When to a River City Regulators match in Davis, CA and had an awesome time. Took my .45 Kirst/Piettas (Saber River 1860 and NMA 1858), and my HRA 011 Henry .44-40. Their matches often have farther and more challenging targets than the standard 24x24 pistol plate at 3-5 yards. In fact, one stage had a 8" diamond, heart. spade, club set at from 7 ton 10 yards for pistol. Another had small 12" cowboys at 25 yards for bonus rifle (shooting from a spring loaded buckboard seat!). I shot a clean match with all guns, and even got 9 out of 10 bonus 25 yard cowboys on the bouncing buckboard!
All guns performed awesome! best match I have had in years....
