Tully Mars Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 This years California State WB match offered a two stage Doughboy and Teddy Roosevelt side match. We weren't sure just how popular it would be, so we kept it to two stages, most shot TR, a handful shot DB. Many folks approached me during the weekend mentioning that they are now looking for a DB rifle. We used a shared bay, with one posse and kept the round count at 5 rifle for each category. The same rifle scenarios were used by both TR and DB. Future matches will have a higher rifle round count, we were concerned about, striper clips and time. So we kept it simple. In time we will increase the round count of both categories. One stage had a Texas Star as the rifle target, the other three 12" hanging Diamonds, both were set at 25 yards. Folks seemed to like it.

DUSTY BODDAMS Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Tully Congratulations for offering these side matches. TR/DB/BAMM have proven to be winners everywhere it’s been offered. What do you think the percentage was that tried it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tully Mars Posted May 24, 2022 Author Share Posted May 24, 2022 Hey Dusty, One third of the main match shooters shot TR, only 4 shot DB, but that number would have increased had I gotten the word out sooner that we had a loaner rifle and ammo available.

DUSTY BODDAMS Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 That’s really good for the first rattle out of the box. Using a loaner rifle was a powerful tool for us to spread BAMM etc. pretty much could give a shooter 10 rounds on 2 stripper clips and they were hooked! We did that to Grouchy Spike and when he got back to south Texas bought a rifle and did the same thing. I bet he hooked 40-50 shooters by himself! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artemus Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 This is great to hear. I love seeing TR and DB getting out to the masses. Now if I could just shoot DB full time for a main match I would be set! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
