Thanks dmiculek - I looked at some of the stages set up in Thibodeaux for their matches and noticed that it does all cover 6 shots and a reload. I have been planning on a larger DA revolver ... may have to up the timeline for some fun.

I have two revolvers:
Ruger Blackhawk .45 Colt single action
Ruger SP101 5-shot .357
I have tried to read through the different organizations match/handgun rules and regs. Am I correct to assume that I will need a six-shot DA revolver for most practical shooting matches?

Talk less. Shoot more.
I like this Steve .... thanks for your advice. It is nice to know that there is still a simple element around (no disrespect). It does seem like everything is getting so complicated that it makes you wonder how our predecessors ever got by without being able to shoot...
LongRange - Is this because of weight limits on the treestand? what about one person wearing a harness!!!!!!

Thanks Sound - as much as I can tell for now, handgunning will be at ranges very similar to bow hunting so I will keep in mind your knowledge on camo. I didn't mean to say that I would intend to smoke while in a stand or blind ... just that clothes pick up the smell and hang on to it for a long...
NitroX - that is what I said alright. But ... keep in mind my subject line "New Hunter". I really don't know what to expect or plan for. I would expect that shots in S.La are not long range due to dense woods. What are typical shot distances in the south part of the state?
I am shooting a...
I am a few years from any of my previous hunting - I am now 46 and never shot a deer. I am working toward/planning to hunt deer with a handgun this next season. My last year has been spent practicing and reading. This year will be more practice and starting to get supplies.
Is there a...
