Deuce Stevens SASS#55996

Awesome!! Now this is a thread that’s worthy of going 7 pages.

That’s next on the list. Im going to do the exact same format just 2 from the right 97 Vs. SxS.

About 16 years ago I had a piece of .38 go in my port and that was after I had staged it port down LOL. Sometimes the bears just gonna get you I guess.

My son and I made this video yesterday based off a Facebook conversation. It was a good excuse to be on the range with my oldest boy.

If you want ammo made for CAS by a CAS shooter loaded with 105gr. bullets and Federal primers We The People Munitions Co.

I have used them and they were too hot for my liking. The velocity is what kills it for me. Way too "lively" out of my SKB.

BTT with updated shooters list

They are cheap, but when doing a quick tune up to help a newbie get going I often make them from Wolff Ruger trigger springs that I take out of guns because I like our spring better.

If you think that people don't care about getting an award or even how they come by that award you simply haven't been involved in putting on enough matches. Even at our monthly matches we get beat into submission if we don't offer an elder statesman frontier cartridge duelist category (so one lone shooter can be announced and given a poker chip) and simply I don't care anymore. I tried to take a hard line early on at our state championship and the end result was nasty comment cards and threats to never return if not honored. Years ago at the MI state match I had a shooter (let's call him Bob) get ahold of me. He wanted us to offer Silver Senior Frontiersman. Knowing the region well I knew there was zero possible way that there was going to be any chance of anyone else shooting that category if offered. I said no. He would not let it go. He railed on me for 4 months until I finally had enough and said yes. The match came and went. Bob won silver senior frontiersman un-contested and got his picture taken and was proud of his buckle that we provided. I saw one of his local coffee buddies in the barber shop the next werk who is not a shooter at all but knew we had just had our state championship. Bob came up in that conversation and he said "well Bob's a hell of a shooter....he's a State Champion, he showed us the buckle".....I said yes he is with a smile and left it at that. Bob was full of cancer, and he passed a couple months later. Did I do the right thing? I don't know if there is a right thing. I think part of the charm and challenge of SASS as a whole is that we have been and will be at least for awhile caught in the balancing act of "too serious" or "not serious enough" when it comes to an identity as a game/sport/hobby whatever you want to call it. I think for your own personal mental well being that you have to have your own reasons for why you do any of it. If it's recognition and respect that you seek you'll be in for a long road and you'll never be satisfied. The world is too fickle and if this game is good at anything it's folks coming up with a "yeah but' for almost anything. Not sure what the right answer is. My thoughts now after 21 years of playing is that we are a customer based entertainment activity. And for the most part the customer is always right. We have rule books that you damn near need a law degree to read sometimes. So if your playing within those rules during the match I don't really care how it's split up. I'm sure it won't make sense or there's plenty of holes in my thought process, just my view based on my experience.

When we decided on the shooter limit for EOT at Paradise Pass we I did so thoughtfully. And we didn’t know what we didn’t know. We went with what we absolutely knew we could deliver the decided number of shooter with the best possible experience. Having now done it we know that it’s possible to deliver a great time to a significantly higher number of shooters. Another consideration to think about that sadly has to be considered is the local political climate of whatever location is being talked about and who owns the range (private? State? Federal?).

I know of at least two In the top ten using rifles that incorporate all the stock parts with no aftermarket kit.

Work with my hair on fire until I leave, get there and hope my muscle memory holds up. Rinse and repeat

We The People Munitions will have .38 Special 125ct. match packs for sale at EOT.

Got to spend all the time I wanted handling a new Ruger owned Marlin 1895. If it’s a fair representation of what they will be putting out I’m excited! Fit, finish and action were excellent for a mass produced rifle in todays world. Can’t wait to see what the 1894’s look like!

Check out my new gun cart by.3 Board Guys. I’ll have mine at EOT. Great carts made by active SASS members.

In talking with their regional rep and one employee I believe this to be fairly accurate information.

I can make a mess of an SKB in less than two years time. Nothing available on the market can withstand the abuse that we put on a gun not even Ruger in it's stock form.

Oh I thought from the title this was going to be about Wild Bunch shooting, my bad.

I’ve shot over a dozen of them. Always have rifle/pistol KD’s and have had pop can flyers several times.

Pack 20-40 rounds of knockdown ammo.

Beautiful rifle. The usual story with these is that Val Sr. simply ordered the rifle from Uberti (a monthly occurrence).

If you have a quality holster they will often be a problem.

No I honestly don’t.
