My reference, as I believe Creeker's applies to any match.
The others are refering to this years EOT.
I believe Creeker's comments were a new topic from the topic of "did u have fun at EOT 2025". I could be wrong, but that what I took it as.

You must know which match Creeker and Sue are referring to, which I don't. I'm pretty sure it wasn't Land Run as I attended that and thought it was really fun.
Not land run. I have not shot that match yet but hear it is excellent in all aspects.

So intentionally making a match 'difficult' through really long distances or really tough sequences is only going to irritate a segment of the middle of the pack and lower shooters who are denied the chance to get in personal best times or to walk away with a clean match. Mix it up folks. Give the shooter some speed runs, give them some 'challenge' stages, give them some that are in the middle of those two extremes. If matches are built that way there ends up being at least some stages that will appeal to pretty much every shooter there.
The sad part I think is that the stage writers and group deciding target size and placement for "the championship", thought in their mind they HAD set up a mix. BUT that mix was far, farther, and farthest and small, smaller and smallest.
I felt that match setup in 2024 was excellent. Not sure why the change in direction.

Are you sure about that? I've run 38's and 357s with my small plate and they run fine. (I've loaded thousands of 357's and thousands of 38 specials with the small plate.
Small Pistol Plate fits 38 Special Great:
Large Pistol Plate is too big, way too much gap on the sides

Thank you to everyone.
Order going in tomorrow morning.
I agree with Gateway and Nostrum; my order reflects pretty much their direction (except for needing large caseplates - I only shoot small caliber girly rounds).
I'm sure this will not be my last post re the 750 as I will likely need advice on setup and idiosyncrasies as I go along.
38 special uses the large case plate. FYI
small is for the 9mm smaller

I load about 10k rounds a year of 105's 38cal using 3.0gr of trail boss for the last 10 years I think. using Dillon 650. It's so consistent, that I no long have a powder check and have never had a squib failure due to lack of powder.
It is temp. sensitive in cold weather I have found (maybe freezing and below) , but rarely ever shoot when it's that cold anymore.
Something is not right with the setup or dispenser.

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)

As Befits a Championship Shoot
in SASS Wire
Posted
I also enjoy spending time with friends and visiting with others from around the country. That is the great part of this sport that no matter how the shoot is, it makes it fun.
But we are also here to compete in a shooting event as the primary reason for our attendance, and if that is not enjoyable, it tends to lessen the enjoyment of the whole match IMO. The match entry costs are going up and up and we are getting less and less, and generates higher expectation, all which contribute to some's unhappiness also.
I had a different match than you. More misses than I've had EOT/WR than I can remember. (After shooting F&I and RRup clean) I also did shoot the Thursday morning session in 50-80mph winds on stages 1-4 which were I think the smallest are farthest targets, which made it extremely difficult.
