Thanks guys!
Traded into a High wall in 40-60 Maynard along with dies and components. Figured it might scratch my itch until my Sharps is built. Guess I could always use my trapdoor.

How many of the Q shooters also shoot BPCR Silhouette or Target Rifle?

Ian, from what I've seen, a lot of people shooting silhouette and target make the trip to the Q on a somewhat regular basis. There are many people though for who this is there only event of the year. The Q in an excellent entry point for people who aren't tight with any other shooters yet. Kinda like Pedersoli rifles are a good entry point for people looking to get into black powder shooting. The cost is low, the reward is high, and it encourages a person to grow in the sport.

CP89, your 40-60 will do fine at the Q. Get yourself a nice mold from BACO or Steve Brooks and start working on developing a load and shooting the rifle. Hi-walls are very competitive rifles and a lot of the top shooters use them. You can also check out my YouTube channel "Recoil Therapy Channel" and get everything from driving directions to the range to watching complete strings of fire so you'll know exactly what to expect when you get there. Too many people refer to the Q as a "once in a lifetime trip"....it's not. It's a "once a year trip". Youre gonna love it.

I would really like to try it sometime. I had some friends that I shoot with made the trip for the 2023 shoot. Going to some shoots out west would certainly be a very fun experience.

Best reserve a hotel room soon...there were 598 shooters this year. Forsyth is a small town only a few hotels. Most stay at the range in RV's.

Drag your camper and enjoy the trip. Lots of historic sites along the way and in the area you and Deans would get a kick out of.

She really really wants to go. She shoots the sillywets sitting. Going to the Q we would all be sitting of course. She would probably do well.

Think about this.

These 3 shot the IRONMAN at the Desert International Long Range Black Powder Target & the Q: Gullo, Venhous, Farringer, off the top of my head.

Last week, four of the five TEAM USA World Champion USMLIC ML Shooters shot the IRONMAN at the Desert International (DI) Long Range Black Powder Target Rifle event at Phoenix, Arizona, before travelling to Hungary.

If one is truly interested in shooting better, if not well, at the Q or anywhere else for that matter they would come to the Desert International to prove themselves, their rifle and load before attending any other match. The DI is where you build the abilities to shoot well in competition.

It is also where you discover that the wind is your friend.

That link should open up to the target pictures and descriptions.
Keep in mind that if you're going to be in the running for the big prizes, you might be able to miss one shot per target and still do ok.
If you get lucky in the draw and can shoot the buffalo first thing in the morning it helps a bunch. Sharpen up on wind and mirage reading skills, there are no flags and no sighter shots. So getting in Wednesday and getting some rough sight settings will be a help. Trying to get sight settings on Friday is a zoo, that's a good day to go see the range riders museum in Miles City.

target info and photos...

Don beat me to it...getting there days in advance is a great idea. I don't shoot too good so I get there the Sunday prior and start shooting Monday (and taking copious notes on wind). A guy who had a good handle on what he was doing could show up Wednesday and do fine.

[Don McDowell]

Better yet show up at the Big Hill and shoot that match the weekend before the Q
