Comfortable boots legal for Classic Cowboy
Chief Rick replied to Bullseye Bracc's topic in SASS Wire
Double-H Packers are very comfortable (for me) and Classic Cowboy legal. -
Also, Grade D breathing air is NOT medical or aviation grade oxygen. Grade D breathing air is just regular air (19.5%-23.5% O2 by volume) under pressure, with the above specifications.
-
Class D air compressor gauges must be calibrated (I think annually). Not part of the breathing air testing, but yes it is a requirement.
-
The scuba compressors are not inspected/tested because of the pressure, it's because it's used for breathing air. There are specifications for Class D breathing air. Grade D breathing air specifications: Oxygen content: 19.5%–23.5% by volume Hydrocarbon content: 5 mg/m³ or less (condensed) Carbon monoxide (CO): 10 ppm or less Carbon dioxide (CO2): 1,000 ppm or less Odor: Must be free of any noticeable odor

Chevy Silverado 2500 vs GMC Denali 2500 Tow Rig
Chief Rick replied to Johnny Buck's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Doesn't sound like you have or are looking for a big/heavy trailer. Why get a diesel? I currently drive a 4x4 2022 Chevy 2500 with the 6.6 gas engine, 6-speed tranny. Don't need the towing capacity. Need the cargo capacity. I am averaging 16mpg on the highway when not towing and keeping the speed to 65mph max. I am averaging 10/11 mpg when towing on the same roads at the same speeds. my GeoPro 19FBS has a very heavy tongue weight when loaded. It's a single axle trailer with a 30 gal potable water tank forward of the axle, plus two lead acid batteries and two 15 lb propane tanks. -
I'm going to say no. A cheek rest/riser is not specifically mentioned in the SHB. But, SHB pg 40 states: ANY EXTERNAL MODIFICATION TO ANY FIREARM NOT SPECIFICALLY REFERENCED IN THIS HANDBOOK IS EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED.

I have an egg. Like the pellet grills I can bake, BBQ, grill, or smoke. I found it easy to learn how to control the temperature. I went with the egg because I didn't want to need electricity to cook. Hurricanes and such. Only downside, to me, is you can't easily or quickly change from a higher temperature to a lower temperature.

We did the same. Our pistol targets were roughly where our Cowboy rifle targets are and our rifle targets were another 5-10 paces beyond that.
-
The majority of our targets are mild steel. We require lead only at (roughly) cowboy velocities to keep from damaging our targets. My 124gr lead 9mm ammo runs ~950 fps from a Glock 19 and ~1075 fps from a 16" AR9.

Are scores posted anywhere?
-
Same here.
-
Why the tiered pricing increase?
-
We had 11 shooters yesterday and the weather was wonderful. We use the timer and keep score but it's more for individual records. I like shooting our 5th Saturday matches because I bring out my bedside/CCW pistol. I feel it's good training for target acquisition and mag changes. Getting to shoot a PCC and my home defense shotgun is just a bonus.

Elvira, mistress of the dark
Chief Rick replied to Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Looks about like she did in her Playboy layout, October 2001, according to Google. -
We do similar on months with 5th Saturday's. We call it our Moonshiner Match. Five stages. Set up so people can shoot either cowboy action or Moonshiner.

Shooting the revolver, after the first shot went down range, shooter had a squib but was able to fully cock the revolver. Shooter was instructed by the TO to put the revolver down on the table, don't decock, and finish the stage. After the shooter finished the stage, the TO retrieved the cocked revolver and took it to the unloading table. There was an obstruction in the barrel. Shooter was assessed four misses. Shooter feels he should have been assessed a SDQ. What's the call? SHB Pg 23 STAGE DISQUALIFICATION PENALTY (SDQ) - A cocked revolver leaving the shooter’s hand. SHB Pg 14 STAGE CONVENTIONS - In the case of a suspected squib, the TO will instruct the shooter to make the firearm safe and continue with the next firearm. SHB Pg 15 FIREARM CONVENTIONS Safety & Handling Conventions – Revolvers - A cocked revolver may never leave a shooter’s hand, including from one hand to the other. This does not apply when loading, unloading, or reloading on the firing line. Safe Conditions During a Course of Fire – Revolvers Revolvers are considered SAFE for movement (in hand, while holstering, or while moving through a stage) and SAFE to leave the shooter’s hand in the following conditions ONLY: - Hammer fully down on an empty chamber. - Hammer fully down on an expended round. SHB Pg 17 Safety & Handling Conventions – All Firearms - If a competitor has a firearm malfunction that cannot be cleared during the course of fire, the shooter may not leave the firing line until the firearm has been cleared. A Match Disqualification penalty will be assessed to the shooter if they leave the firing line with the malfunctioning firearm unless under the direct supervision of a Match official. This did happen. I was not present but was approached by the shooter afterwards.

How to get badly baked on carbon out of chamber of 1892
Chief Rick replied to GR00VYJERRY's topic in SASS Wire
I'd try the the SliXprings Scraper. I have one for my 357 chambered guns that I shoot 38 Special in. It works. https://www.badmanbullets.com/OnlineStore/proddetail.php?prod=SliXprings-Scraper -

Richard (Hawg Runner) Craparotta of Collins MS passed away on May 7, 2025, in Weeki Wachee, Florida at the home of his daughter with family. Born on January 16, 1951, in Brooklyn, New York, Richard lived a life marked by passion, dedication, and a deep connection to the things he loved. Richard was the beloved child of Catherine and Angelo Craparotta, both of whom preceded him in death. He will be remembered with love by his daughter Christine Gregory and son-in-law Gregory Russell. Richard also leaves behind two cherished grandchildren, Christopher Olson (Marina) and Catherine Gregory. His memory will be held close by his sisters Michelle DiBenedetto and Leanora Chiaruttini (John). Throughout his life, Richard found joy and camaraderie in motorcycle riding and shooting sports. He was an active participant in the Mississippi Peacemakers and the Single Action Shooting Society (SASS), communities that reflected his adventurous spirit and appreciation for tradition. May Richard’s memory bring comfort to those who knew him and continue to inspire stories shared among family and friends. A Visitation will be held on May 15, 2025, from 04:00 PM to 06:00 PM at Dobies Funeral Home, 9944 Hudson Ave, Hudson FL 34667.
