[The Chicken George SASS Family]

Thank you so much for sharing their story.  This is one incredible family, both in shooting and in faith.  My family has had the pleasure of watching their children and parents progress and they are remarkable.  It is such a pleasure to enjoy their friendship !!!!  Hope to shoot with them soon.

[Adult lead exposure from ammunition reloading and indoor residential shooting]

Had to stop shooting for a while due to health reasons (heart, back and bad knee replacement).  Over the last year my doctor has been concerned of my lead level  On 4/24/2023 my level was 15.9.  On 8/15 it went down to 8.4 and on 12/12 it was 7.1.  I hope to start shooting again soon and will try and be more careful in the reloading room and at matches.

[SASS, The Early Days]

This is outstanding.  The history of what we are so excited about.  Wish my family could have meet China Camp..  Remarkable video.  Didn't see pictures of to many young shooters.  Hope more people contribute.  Thanks to those who are sharing.

[Uberti1873 Competition Rifle............HELP]

Our competition rifles are by Palo Verde Gunworks.  When you go to someone like Rich, he is fine tuning that rifle for world class shooters.  He stands by his work and is completing the work himself.  He puts in both 4th and 5th generation actions.  You do need to shoot other rifles and feel the difference.  Often it is the personal touch that makes a difference.  I highly recommend you shoot various rifles before you spend the money.  

[If Rank Points Are Truly Here To Stay]

While I am in favor of total time, I want to congratulate all the champions of rank point matches.  I believe rank pt matches are very strategic in knowing how to shoot them and can understand their challenge.   Just to help those that are having a tough time understanding the problem shooters have with rank points, I want to share the difference between two stages and times at EOT.  On stage 7 a score of 21.18 had 199 rank pts.  On the same stage a 5+/- second faster score of 16.17 had 36 rank points.  In the 5 second difference there were 163 shooters who shot between the 5 second difference equaling 163 rank pts.  On stage 6 a score of 31.41 had 200 rank pts. while a 5 second faster score of 26.38 had 88 rank pts, there was  a 112 pt difference.  A miss, fumbled shotgun reload, rifle jam cost more on stage 7 than stage 6 costing the shooter 51 more rank pts.  A championship won in the 1990's is just as hard to win as championship win in 2017.   While I know there is more to it than this one illustration, I hope it helps understand the differences in opinions.     

[SASS Celebrates 30 Years!]

Congratulations and continued success. Thank you for everything you do from the whole family. See you at Winter Range!!

[January Cowboy Chronicle features top shooters]

SASS is an incredible organization. We have been fortunate to have met so many great friends through SASS. Thank you for your responses. Allie Mo, we would enjoy with you some day.

[January Cowboy Chronicle features top shooters]

Thank you for the recognition of the champions at EOT in the January Chronicle. As a proud father this was nice to see. It also was very informative to learn more about Missouri Lefty. The chronicle also was informative of the other champions at state, regional, divisional and national champions. Thank you for your hard work and recognition. Always enjoy see how other shooters are competing across the world.

[Marlin 1894 Century Limited]

Congratulations-What a beautiful firearm. Glad it worked out.

[Marlin 1894 Century Limited]

Great rifle-However, some of the rifle barrels did however have a problem when they shipped them off to be engraved. I had to send two out of four I purchased back to Marlin due to corrosion inside the barrel. They did take care of me and I was impressed with their service. One of the shops in Prescott AZ also had the same problem. Several of my friends also purchased that model and did not have a problem. They are incredible firearms and I now wish they had just replaced the barrels.

I always thought it was, "the older I get the better I was."

[Why would you do that?]

Case gauge all ammo and use new brass for a big match. We use a funnel to listen for powder in every case. Check every primer to see if it is properly seated. Inspect each case for problems.

[Prices on the Colt SAA]

I remember with Quigley Down Under came out and the waiting list for a C or Shiloh Sharps went to a 5 years. Shortly after that the prices started rising. One nice thing about it was you could put down a deposit and get the price locked in with a C Sharps and they would notify you of a price increase. C Sharps make it so you had the opportunity to pay it off in case of an increase. I seem to remember the price increased a bit before I received the rifle and it was a great investment. My wife let me know it is only an investment if you a willing to sell.

[Where Have all the Cross-Draws Gone]

It would be interesting to see what the top 16 shooters prefer.

[SASS Kicker and Cody James grandfather passes.]

As many of you know SASS Kicker and Cody James grandparents, John and Jerry Ryan, attended every World, National, and State Cowboy Action Championship. Unfortunately, John Ryan passed away yesterday of a heart attack. Having John and Jerry at these events was like having your own cheer squad at a Cowboy Action Shoot. SASS Kicker stayed her junior and senior years with John and Jerry to attend a more rigorous high school in Phoenix and prepare her for a career in medicine. SASS Kicker wrote in the January 2017 Cowboy Chronicle, I have grown so close to my family and the many SASS members that I also consider family. Thank you everyone for your support in making SASS a family affair. John Ryan loved what we do, and loved the cowboy way!
