They say it can't be done

Something else to consider, if you are going to be wiping between shots. The one thing that will help the most and speed things up, is to have everything set up and laid out just where you need it to be. This is something you can practice at home. Figure where to lay your rod, where to set your patches and where your ammo will be setting, that way you can just reach for it and go. No looking around trying to find this or that. Something else to consider, and I saw this at the 1000 yard match at Read Range. Set up a catch basket under your muzzle infront of your sticks if you can. This will catch your patches and make clean up after your done a heck of a lot easier and faster. Also you can then pack your stuff on top of your used patches to carry it to and from the firing point. Saves time and trips back and forth. Don't need to be huffing and puffing when it comes time to start shooting.
A final word, shooting those steel critters can get addicting. While its nice to be able to see where you hit on the paper, hear the clang on a gone, its just neat as hell to see them jump around and fall over after you pull the trigger. I think that the greatest shot I have made to date was the day a friend of mine came out to the range to shoot my Sharps, as he was walking up I was shooting off hand at the rams and as he watched I hit one in the ass. I spun it around and took it off of both stands so it would count as a hit but it didn't fall down, just turned to face us.
