Life is easier NOT playing on FB. I cannot think of a more stressful way to waste time.

Howdy Big Jake, I don't do Facebook...or any other social media of that nature. Years ago I joined a service like Facebook and within 48 hours realized that it was loaded with PC morons and annoying people from my past that I wanted to keep in my past so I quit. All of my family does Facebook and I get badgered to join but life is too short for frustration of the nature that only Facebook can bring me. Besides, Facebook creeps me out. It's almost like a "movement" from a sci-fi novel where everyone must join to be a citizen or something. I get so frustrated when I am researching a product or want to contact an on line vendor and when I click "Contact Us" they immediately want you to go through Facebook or you look for something and a window pops up with the words "Like us on Facebook". If it involves Facebook I stay away. Yes, I am paranoid but with good reason.

The plot of Plan Nine From Outer Space made more sense than this.

I have several Muslim friends. Two are doctors who have practiced medicine in this community for 40 years. Another is a woman from Turkey who was a secretary in our office for years, whose son was terribly wounded in US Army service in Iraq, and who has risked her own life speaking out against Islamic extremism in many public forums.

He's done two of my Colt's and the third will be going to him in a few weeks. A great gentleman, and the only one who I will send my Colts to. SC

Yep, Theres the Sharps Group, Blackpowder Group, Longrifles, Texas Chert (artifacts), several history and science groups, and Woodturning too. And yes, had some run-ins with "friends" who are no longer friends.

I've been in their jail a couple of times over the last few years. The last time was leading up to the election.

Design was from requirements stated in WW I?

Give us a report if you will, Allie. If I get to my favorite seafood market, I may pick up some crab meat and try it.

I'd buy every one I could find at that price. Screaming deal.

One thing about it. If you forget and leave it at the range. It'll still be there waiting till your next visit.

Hi Folks, I'm sorry that I felt it necessary to lock the "Invisible Members?" thread. I'd like to continue part of that thread with a more positive tone. Everyone, you may start a new thread to further discuss the topics in that thread. My new questions are to our newest members, say numbers 100,000 and up, and guests who are thinking about joining. Why did you join SASS? If you have not joined, why not? Is there anything you would like to see changed? I hope that all of you newer folks will take the time to make your thoughts known. I've often thought (in my former life as a w^rker) that new people can provide valuable insight into entrenched processes. Regards, Allie Mo PS If you are an old (number) member and are not renewing, that would be a topic for another thread.

If you don't want to do the simple five minute modification to your '97 (took me all of 2 minutes to change out the spring in mine), then use a Winchester Model 12, they hold six shells without any modifications.

So... the game has to be "dummed down" to the lowest common denominator? What about folks that have 16" carbines, only hold 9, do we have to limit the number of shots allowed to 9? No, those folks either load any additional rounds on the clock, modify their gun, (or ammo - load short cartridges), or buy another gun that holds the most common number of rounds seen in a stage. If they choose option A, they're choosing to put themselves under a handicap, they are not "forced" to do anything. My '97 only holds 5 also... unless I use shells that have an overall loaded length that allows that 6th round to be squeezed in. Not a problem. I buy that brand of shell. I don't have short stroke kits in any rifles or pistols... should I just quit, because they're allowed? There are enough things in the world to be principled about... IMO, this ain't one of 'em. Folks complained when the official WB rules were announced that they "had to have" a 1911. Some folks, I imagine on principle also, won't shoot because of that rule. I never owned a '97 until WB. I personally feel they're not appropriate for a "cowboy" game; plus, under the cowboy rules, I'm faster with a double. I decided that if I was going to join in on the fun, I better get a '97. I now have 3. Had I stood on my "principles", I wouldn't be shootin' with friends and havin' FUN! BTW, while some of our WB stages have 6 shotgun rounds, not all do. If you shoot cowboy with a '97, you're probably pretty practiced at loadin' one on the clock... No, the STUPID rule in WB is limiting the 1911 to 5 rounds, when it was clearly designed and introduced with SEVEN round magazines. But, because cowboy action shooters can't count past 5, we have to limit the 1911 accordingly!

H.K. Uria I think your reason for not shooting W.B. is ridiculous. With your way of thinking, everyone would be shooting black powder. Is the barrel of you shotgun sawed off, if it is, you modified your gun to shoot either cowboy or W.B.

I don't know why one would not just change the spring. One can always put the original back in after the match.

What if the only firearms I have are a DA .44, an Auto 5 12ga, and a Winchester pump .22? Can y'all create a special "class" so I can play, too?
