AMB,
Thx -- I've never shot on a range set up in yards and thought that the targets were supposed to be sized accordingly. (I'm surprised. That effectively provides an almost 10% 'advantage'. Can records be established on a 'short' range with full-size targets?)
I don't have Ron's scores. Eric Poole will write that article. All I did was take some photos and work as line officer. Between that and ferrying the target setters back and forth at the longer range, I didn't pay all that much attention to specific scores, just to the overall match development.
Ray,
We combine cowboy smallbore and pistol cartridge with our hunter pistol match on the 1st Saturday. (SB in the morning.) Also, you can use any cowboy lever smallbore in our monthly smallbore fun match on the 4th Saturday. We don't have the full-size targets for the long range event and at this time we don't have any plans that I know of to reset the range for them anyway. I doubt that that will change.
Ft Wolters has targets and could readily set up berms for cowboy but I'm not sure I can see that happening unless there's an interested 'push' at TSRA level.
Zander was talking at Raton about a full-distance cowboy course. (200, 300, 385 & 500.) He was only partly serious but I think it might be fun and just might take an iron sight lever to the next Ft Wolters match and see if anything falls!
