NCOWS National Match 2021

Is there any information available as to what forearms to bring for sidematches? 

I checked the NCOWS website,  "still under construction"  (not being critical, I assure you!)

Side matches seem to be in flux. But from what I've heard, long range rifle(s), main match guns, pocket pistol, shotgun for clay targets.

Is there any information available as to what forearms to bring for sidematches?

Usually a left and a right,  but I believe Popeye forearms are considered "unapproved" unless you can provide photographic documentation.



Dang spell checker!

[Mogorilla]

I think for range safety, you should not be using spinach with those forearms, maybe arugula?   don't go all iceberg gamer on us though.

[Yuma Kid]

Did we ever hear if lunches will be available?

[Mogorilla]

Scotty will be  providing salad.   

I believe there will be lunches to purchase.  Trap or Books can confirm.

Took 2x Merwin's to range today, both 1st time I fired, 44/40 3.5"bbl, Pocket Army, & a 7 shot 32 5.5"bbl with folding hammer. 44/40 no problem, 32, pull trigger hard/fast, over rotates, cocking hard with off hand also over rotates. Slower deliberate pull functional.
Will use 44/40, May use 32 at match.

That .44 pocket army is I think on a lot of people's bucket list, mine for sure!

Oh, none taken I assure you. If the shoe fits and all that. Besides I want to make sure my spotter keeps brining both his right and his left forearms when keeping me on target.
I have to take advantage of somebody else's mis-spellings every time I get a chance.

[River City John]

Here's an odd question . . .

What do the NCOWS members in Kansas recommend/use as an effective tick repellent? Or any NCOWS member, for that matter.
(And don't tell me a pair of tweezers . . .)

Why would your spotter be putting pickle brine on his forearms?

[Mogorilla]

So to River City, as a Former member of missouri's irregulars, then a stint of redistributing money to those in need from retrobates like banks and railroads, I found time to play an interesting role playing game where I pretend to be a scientist in 21st century America, living in an area called the suburbs, mowing the yard (lately have been rolling ones on my d20 because i am mowing all the time!).   So this scientist has done some work in the pesticide field.    Get a treatment with an active ingredient that ends in -thrin.  Permethrin, cypermethrin, etc.   follow application directions, but probably they will have you treat the outside of your clothes and let them dry before putting them on.   The clip on items for your belt work great if  you are not moving much.   

Any of the thrins are derived/synthethics from chrysanthemums, the flowers have been used for several thousand years to ward off ticks, fleas, etc.   You can link the Chinese Chrysanthemum festival to fighting off the plague, where it traveled west.   Napoleon's troops carried Chrysanthemum powder.  Plant them in your yard if you have a tick problem.   

[River City John]

Thanks Mo.
I only seem to have a tick problem when shooting in Kansas.

[Dusty Tagalon]

Going to have fun, all guns original! Carrying 6 revolvers, each stage on Friday will be shot with a different revolver, 4 different calibers, Saturday will carry 1 caliber only.
4x revolvers scarce/rare. S&W New Model #3 Australian, S&W DA in 38/40, S&W 1899 32/20 Target, & a 7 shot Merwin 32.

I always bring Okla Tom. He is a natural Kansas tick magnet. Don't stand too close.

It's a tough job, but I gotta protect my friends. It was only 30 or so ticks this year.

National Match late development.

As the side matches were declared, the pieces fell into place for a NCOWS Pocket Pistol Championship.

There are 3 pocket pistol side matches.  The best combined time/score for the 3 PP matches will be crowned the NCOWS Pocket Pistol Champion.
