Power Factors The minimum standard for center-fire ammunition used in all smokeless categories in all SASS matches, including State, Regional, National, International, and World Championship competitions is not less than a minimum power factor of 60 and no velocity may be less than 400 fps. SHB p.26 (emphasis added) This does NOT apply to BP percussion revolvers. Power Factor / Blackpowder Smoke – Testing ... Failure of the shooter’s rounds to produce the same level of smoke as the standard rounds will result in a penalty for not adhering to the category requirements. SHB p.26 There is no "smoke factor" requirement for BP revolvers used in a non-BP category.

SHB p.29

This issue came up recently and deserves a reminder. Apparently some clubs are only requiring Buckaroo/ette shooters to simply fire the shotgun downrange. 🙄 The SHB specically addresses how KD targets are to be handled: "Knockdown targets are not required to fall for Buckaroo category shooters. A hit will be scored as long as the target is clearly hit." SHB p.5 & ...there is also an EXCEPTION under "Stage Conventions': "All knockdown targets (shotgun, rifle, or revolver) must go down to count. o Any knockdown target still standing once the shooter has engaged the next sequence of the stage will be counted as a miss. o EXCEPTION: For Buckaroo/Buckarette shooters knockdown targets do not have to go down to count." SHB p.14

I was playing that album in my basement bedroom when my Dad (in the next room) heard that skit...almost got evicted on the spot! He was VP, Dean of Students, Athletic Director, Varsity Coach, and a teacher at the local Catholic high school at the time. 😎

The writer didn't necessarily make the "error"...the lawyer in the story may have...but commenting "related to" covers a number of possible charges; all of which would be based on the elimination of Grandpa as the "burier" and speculation regarding other relatives. The submission of a confession, witness testimony, or forensic evidence would determine whether any criminal charges could be filed at all.

Close enough...depends on how the revolvers are drawn/reholstered based on holster location/angle/height, arm length, and how much hip-twisting or foot movement is necessary to avoid breaking the 180. Gunfighter-style shooters may not perform a SIMULTANEOUS "double X-draw". REF also demo videos HERE

YES...with the caveat that: "Gunfighter style competitors are prohibited from utilizing a simultaneous “double cross draw” method of drawing or holstering revolvers." SHB p.7

"The only allowed exceptions are the .25-20 and .56-50. No rifle calibers such as .30-30 or .38-55 are allowed." SHB p.40 - Rifle Calibers

...or tripped & fell into a panini press??

^^^^^^^^^^^^ THIS (as noted)

If that's a percussion muzzle-loader it is NOT LEGAL for SASS competition.

^^^^^^^^^^^^ This.

"SCREWS - Factory screws may be replaced with socket head cap or other type screws." SHB p.37

Same here...verified the name of the condition(s) treated via a quick YT search of the drug (Ingrezza).

Could also be Tardive Dyskinesia (TD).

THE PLAINSMAN This event requires two .36 caliber or larger Frontiersman Category style percussion revolvers, shot Duelist style. - Must use a SASS legal single shot rifle firing a traditional blackpowder rifle or revolver caliber cartridge (e.g., not a .30-.30). The rifle may have spring actuated ejectors if they are standard for that rifle. .38 Special is legal. SHB p.30

YES.

Long ago, I acquired a Hawes Great Western SA in .357 Atomic. It was non-functional due to a replacement bolt made of solid brass. A local (Salem, OR) 'smith replaced it with one from a Colt SAA. When I went to pick it up, it was "red-tagged" as unsafe...the shop owner placed the cocked revolver on a wooden counter top and banged his fist next to it, causing the hammer to fall. That issue was fixed using Colt parts as well. Fully functional when I (finally) took it to the home range.
