I think Viv shoots a ROA same as I do & I also load off the gun

I have a stand that I had made in the states & remove the cylinder from the gun & we set up a loading station on the range

Our club (like others) has a rule that when anyone goes forward - no-one touches guns at the firing point - so we are able to reload cylinders 'off the gun' away from the firing point while other shooters are forward scoring & patching etc

We found this about doubled the amount of shots the BP shooters could get off on a shoot - as usually they are stood away from the gun waiting for the other shooters (gallery rifle fb & sb) to patch & score

....and on a ROA - you can drop the cylinder in less than a second !

If you want any info on loading stands - drop me a mail (addy on my page) - glad to give what advice I can - found very little suitable in the UK - hence I went to the US for mine

Cheers
