Congratulations to Tyler Tornado and Dueling Des for winning the 2020 SASS Maine State Championships held Sept 11-13, 2020 in Berwick, ME by The Maine Marshals. Tyler Tornado and Dueling Des not only did the registration, the writing of the scenarios, the production of the booklet, served as Match Director and able assistant and ran a posse, they also won high overall Man and Ladies and had a wedding. Not bad for a couple of mid-20 year old shooters. Thanks to all that helped put on this shoot with 58 shooters on a beautiful weekend in Southern Maine.

Do it when you renew your SASS membership and no charge. (At least when I did it several times 2002-2004.)

Wild Bill, she shot an original 1897 that worked one hell of a lot better than that awful double barrel she tried to shoot for years.

Congratulations to the 2020 SASS NH State Champions 'Binky The Kid' and 'Splinter Bill'. 'Binky the Kid' started as a young girl with her father, 'Owl Hoot', and is now working as an architect while shooting .44-40's in rifle and pistol.

Unfortunately not as we bought a new house in August and we are still pouring money into it finishing the lower level, Rinnai heater, standby generator, etc. We also are planning on going to England in August to visit friends of Miss Kendree's from when she went to school there for a year. Also to watch a US team compete at Bisley as it will be 40 years since I won the British Smallbore Prone and 3-Position Rifle Championships in 1977. Plus Colorado Springs for a US Shooting Team Alumni Association Reunion.
