Bisley Joe

Well...

Just recalled Manatee. I shot with him down in Okeechobee, and he gave me a spring for the Marlin rifle I had back then.

So, who do you miss, or wonder "where are they now"?

SASS Alias: Bisley Joe SASS#: 29738 Where are you from: Cuba, New York, Florida, North Carolina, California, Colorado, Arizona... How long have I been shooting SASS: Since 2000 cowboysNY

OK, so let's get it back on track! Who have you missed dearly, other than me?

Most of the flamers are keyboard commandos, and they are a minority. The vast majority of people here are good people. At matches, I've only met good folks.

I'd say it WAS like that in the past. Doesn't seem like it now. A good thing.

Jabez Cowboy, Thank you! I'd love to shoot up there! Hope to do so one day in the not too distant future!

I have my opinions about SASS, and they're based on why I joined and the reasons SASS used to list on their description. Namely "to avoid the technical gamesmanship that has ruined other shooting sports". People can disagree or agree, but there's no need to be nasty and try to shut people up, especially when those doing it are jabbering about "freedom" and "the cowboy way" out of the other side of their mouths. I have found the people in SASS to be a group of the nicest people ever. I've been away because life got in the way, and I hope to get involved a lot soon as possible. I hope we, and others here, can shoot together and have a smoke or a drink someday, because life is just too damned short to waste it on petty hatred over opinions.

That's a good thing. Too bad it wasn't around a few years ago when even those with the responsibility to keep the peace were rousing the mob. But good to hear. I wonder how it'll stand up to actual "use" though...

I had no idea. May he rest in peace.

Howdy there, Gold Canyon Kid! Hope you're doing great! I'm in Arizona too! Where do you shoot? Maybe I can come to a match and say hi! We can even shoot on the same posse! Is 1 April your birthday? Yippy ki yay...

Howdy Jabez Cowboy!

Howdy pard, Got steered here by someone and got a good laugh. Still, you know, it isn't very polite to try and demean someone when they're not around to defend themselves. Not very much in the Cowboy Spirit, not to mention not being real "humble-like" or "nice". Plus it seems the "sex-crazed beagle" types are those keyboard commandos who can't' handle a different point of view without flaming like flaming flamers and calling people silly names, while engaging in mob-tactics, without ever learning how to engage in an intelligent discussion-even disagreement. But I guess that's just how some folks are... It's all good though. SASS is made up of a VAST majority of absolutely wonderful individuals. Maybe someday we will shoot at the same event and even shake hands. yippy ki yay...
