i agree, Marlene, and I've already added a pretty inclusive single-load class (exactly as you describe it) to the match rules.

I've delayed posting the directions because the weather in so many areas of the country is still lousy. I intend to post the match next week.

Re: 2nd MAD MINUTE Coming Up

I have been "practicing" with my 1885 winchester but have encountered a PITA problem. Sometimes empty 22lr brass drops down inside the receiver. Which means taking the gun completely apart to remove it.

It falls behind the block and down inside the lever and trigger area.

So if Sail Design or Marlene, or other 1885 owners have an idea on preventing this ?

Dont matter if I eject fast or slow, sometimes they just dont pop all the way free of the gun, and I either have to reach in and remove it , or it falls inside the gun. This really slows down a mad minute.
Which by the way, I have up to a whole 10 rounds a minute now. Excluding brass drop ins. Lol

This is just my opinion, yours may vary and is no less valid.

Went to the range on Sunday to try this out... I had one case that didn't get tossed clear, and was able to get off 10 shots in 50 seconds I had no timer beyond my watch, so I started it, shot 10, then stopped it to check. One of the RSO's said he'd be timer when I actually shoot the beast, so that'll help. I refuse to take time out of my madness to check between shots. :)

So - I'm hoping for a clean 12 or 13 in a minute this way. Things like ammo placement really matter here, and keeping the position while loading. I was working at 25 yards, so cut the paper in half and put a spot in the middle for a POA. All shots on the paper.

This could be the most relaxed mad minute ever. :)

I don't want to be the kid who doesn't know there's a test today...
I'm going to the range in a while and need to know if I should pack the 10/22.
Not yet. It will probably start this coming week -- after everyone is done with taxes. You'll see the announcement near the top of the competition forum.
