Houston CAS

Yep! Scarlet is a very nice lady. Got to meet her at Hot Lead in Louisiana last year. She was very kind and gave my wife all kinds of advice on her shotgun handling.

Anyone know how it compares to a similar model offered by Armanov? https://www.armanov.com/shop/ammo-checker-100-rnd-with-flip-cover-36?category=89#attr=428 I had been considering that one as well.

Look for a matte screen protector to help with glare on your tablets.

It really varies based on how fancy you are making them. Definitely more expensive these days. It's ranged from $14-$22 over the years. They offer volume discounts as well. We do two styles, one for the category winner, and another for other top shooters in the category. If you go to our website www.THSS.org you can search for "buckles" and see some of what we've done over the years. The buckles are produced in China, so I'm a little worried about what the cost may look like next year. I'll cross that bridge in the Fall when we start preparing for Trailhead 2026. If you talk to them, tell them THSS sent you.

Yes that’s who we use at THSS. We’ve also used them for making pins. Michael and his graphics designer are really easy to work with on the design of the buckles. They do a lot of work for the Houston Rodeo badges and other buckles.

I'm lazy and want a .38SP load that feeds in both my 1873 and my wife's Marlin. Just measured and it was 1.491". I use cone-shaped 130 grain bullets. I tried pink rounded nose bullets in her Marlin, but that loaded at a lower OAL of 1.469", and she kept getting the Marlin Jam, so now I just am loading the rest of those to shoot in my revolvers until they're gone.

Thank you to everyone that came out! I just updated the Trailhead page with the results.

I have an Insta360 Go 3 camera that I use for 1st person video of stages. I like it because it easily transfers to my iPhone, where I can trim the beginning and ending of the video in a few seconds. It came with a clip that I can attach it to my cowboy hat. I press a button on the camera, then again when I'm finished. You can also control it from its base, but I don't use that feature. Here's my instagram where you can see some videos of it in action: https://www.instagram.com/houstongunfighter/

SASS isn't NFA-friendly. Shotguns have to be 18 inches, and when I asked if it would be Ok if I used a lever rifle that had a threaded barrel, they said no, even if I didn't use a suppressor on it during a match.

As written, the HPA provides for a refund of the stamp tax for suppressors purchased after October 22, 2015. This is so people don't completely stop buying them in anticipation of this passing. https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/367 I really hope this passes. I have an annoying uncle that stops by during hunting season every time there's a shot in the area to see if I got anything. A suppressor won't get rid of the sound completely, but it will help.

24" barrel seems long for something you want to attach a suppressor to. Plus it only holds ten rounds :/

I was actually looking at the 2.5" mini. Looks closer in size to the American Derringer.

What barrel length do most SASS shooters use on a Bond?

Anyone have both a American derringer and a Bond derringer that can post a photo of them side-by-side?

Just to make sure I'm looking at the right company, American Derringer's website is http://www.amderringer.com right? Because that website looks about ten years out of date. I am having trouble finding any real information about their products or the differences between them.

I just hate how big Bond derringers are.

THSS January match will be January 15th. Matches are held the third Sunday of each month. The club is located just North of Columbus, which is about 40ish minutes west of Katy. Main website http://www.thss.org Directions: http://www.thss.org/location/

The Trailhead Application is now online! You can find the application and additional details on the event at http://www.thss.org/trailhead/

We've been finalizing the application form. I believe it should be finished and online next week.

First deer rifle I ever used was my father's Savage 99 in .300 Savage. Love that rifle and that it says how many rounds are loaded. Genius!

Wait, there was a stainless Marlin 1984 in .357? Dammit Remington get those back in stock!
