There is a Massachusetts winner, a Connecticut winner a Rhode Island winner and  "Tri-State" champion.   

Now that you ask, I don't know if you have to be from one of the three states to be the champ.

The top woman and man from each state is awarded the state championship, so 6 state winners were named. 

Top woman and man are also awarded regardless of the state. 

Top overall is also awarded.  

Here are the State and overall winners from this year. 

SASS MA State Champions:
Rapid Fire Ryan and Pistol Packin Pammie

SASS CT State Champions:
James Samuel Pike and Hey Moe

SASS RI State Champions:
Nutmeg Ryder and Sassy T

Top Guns Overall:
Tyler Tornado and Dueling Des

If you need the FID (Firearms Identification, good only for long guns) or the LTC (License to Carry, good for pistols as well as long guns) to buy bore butter, that would indicate that the commonwealth considers it to be ammunition related in some way.   In addition to needing the have the "gun permit" to buy live ammunition, you also need it to purchase things like primers, bullets, powder, percussion caps and shot.  Oddly, I've never been asked to show it for buying brass, but out of state vendors have asked for copy of it for that as well.   You even need it to buy a BB gun, BB's or pellets.   Not sure about paintball guns and ammo.

What is bore butter, btw?  I'd assume it was some sort of black powder lube or bore cleaner, but I honestly don't know.

 

I tried to purchase some tumbling media at a large commercial outdoor store (in Hudson, if you know you know) and I could not purchase it without a FID or LTC from Mass.    Crushed corn!        And if you think the MA 135 gunlaw is bad, look at what RI is trying to pass.  

[Stupid question?]

In our sport a majority of the rifles have been worked on, so this question may best be asked to your gunsmith or the manufacturer of the parts installed in your rifle.   As us cowboys for the most part shoot reduced loads I am not sure if there is some downgrading of the toggle strength when worked on.
