Cowboy Action Shooting: At the Loading Table

What to Bring to the Loading Table
It's almost time! Bring with you to the loading table your long guns and ammo. Know how many rifle rounds are shot on that stage, it may vary. In Cowboy Action Shooting you will almost always load 5 rounds in each pistol. A leather (or wood block) loading strip can really go a long way to help you keep track of how many rounds you are bringing to the stage. Loading strips usually hold 20 rounds (4 sections of 5, or 2 sections of 10). This makes it easy to count out 10 rounds for your pistols. The remaining 10 holes in your loading strip will be sufficient to hold the 9 or 10 rifle rounds usually required for most stages.

Make sure also that you have enough shotgun rounds in your belt to shoot the entire stage, and have extra in case you fumble and drop some, or for making up any misses. It is better to have more than you need than not enough!

Where did you get that ammo holder?

[CowboyActionTown]

@jpevh This loading strip I got from Ted Blocker Holsters. This is my favorite style loading strip. Or you can get a different style strap from Kirkpatrick Leather Company that some other people prefer. I added links to where you can find both of these in the video description since I can't link to them here in the comments.
