In "Down Periscope" he plays an Admiral who is trying to rig a sea trial by using a screw-up captain (Kelsey Grammer) and a broken down sub. He might not be a "bad" guy, but he sure isn't "good".

Not to mention the ever popular..

is this what you have in mind:
That's what I have in mind; however, I don't look NEAR that good.
Inaugural Steampunk Shooters at the 2016 Alabama State Match. The FIRST state match to offer Steampunk. The ladies do look nice.

If I recall correctly, in "Silent Running" he killed the rest of the crew to keep them from jettisoning the forests and slowly went mad with Huey, Louie, and Dewy (the robots).

Seriously, make me offers. I take trades. Especially gun stuff.
I could use a Square Deal B setup for .45 ACP.
Worst I can say is "no thank you".

Onlyst range I've ever been to where there are "wall mounted dispensers."

I'm guessing that we're not talking about dispensing of "Hand sanitizer"?

I wouldn't miss it, Steampunk or not. I'll send in my application just after Christmas.

And now they are making the giant hersey kisses with a full hazelnut in them. I haven't had them yet. I've lost 43 lbs this year and I sure don't want to gain it back in December.

Copperhead, we are planning on it. If Bea can't make it due to her work, I'm coming come hell or high water!
-
Thanks for ruining Christmas!
NOW, you're sounding like my kid!

No, just don't believe a) that it is right, and

I'm with you here pard, not a steampunk fan but am a fan of participating to the rules.
There are rules made up in every sport and if they're not your cup of tea don't participate, OR conform.
You only have to look at most stages at matches today, they're all pistol, pistol? Gone are the days of any split pistol and more transitional stages, cause the gunfighters moaned and groaned so much. It has seemed to have been forgotten that 'gunfighter' is a shooting STYLE not a shooting category.?
JackarooWe actually had a split pistol stage today in the "Grinch" match I wrote. When I read that the shooting order was "Pistol, Rifle, Shotgun, Pistol", everyone looked at me like I had 3 eyes.
-
That is reason enough. I did not mean any offense.
None taken. My daddy always said "Don't dish it out unless you can take it", and you have to remember the Motto of "The Krappy Gang: "We're not laughing WITH you".
You expected not to receive any questions or criticism here on the Wire??
Yup.

This is not a debate or "Category creation by committee". It was created by a group of people who were interested in Steampunk, and people who said "I don't like steampunk and wouldn't shoot it", or "I don't think it has anyplace in SASS" were SPECIFICALLY NOT consulted.
No gunfighter? Because I said so.
I firmly believe that gunfighers should only shoot against other gunfighters. That's why they have their own categories.
If you don't agree, start your own unofficial category.

ps- I thought that comment about folding was a pure joke.
Folding would have been toooo awesome . . . . .
I tried to figure out how to make it fold, but there was just too many braces from the cart's structure in the way.
-
I would wonder if some goggles might cut down on peripheral vision and be a safety hazard?
Then I wouldn't recommend wearing those. Put'em up on your hat!

Steampunk Cowboy / Cowgirl is NOT a recognized SASS Category, however, some clubs and at least three state championships in 2017 will recognize it.
Here are the dress guidelines that I have been working from when several of us "kicked around" formalization as recorded by Saint Muffy of the Watercress sandwich with the crusts cut off.
Steampunk COWBOY/COWGIRL
“Steampunk” is defined as “Victorian Science Fiction”. The Steampunk genre is influenced by period writers such as Jules Verne, Edgar Rice Burroughs, and H.G. Wells, and modern authors such as H.P. Lovecraft. Shooters are encouraged to combine elements of early Steam driven / mechanical / industrial design into their costuming and to their gear. “Westernpunk” extends the metaphor to the old west period as exemplified by literature and media such as “The Wild, Wild West”.
Any Main Match revolver. Revolvers may be shot in any SASS–legal shooting style, except Gunfighter.
Must use any SASS–legal main match rifle.
Must use any SASS–legal main match shotgun.
Must use any SASS–legal ammunition.
Steampunk users are encouraged to add Steampunk “flair” to their main match guns as long as the enhancements do not alter function of safety of the firearms. These would include adding gears, Cerakote Firearm coatings (http://www.cerakoteguncoatings.com), leather enhancements with fantasy elements such as carving, buckles, gauges, switches. Firearms enhancements do not count as satisfying costuming requirements.
Costuming: Must choose at least five of the requirements listed below. All clothing items must be worn appropriately during all shooting events and awards ceremonies.
- Goggles (welding or aviation) worn as Eye protection or as an accessory.
- Any Victorian head gear constructed of Felt, Straw, cloth or leather. Including but not limited to: Pith helmets, Military caps, Deer Stalkers, and leather flight helmets.
- Pocket watch with Chain, Pendant or Pin watches.
- Gauntlets / Cuffs
- Backpacks, shoulder pouches, Bandoleers (Shotgun and / or Cartridge)
- Vest, or waistcoat embellished in steampunk motif.
- Scarf or tie.
- Knife or tools (screw knives do NOT qualify), tools would include wrenches, screwdrivers, hammers. Knife or tools all count as one element. As an example, a shooter could not wear gauntlets with 5 screwdrivers and be considered as satisfying the requirements.
- Spats, gaiters or Botas.
- Period gas masks or plague doctor masks.
In addition to the above items, ladies may choose from the items listed below in order to compete within this category: Period watch, split riding skirt, bustle, hoops, corset, Victorian style hat (straw allowed), period jewelry, period hair ornaments (e.g., feathers), snood, reticule (period handbag), period lace up shoes, camisole, bloomers, fishnet stockings, feather boa, cape. Men may wear kilts or other period regional garb.
Footwear: Victorian shoes and Boots are required and must be of traditional design. “Engineer Boots” with deep lugs are permitted.

How about a picture of the cart folded for travel. Looks great for the shooter who carries a lot of gear. GW
GW, it does not fold. At all.

For sale or trade.
Last summer, I was dropping garbage off at the dump when I spotted a PRACTICALLY NEW jogging cart for twins.
I was like...
So I brought it home and snuck it into the basement. I had it for weeks before Bea even knew it. I recently finished converting it into a "gun cart". It holds 6 long guns and 4 Single Action Revolvers. Rolls real smooth! I made the front box extra large to hold a small cooler with all your bullets and stuff. It is for sale (since I already had 3 carts).
Price is $300, and can be delivered to the local North GA, Southern TN, or SC matches, or make trade or other Reasonable offer. I'm partial to Rugers, A Widdermatic Henry .22, could use a tuned Satin Nickle Stoeger, pretty open as long as it isn't a "hi-point", or Taurus, or Rossi. Trade value is $500.

I'd like a stuffed armadillo wine bottle holder.

To clarify, cause I can't type, I always thought the TOP shell would be staggered forward. I fixed my post.
I watch some tube of you videos of Lassister, and it looks like he has his top shell staggered forward.
Cemetery,
You WOULD think so, but it isn't the case. Not sure why, but even the Chiappa manual shows the top shell set back from the bottom.

Thanks Lumpy, I fixed it.

Stagger your shells when you drop them in. Bottom shell forward of the bottom shell.

UPDATE: It does fit in my Kia Sedona (Minivan) without moving the back seats (Bea's requirement). I just had to get creative.
