Reading all the threads on the Mare's leg pistol has got me thinking, How about a 1 or 2 stage side match that used a gun or guns that are "old west" in flavor if not actually historical, and don't have a place in any main match events.
The mares leg is the first one that comes to mind, but the new EMF pepper box on the navy frame is another interesting gun that might be fun to shoot. the LeMat is another one that people seem to love but isn't practical as a main match gun. Then there is the revolving rifles and the detachable shoulder stocks for the cap-n-ball pistols. Again all really neat guns without a place to shoot in our sport. maybe even some pre-1900 double actions
A simple 5 shot stage with targets at the max pistol/minimum rifle distance. 2 classes, cartridge or cap-n-ball
no other division needed. Maybe a .22 class for even more chance at variety. Could be a quick and fun warm up or cool down at a monthly or a "something different" for an annual match. Could even just call it an "open" match.
See what happens when I get to thinkin'?
