So what does this mean .Is the whole match now tainted? Not the same playing field.
Don’t get me wrong, I think this years EOT from a target size, distance, spacing and scenarios was one of the BEST! Just felt the set up and space to stage 2 firearms was tight on one stage and if think about it, tough for a left handed from the other side also.
Overall outstanding event!! Great job by all the rangers!-

How were the long guns directed to be staged in the stage instructions? Unless I am mistaken, that would serve as the ‘final answer’.
Stage direction said “stage guns anywhere safely”, but Posse Marshal said all guns flat on table.

Had the pleasure to posse with Jace, Great shooter and great kid!! Congrats!

Not enough room on the table for a right handed shooter shooting a double. The way the double bends made it in my opinion a disadvantage for double shooter and possible issue
on 11 it could have been a start with rifle in hands and restage vertically and would have been better
or move the board back farther forward on the table and make it taller if want it safer.

How did you get the collet to grip a lead bullet? I have tried several times and it just squishes the lead and slips off. Works great with jacketed though.
It had no problem with a truncated cone 105 gn 38. Pulled it up, turned the bar to tighten, and then a quick jerk down. I found the quick jerk down was key. If u just slowly lowered it, it may not grab. I day worked about 97% of the time on that bullet shape

I just got done pulling about 1000 rounds ( about 7-8 years of bad rounds, (I use a Dillon primer tube filler so sometimes upside down). Just kept throwing them in a bin for years because the impact puller is such a pain. I bought the rcbs buller puller die. Fits into a loader ( I have an old single stage Lee) I was pulling 105 grn 38’s and it worked great!!!
recovered brass and all powder and most of the old bullets ( put into practice ammo). Would highly recommend. 5x to 10x faster than the impact hammer method.
then order correct caliber collet

Simple?
Okay, who do you propose pay for the monitoring of that 6-9 month period's expiration or for the programming changes.
I do not want to pay for it; nor, am I willing to volunteer to support it.

I believe there is a basic function in the setup of IP board that will send an email notification to someone when a new user registers. Just drop that name in a simple excel file when receive notification. Once a month review names who are about to expire with the SASS office to see if the many have joined. And if not, delete. Yes, simple, no programming costs and take about 30 min maybe a month.
Yes programming and running this board is and can be expensive, that's why this benefit of membership should be for current members in good standing or guests for a limited time

Hello Folks,
I would not favor limiting posting to members only. In the last year, we have had several potential members post questions and later join SASS. I know this as they asked me to change their name to their newly acquired SASS Alias. That alone is sufficient, in my mind, to not limit posting.
Regards,
Allie
Simple solution. Guests get 6-9 months before their web access expires and need to become paying members
Dues and membership pay the funds for SASS to support this website. If your not an active paid member or in that 6-9 month guest bucket, just read only access IMHO
In my opinion the decline in paid membership is because of the generousity of SASS to still offer these services (like this website and being able to shoot matches without fees, unlike other pistol sports) to all for free trusting that the membership will continue to support them, while you have many shooters who proudly wear their sass badge and use their ailias, post on this website and haven't paid dues for years. That's disgraceful in my opinion.

And in answer to the question, what does an annual have to do in reguard to the fees?? If you don't put one on, they aren't interested in you or your club. I know this from personal contact with the HQ. And yes, I have assisted in putting on a major shoot. Yes, it is a lot of work
What do you want SASS to do for you???????? What interest do you want SASS to take in your club???? Been a match director for he past 10+ years and never was wondering what INTEREST Sass had in my club or what they can DO for me, BUT more what WE as a club and me as a member can do to hep grow and promote SASS or help support our community

Thanks for taking us Illinoinans in!!!

Our club sent SASS $100, the fee depends on the percentage of club members that are active SASS members. There is really no way to audit the number of active members. I know $50-100 bucks isn't much. To many clubs it's the principal and they just bailed. I'm pretty sure there is a big annual event that is not affiliated and it is well attended by non-SASS members and current members alike.
$100 bucks was 2015, 2106 was only $50
In an effort to simplify the process and eliminate any misunderstanding, there is a change in the pricing structure this year- as a result of your requests and feedback, the affiliation fee is a flat $50; regardless of your SASS membership status within your club members
Again no excuses not to support the organization that created what we love to do!

It's only $50 bucks for the year and very sad that anyone posting on the wire can justify why their club can't come up with $50 bucks for the YEAR to support the organization who created the sport we participate in. Who gave us years of enjoyment and friendships can't justify why to send $50 bucks for the year!! For that 15 person club. That's like $3.50 per person???? The same people who spend thousands on guns, leather & ammo. It's all what have you don't for us lately, how about what they have done for us all for over the last 25 years!
Last year I changed my monthly match fees and gave a discount of $5 off match fees for sass members and hinted to those to join sass because I'll pay the first $40 bucks( $5 times 8 matches). Had some people who refused to shoot because the felt I was charging them more because they weren't sass member. Refused to join sass again because said they "weren't getting anything", yet still wore the sass badge got along time ago, used the sass alias and attended many sass state shoots over the years and had a large group of friends they never had before sass. Weren't getter my anything??? BS. Sass gave them a lifetime of stuff. What I came to understand, some people just like to complain about everything and are never happy. I say. Good riddance! (Now off my soapbox)
