	Chris, Have you checked Red Castle' Schedule? They are located near Tulsa. I know they shoot BPCR Silhouette. Contact the Match director. He may allow visitors. (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) Kurt

	Here are two more clubs: OKC (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links); Stillwater (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) They are shooting rimfire silhouette, which is a whole bunch cheaper on the ammo end of things, but pretty much the same rifles chambered for .22rimfire or BPCR rifles using .22LR inserts from Crossno or Shaver. Check out their club websites, as the OKC club also shoots BPCR silhouette on the 2nd Saturday. Matches are always open to non-competitors and most shooters are happy to talk about their rifles & shooting to folks who are interested in learning. There are three well known single-shot gunsmiths located near/in OKC. Dave Crossno, Steve Baldwin (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) and Dan Zimmerman in OKC near the airport. (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links); You can visit any of them and see some fine rifles/work. You would likely meet them at the matches as they all compete in both BPCR and .22rimfire silhouette.

I knew they shoot silhouette up at the Oklahoma City Gun Club...........but won't start for another month or so. I wasn't aware of the Stillwater club. And in all my ramblings on the many forums I've been on concerning these beautiful rifles, someone mentioned some guys in Oklahoma were single-action gunsmiths, but I lost track of their names, so thanks for the links. Might be fun to at least go visit them. Thanks for the links.

	This will also be 2 hours away, but Wanenmacher's Gun Show is in Tulsa. When it comes to collectable guns and accessories, you should find it there. (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) Kurt

	Thanks for the link, Kurt. I had no idea such a show was in Tulsa. Maybe I can talk some buds into chippin' in on some gas and we can all go together. The gun shows in OKC and Norman are getting to where all they are is "camo" shows.

	I forgot to mention the Jim Davis Museum in Claremore OK. It is worth a trip alone. (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) Kurt

	Kurt, I've never been to the Davis Museum. But I'm old enough to remember the Mason Hotel.............where it all started. He was one hell of a collector. There wasn't a flat spot on a wall in that entire hotel that didn't have a firearm nailed to it!

	As I remember the Davis Museum has quite a few single shot rifles and much more. Just consider many of those guns were given to him at the Hotel. The little Missouri town of Weston had Osborne Tavern on the outskirts at Osborne Junction. The locals use to bring in old guns and give them to the owner. In the corners, in the open rafters, in shadow boxes in the booths, there were all kinds of rifles, shotguns, and pistols. There were 1st generation Colts etc... We use to make a couple of trips a year there, to drink a beer, and look at Winchesters covered in dust and soot. It is long gone now. There was a heck of an auction when it shut down. Kurt

	When my brother lived in Midwest City, prior to moving to Slaughterville, I think he belonged to a club called Tri City? I remember we went over there to shoot on one trip back to visit.

	Indeed the Davis Museum is full of single-shot rifles. An excellent collection of Stevens Schuetzen rifles, amongst others. Some of the 400 year old guns in the collection are quite interesting. Matchlocks & wheelocks and such. Talk about a slow lock-time. Best small arms museum outside of Cody.

Membership roster is full and the only way to get in is to wait for one of 'em to die!!!!!

Mine is not only significantly faster than a flintlock, I believe it to be as fast as, if not faster than a percussion arm. The ignition ... for the uninitiated is absolutely INSTANTANEOUS!

	All of my single shots shoot one tiny ragged hole with cast bullets ... it's just the following shots that tend to open up my groups ...
