Dear SASS Members of California, Nevada & Hawaii, For more than 40 years, the Single Action Shooting Society has been built on friendships—friendships forged on dusty ranges, at loading tables, around campfires, and through a shared love of Cowboy Action Shooting. Many of those friendships, and indeed the very foundation of our sport, began in California. That history matters to us, deeply. We know that recent changes to the U.S. Regional alignment—specifically the elimination of the former Western Region and the designation of California, Nevada and Hawaii as shared states between the Northwest Region and the Four Corners Western Region—have caused some of you to feel abandoned or overlooked. We want to say clearly and sincerely: that was never our intent, and it is not how we see you. Change is difficult, especially when it touches something as personal as a community you have helped build for decades. We understand the disappointment and concern this decision has created, and we respect the passion behind those feelings. SASS exists because of members like you, and your voices matter. This realignment was not made lightly. In fact, the last comprehensive review of Regional structure occurred in 2018. Over the past year, SASS undertook a long-overdue analysis of membership statistics, participation levels, engagement trends, and demographics across the entire United States. That data showed that the former Western Region—California, Nevada, and Hawaii—could no longer stand alone in a way that supported a healthy, sustainable regional program. Similar adjustments were made across the country to better reflect today’s membership realities, not yesterday’s map. By making California, Nevada and Hawaii shared states, we were able to expand opportunities rather than reduce them. Members now have greater flexibility and more options when choosing a Regional Championship based on geography, travel considerations, and personal preference. What has changed is choice—not our commitment to you. Our support for California, Nevada and Hawaii remains unwavering and consistent with the support we provide everywhere SASS exists around the world. Our roots are in California. That will never change. The legacy of the shooters, clubs, and volunteers from these states is woven into the very fabric of Cowboy Action Shooting- and always will be. We ask only this: before jumping to conclusions about SASS’ motives, please remember that not all of the data and considerations behind this difficult decision are visible from the outside. This was a business decision made in service of the long-term health of the sport we all love- not a judgment on the value of any state, club, or member. Forty years of friendship deserves the benefit of the doubt.  We are grateful for your loyalty, your passion, and your continued willingness to work with us as SASS moves forward. Together, we have weathered change before, and together we will continue to ensure a strong, vibrant future for Cowboy Action Shooting—for California, Nevada, Hawaii and the entire SASS family. With sincere respect and gratitude, Misty Moonshine Misty Moonshine, SASS Patron #83232 Chief Executive Officer

Going forward. We’re working on the Plains Region for 2027! Stay tuned. Thanks for your support!

Understood, and thanks! The only change is to the Midwest for 2026. It’ll be up to Paradise Pass as the host club to organize/determine/publish dates and event details. the other Regionals are existing and the same is true for them, just like always. I expect you can look forward to seeing the dates all made final in the coming days after the first of the year. Misty

Just for 2026. We’re working to get one more centrally located in the Plains Region by 2027.

Wow, ok. “lol” Everything IS all worked out….we spent months analyzing data- membership and attendance trends and numbers, demographic changes, etc. Regional boundaries hadn’t been evaluated since 2013- and a lot has changed since then. The shared states concept is not new to the SASS Regional program. We had shared states before. Competitors can shoot either match, but must select and declare their Regional championship each year if they reside in a shared state. Misty

It was an email to all active SASS members. If you have unsubscribed to our emails in the past, send a direct email to me and I'll reply with the voting form. Misty

We ask for the SASS # to verify active SASS membership, not gender. The vote is restricted to active SASS members only. Misty

Hi everyone, SASS has received a packet full of notices of "Unlicensed Use" of Imagery owned by several different companies- the Associated Press, The Canadian Press, Epa Images, Hearst Holdings, and Reuters. It seems that by our forum members here copying and posting comments containing images and memes containing images- as well as cartoons - without express permission from these companies has now resulted in some pretty steep fines for SASS. Because the infringement detail was so vast, after spending far too much time in an attempt to hunt them all down, I have been forced to remove certain threads entirely- the "Sticky cartoon thread" and the "funny photos add some" threads entirely. Additionally, I've hidden about a dozen other comments and posts with imagery that were listed in the notices we received. How do we move forward? I'm not sure yet... I don't want to remove the ability to share pictures within the forums, but we cannot (and will not) be subject to fines like this again. It may be time to start restricting access to the SASS Wire Forums to active SASS MEMBERS ONLY in an effort to maintain our sanctuary here... I will be consulting with our legal team as well as our Advisory Board on the best action moving forward. In the meantime, I'm asking everyone to PLEASE not copy and paste photos or memes from any internet news or image source. Thanks in advance, Misty Moonshine
