	Hummm, With all those beautiful Ballards as seen above in this thread I'm afraid our ranks are being overtaken by the LEAR JET Set..... Some pretty Hifalutin 1800's era equipment showin up... Whatza a kentucky muzzle stuffer to do..? Does this sound a little like Ballard jealousy ... well maybe. Nice equipment Gents..!

A Ron Long Ballard #6 38-55 for the ASOH match. An Aydt for the German match. Original sights. A Ballard 25-20SS for the .25 matches. Only match I used a scope in was the ASBR match. Someone asked if the scores are different without the Millers and Hochs and such. The scores are down. The shooters are fewer and older. It's become an old stickers and stayers match with lots of old original traditional rifles.

Now I remember, there was a Miller rifle in the fray but it went down due to stuck breech block woes. I remember the poor feller telling me about it.

You will probably recognize us goobers, we have the extra large brim hats which shield our eyes from the disapproving glare of the Glitterati... ============================================ Now I remember, there was a Miller rifle in the fray but it went down due to stuck breech block woes.

	Not true. We were even nice to the zip gun shooters. It was easy because there were few. The last great zip gun shooter was Kieth Meyers who stopped shooting because it was to easy to beat us old duffers with our antique Schuetzen rifles.
