Eight clean shooters, some faces we hadn't seen for a while, some visitors and wonderful weather, all at the same time! 

Turned into a great day.

General Discussion / November Match Predictions
« on: November 08, 2023, 06:53:26 AM »
I predict...

1.)  Five main match stages and one side match.

2.)  Ammo count will be 10-10-4+ on the main match stages.  Side match will be 10 rifle and 10 handgun.

3.)  There will be some knockdown targets for your rifle.

4.)  Rifle targets will be at 10 yards or closer, handgun targets will be about 6 yards, and shotgun knockdown targets at about 8 yards.  The side match targets will be a little more difficult.

5.)  Longshot Luther made some bells for us and we'll be seeing the Texas star, too.

What do you predict?

Hope to see you there.

Nine clean shooters must be a record!  Very happy the weather turned out so nice.

Thanks to everyone who showed up and I hope you enjoyed the day as much as I did.

11.)  A smaller crowd than usual.

12.)  Main match handgun targets at about 6 paces, rifle targets at 10, and shotgun targets at 8.

13.)  If you want to clean the side match, you might need to use your sights.  Or, you might not.

P.S.  Happy Friday, the 13th!

7.)  No rifle or handgun knockdowns.  Of course, you're welcome to try.   :)

8.)  Pete will be there.

9.)  Two black powder shooters this time.

Anyone else care to make match predictions?  If you're right, you'll win a great prize!  *

General Discussion / Re: Number of stages
« on: September 20, 2023, 10:36:37 AM »
Shooting five stages on three bays comes with the cost of restricting us to two groups of shooters.  If a third posse is needed, during the course of the match, two of them will have to wait while the preceding posse shoots an entire stage. 

Example:  While posse A is shooting stages 1&2 on the first bay, posse B is shooting stages 3&4 on the second bay, and posse C is shooting stage 5 on the third bay.  When C gets done with stage 5, they will have to wait an entire stage before posse A can leave the first bay.  That delay repeats for posse B when they finish stage 5.

This setup will limit us to a total of 36 shooters unless two thirds of the shooters (posse B and C) are willing to set around waiting for the posse in front of them to change bays.

Congrats to Red and the clean shooters!

It looks like the majority of the match predictions were accurate, too.

Was great to see Keystone up and around and it's great to have Longshot Luther joining us again.

And J.D. Pakis did a fantastic job as a first-time posse leader!
