Phantom, SASS #54973

I don't think you're making anyone mad...on the "spotter" thing I was just clarifying. We have a PF of 60. It's low relative to other shooting sports but SASS/CAS caters to a group that is generally much older and recoil is a concern for many of them. Shoot what you enjoy as long as it's within the rules. But please understand that He-Man heavy loads while being legal, do have an effect on others. We shoot steel and at a close distance...but if you think accuracy isn't important...yer just kidding yourself. Phantom PS: You are probably the first person that I've ever heard say that they don't enjoy shooting 22's...most of the actual friends I have enjoy shooting 22's above all else.

They're called "Spotters". Missed calls...having three different "miss" callouts, will happen on heavy loads as well since often times the Spotters will be squinting in anticipation of the loud report...wondering how much more of it they can take before they need to go back to the audiologist to be fitted for new hearing aids. Also, as I'm sure you're aware of, there is a minimum PF that should be enforced. If you think the rounds are not meeting the PF, call it. I'll also add that since we are shooting steel and not bad guys of the "old west", that heavy man killer loads only kills the hearing of the other competitors...bad guys don't really exist down range... Cheers! Phantom

If it was shipped via U.S. Postal Service Ground Advantage then standard delivery can take up to 5 business days. No doubt that there are some delays going on right now...and the Common Carriers have their fair share of lost/delayed deliveries. Phantom

How was it shipped? Phantom

I can't say most, but certainly many dealers sell used guns as is ... And probably most consider all firearm sales as final. If there's an issue with a new gun they'll tell you to contact the manufacturer. Phantom

Go with whatcha like...but the increased sight radius isn't needed for this game. Phantom

Introducing into a match a firearm that folks are not familiar with is rather foolish. Do that stuff outside of an actual match. Phantom

Aaahhhh...Bach! Phantom

I say shooting a derringer one handed...in a timed event...is a no-no in my book. Phantom

Guess yer right...just never seen "Classes" used to define our...categories. Don't think the word "Classes" is used in any of the Hanbooks. This is a new shooter that is entering this game/sport. I wanted to make sure that they don't start off using the wrong verbiage. Current Dealer cost on Pistol Primers (non-match), is about $65/1000. Currently you can get Pistol Primers for under $100. Phantom

We call them "Categories", not "Classes". LP Primers are not terribly hard to get. Phantom

They should...but they are mechanical thingies built by humans. I personally know that Ferraris have had to go back for...adjustments...had a $10k custom rifle go back because the trigger had issues right out of the "box". These things you just can't get all riled up about...it's part of living. And blaming a manufacturer should only be done if they don't fix the problem with a smile on their face and a sincere apology. Phantom

$250 is ludicrous...and I'm a big supporter of LGS folks. Phantom

If you are shipping back to manufacturer, tell them to send you a Call Tag. The shipping to and from you should be on their nickel since it's a manufacturing flaw. Phantom

Long Hunter is a Overall World Champ...all around Cowboy Gun Guy. I knows his sh...stuff. Phantom

My recommendation...truly KNOW the person that you're getting info. from. I know that this is the SASS forum, but you'd be surprised at how much bad info. can be found here. Phantom

I'd like to see pictures of your carrier. Phantom

Wait a second!!!! You mean to tell me that the parts are the same and that the evil Remington parts are not the problem??? But everything Remington did was horrible and wrong...and ALL about the $$$$$$$. The parts can't be good! The have to be..."JM"... 🤪 Phantom

I miss the people that have died I miss shooting with many folks Phantom

The title of this thread is "Where have they gone"... Now it's "Where has the Topic gone".

He passed away... I'll leave my comments to that...
