Yellowstone Vic SASS#32968

Such a great loss to the SASS community and especially the Arizona cowboy family. Phil was always very nice and supportive of Kat (as all the AZ cowboys/cowgirls are) when I was away working. Yet a reminder that we never know when our time is done and we will be called away. “Live Everyday; No Regrets” Our condolences to Phil’s family and his cowboy friends. Prayers for all. Vic and Kat

"Reckoning on The Rock" 2025 was a terrific match! The Regulators led by Turkey Legs did a class match and have built a class Cowboy Action range at the Beloit Rifle club. This was an close and furious match and enjoyed by many. If you would like to see the stages and details of the match you will find it here: https://www.rockriverregulators.net/reckoning-on-the-rock It may not always be the Illinois State championship, but it will definitely be a match to have on your "list". Thank You, Rock River Regulators for a very enjoyable weekend! Thank you to CHAOS for keeping Posse 6 running smooth. Vic and Kat

1860s to 1900 is a good date range with the exception of B-Western in which your basing your costuming on Hollywood interpretations from the B-Western era (mid 1930s to 1950 and the RULE BOOK). I would suggest trying to settle on a persona that you would like to portray (rail engineer, frontiersman, working cowboy, visitor from foreign land, banker, traveling salesman, ect) and then do your research on clothing accoutrements. Folks in the West were pretty open to wearing whatever was available and functional. Thinkin' it might be easier that way. YMMV

This right here…..

Hoss, I take them. Sending a PM. Vic

@Randy Saint Eagle, SASS # 64903 Couldn't get Randy's file to open very nice.......give this one a try. Vihtavuori_Cowboy_Data.pdf I have used N320 for several years in modern and cowboy guns with good results.

Back ordered a set from Midway last month. Kat messaged me this afternoon that they arrived in the mail. Never had luck trying to “race the email” to Brownells.

Congratulations Lefty Jo. Enjoyed shooting the match with you. Vic and Kat

Nice job Phil. Glad you got your eyes fixed and it obviously has put you back on your game. Congratulations!! Vic and Kat

Gonna "Choke" everything up routing down Carefree Highway. One accident and it's a "Poop Show". Leave plenty early!
