nil. Also, no need to go to the line with a “Barney” mag. That will be the mag you grab when you need a full mag.
