Even though many THR black powder shooters are not interested in Cowboy Action Shooting, you may find this video interesting.
The Single Action Shooting Society has established a "minimum smoke requirement" for competition in black powder categories. Shooters trying to get an edge on their fellow competitors by reducing charges and making less smoke run the risk of having a challenge lodged against them. But many match officials don't shoot black powder and therefore don't know what the "minimum smoke cloud" looks like.
I spent a fun afternoon at the range (94 degrees, 60 % humidity!) making a visual reference of the standard smoke cloud. Since folks in this forum apparently like black powder smoke, I thought you might enjoy it.
