  1. One of these years I should outta start reading that thing.
  2. Annnnnnnnd there's ANOTHER question. I think it was EOT two years ago the starting position was shotgun in handS. It was made abundantly clear that meant if either hand let go of the gun, the other had to still be holding it. You could not have one hand on the gun and the other on shells.
  3. If it were me I wouldn't mess with a firearm's locking mechanism in the way you described. In this case I'd bend the top lever the max allowable under SASS rules to hopefully put it into a better position for him to operate.
  4. Not at all. As Tn Tombstone correctly pointed out, SASS default is used when no starting position instructions are given.
  5. "At the ready" What is that? The common description I've heard is hands hovering over whichever gun(s) you're going to start with but not touching. Okay, that seems pretty simple. But, what if you're starting with the shotgun? Can one hand be hovering over the shotgun and the other over your shells? Or even worse, is the common description I've heard completely wrong. If so, back to the original question. What is "at the ready"?
  6. There's some VERY wise advice I learned years ago, never fry bacon naked. I think that could probably be applied to cowboy shooting as we'll.
  7. Negative. It’s a silver cuff similar to what John Wayne wore.
  8. I don't like when you and I agree. It's not as fun.
  9. Taken to its logical conclusion, why include staging of guns in the instructions at all? The stage conventions say that long guns will be staged flat and pistols will be holstered. So unless I want to deviate from that, I shouldn't need to waste any ink saying it. As to vertical, the stage conventions don't preclude that from being safe. Rather, that's the default safe. The old horse props we used to use would be a good example of safe but not flat when an open SxS was on them.
  10. I never saw the Posse Marshall sheets. I'm just going by the Shooter's Handbook. Based on that, I don't believe the Posse Marshalls needed to specify flat. The fact that they did just shows all involved are going the extra mile to make EOT a great match.
  11. Ohhhhhhhhhh..............Creeker and Bull..............going at it on the playground. Dis gonna be gooooood. You can't cherry pick. You only capitalized ANYWHERE. Also have to include SAFELY. Stage conventions say long guns staged safe is flat. As TW said, if vertical, fence post, etc were to be included the instructions would have needed to say that. And that would be easy enough without requiring a tome. "Shotgun open and empty staged anywhere safely to include vertical, over the 2X4, etc."
  12. Yeah? So? What's your point? Would you expect anything else?
  13. We're losing sight of the original issue. Instructions said "Open, empty shotgun staged anywhere safely." Stage conventions say safe staging of long guns is flat. They did not override the stage conventions. In my ever so humble opinion this should never have been an issue. Stage conventions say flat. Even without posse marshal instructions this SHOULD have been understood.
  14. You're adding words to the handbook that aren't there. STAGE CONVENTIONS The following stage conventions (stage defaults) should be followed in all SASS matches, unless otherwise directed in the stage descriptions.
