STAGE DISQUALIFICATION PENALTY (SDQ) page 23 - Any dropped unloaded firearm on the firing line. - Long guns that slip, fall, and break the 170°. 170 is irreverent if the gun was dropped.

Here you said it slipped off. More information that it was empty and didn't break the 170. These two lead me to my statement of a gun that slipped off without breaking the 170. That would earn you a MSV 10 second penalty. The call was a dropped gun? The penalty for that would be a SDQ not 10 seconds. STAGE DISQUALIFICATION PENALTY (SDQ) page 23 - Any dropped unloaded firearm on the firing line. - Long guns that slip, fall, and break the 170°.

Not dropped if slipped off prop. MSV if left open/empty and where muzzle didn't break 170.

I have a roller handle on my 650, like the way it feels. Never tried one on my 550. May not be as much of an advantage, I use my right hand to place the case at station 1 on the 550, my 650 has a case feeder, so I keep my hand on the roller handle as I load. If you try the roller and want to change over to a ball handle, I would trade one with you for the roller handle.

Thank you. This was a lot of work. Addresses from SASS club page does not always show the actual club location, sometimes it is a P.O. Box or other mailing location. Looks great. JSS

In what form? Direct email, forum post, in the Chronicle?

I purchased a raffle ticket when renewing my daughters SASS membership, but never received anything. Thought they would process ticket purchases as time permits with the office being shut down for months. The logical thing to do would be to extend this raffle till 2021 EOT.

I don't like rain on match day.

Should be set the same for all shooters. Rabble-rousers get a free spin.

I have Ariat “Roper”-style boots, they look nice and to make them feel better I changed the insole to a softer one that had more support where I needed. Still tough on my feet after wearing all day. For the most comfort, I wear my go to work boots, Wolverine Durashocks. With better insoles these work for me when I wear them all day. I normally have two pairs and buy them when on sale.

The time has come, setup is tomorrow and the show starts Saturday at 9:00 AM. We have 37 members that signed up to help staff the show booth, however there are still three evening shifts without any help for Misty. Wed. 8th, Thurs. 9th & Sat. 11th, if you are planning on attending the show on any of these dates and could lend a hand, even for an hour or two, it would be most helpful. Dress the part in “Cowboy” clothes, stop by and help Misty for a while. SASS booth has been changed and we are now located at Booth #350, midway down the hall from the NRA booth.

Over the past few years we have been hoping that SASS would be an exhibitor at the Great American Outdoor Show in Harrisburg. We almost had a booth in 2014, but timing was not on our side. Dates for the Shot Show and NRA convention didn’t provide enough time to ship the booth for use at all three shows. This year SASS has made that commitment, there will be a Cowboy Action Shooting booth at the show. Their space will be located in the Shooting Sports Hall, booth #880. The Great American Outdoor Show scheduled to be held February 4-12, 2017 in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Misty Moonshine is flying in to run the booth, she needs help staffing the booth and help inform attendees of what SASS cowboy action shooting is and how the game is played. It is a long show, 9 days long. We have set time slots, two per day. If you are planning to attend the show perhaps you could help staff the booth part of the day. Currently there are seven slots where Misty is without any help. With this show bring in about 200,000 attendees, it would provide needed exposure to the sport we all enjoy. I am hopeful that this will help generate some interest in the show and inspire others to volunteer to staff the booth. It is a great opportunity to recruit new shooters. In order to get information out to helpers Misty has posted January 5th as the deadline for signup. You could contact Misty directly at: misty@sassnet.com or call the office at 505-843-1320.

Dice, Your sign up is fine as is, you listed how many helpers and who will be there. Misty can see the signup live anytime before the show or at the show to view the helpers listed. Thank you, JSS Red-Eyed Kid, I signed both you and Lenny Dice up for the 2-7 shift. The only email I have is one for Lenny Dice, he should receive a notification on this signup. Please let me know if anything changes and I can modify the schedule. Regards, JSS
