Bring at least that much for the Wild Bunch! Major Matt...you want to run that one?
Griz - Frontier cartridge sounds right. Yes, 2 pistols, lever action pistol caliber rifle and a shotgun. Lots of shooting. If you need a weapon or two, let me know. We'd be happy to loan anything you need - or anyone else. You can use your bandoleer also if you want. This is not a state championship match. Although, those wanting a warm up to the state championship match are going to get one!
There really isn't any difference in the shooting rules between NCOWS and SASS except SASS is a 5 second miss and there is no 2 gun category BUT if you want to shoot 2 guns and take the misses on the rest of the targets, no one would stop you. Targets are standard SASS size - not small and also rather close compared to what you shoot in Garnett. Yes...we go for speed but accuracy makes a difference as well. We did try to be a little clever and put a few props out among the targets - which aren't supposed to be shot. Since you don't miss, there won't be any need to worry about that!!
We do shoot a lot of rounds. Shotgun slides and gun carts are allowed - I know...not pc....but allowed anyway. AND we are a friendly bunch.
We're working to get stages looking good - adding some replica and a few authentic items. There will be a Blacksmith/corral, Train, Saloon (of course), Mercantile and Jail (another of course). Stages are all historically based - it's the Kansas Lawmen this year - although the rounds and all guns shot on each stage aren't exactly right ... but actual news stories of events/shoot outs are replicated. I never said the newspaper accounts were 100% accurate - but they are colorful!
Oh yes, if you will be arriving by noon on Friday, there is a long range shoot. We can't get targets WAY out there because the range doesn't have the space. Pistol Calibre is 100 and 150 yards and Big Bore is 150 and 180 yards. 1 spotter round on each target if you want it and then 5 rounds at each target - 10 total. Something like that. As you can tell, I'm not a long range shooter, and thankfully, I'm not responsible for it either!
There will be speed matches also (rifle, pistol, double barrel and 97 shotgun) and a team match. Teams are DRAWN so there's no gamer teams unless it happens by chance..... Also, Wild Bunch. Saturday afternoon you can shoot some side matches and there will also be Cowboy Trap and Skeet. Trap and Skeet are 25 rounds each - shot just like any other trap or skeet shoot EXCEPT done with the cowboy guns. Trap and Skeet cost $5.00 each if you want to shoot.
AND we'll probably set out the dueling tree and the dreaded plate rack just for some fun plinking.
Capital City Cowboys do have a local range rule - 2nd squib is a Match DQ.

We're looking forward to you seeing all of you at T Town!
