I really wish someone had videoed the Partners match, as it was a wonderful display of uncoordinated coordination. Partners were chosen by drawing names from a hat. Long guns needed to be repeaters. Course was 15 steel plates, each needing to be shot once from each of 3 advancing positions, advancing in succession, the last position for handguns.
I had not intended to shoot it, as we originally had odd numbers. Then Jerry showed up, so now the numbers were even, so Andy lent me his .45 Colt 1873 Carbine. I used my own M1851 Navy Conversion, with .38 BP loads. We started with full magazines. Jerrys 1903 was having trouble feeding, so he came on line just as I ran empty, and finished off the targets as I began a reload. We advanced to the 2nd position, Jerry emptied the 03 as I finished loading, and I came on line and finished up. We then advanced to the pistol line, Jerry drawing his as I came up with the 51. My first round squibbed. I called "Squib" and Andy's SAA .45 suddenly appeared over my right shoulder. I holstered with my right as I grabbed the .45 with my left as Jerry popped away. I loaded 6 (pouch filled with Andy's .45 reloads on my person for the rifle) and came up as Jerry reloaded, and took down 6 targets as Jerry cleared the rest.
That is the first BP Squib I've ever had, same loads that I'd been shooting all weekend. Ah well. For those interested, I used my Chiappa Sharps .50-70 Carbine for this match, and shot it clean with fast overall time for the 3 Skirmish runs. That was a lot of fun, adding to a fun weekend.
