I visited a local CAS last Sunday to see how it all worked and figure out if I really would like to get into it. The answer is, yes I would!
Heres the thing... A couple people warned me about using BP pistols for a few different reasons. One was reloading time between shooting, and a potential to slow things down. I honestly thought there was more than enough time to reload between shooting (since its not loaded til a cap goes on).
What I am a little worried about though is that I was told in certain shoots you have to hit all the targets...even if that means reloading while you're up there. That...would be a bit of an issue.
Basically, I'm thinking about carrying an extra cylinder, putting caps on at the loading table to take it up with me, and then after shooting if I didn't have to use it, pull the caps off at the second table.
Has anybody dealt with this/have suggestions?
Oh, and I know missing shouldn't be much of a prob at those distances...but...
