COB,
I was not thinking of the Challenge Event. I was thinking of the subgauge events on the sporting courses at these events. My original post/ question was brought up after multiple conversations with some folks who want to start up/ grow a shoot. They were interested in allowing tube sets so to include more shooters. I raised the question to get a feeling on how our group felt about this. |

In my opinion, if you want to start up a new event you can run it by any set of rules you choose to use or devise. "The more the merrier" is a worthy base for starting a new shoot.

John, great thread. I started shooting these vintage events because I was bored with the registered target events where everyone shot the same guns, be they K-80's, Beretta's or whatever. The guns meant nothing, only the final scores. To me the gun is everything and the vintage events brought out some killer SxS's that one might never see or get a chance to shoot. I now shoot for fun, with all originally configured guns. My opinion is shoot what you want, tubes sets, choke tubes but if we are to stay true to the vintage tradition, then only original guns, NO modifications. If anyone wants to experience the true vintage tradition, then please join us at Drake's. We shoot for fun, no scorecards, lots of harassment, some pretty nice guns and we come away totally relaxed. It's always fun watching Mark O. blow confetti out of those 10's and crush targets.

So, the truth is out on how Dr. John shots soooo well. It is his " Truitt Special". I knew he was beating me by "cheating". JUST KIDDING. John is a very good shooter and does not need to "cheat" but I will use that as an excuse. Frank

I think a Truitt special is any gun in John's hands, be it a Red Ryder or his Parker hammer gun with the 34" barrels. What I have seen and heard of the hammer gun is all above board.
From what I have seen and heard, the 34" hammer gun has new barrels that are like a set of barrels could have been made "back in the day". Nothing wrong with that from where I stand. Last edited by Mills Morrison; 01-21-2014 at 03:49 PM.. Reason: More info |
