I participated in a monthly match today after a couple of months off due to weather and various other things. On the first stage of the day I shot early so I could take over the timer half way through the stage. When I took the timer, the first shooter walks up without a shotgun and says she does not shoot the shotgun. I was a little bewildered, so I asked her what she does shoot. She says she is shooting the Dale Evans category and just takes misses for the shotgun targets.
I started in SASS in 2020 and have participated in a bunch of monthly matches, state matches, regional, Nationals, and EOT. I have never heard of this category. The posse marshal had heard of the category, so we rolled with it. When I got home from the match, I did a little research on this category. I couldn't find any mention of it on the wire and nothing in the shooters handbook.
Who has heard of this category and can tell me the rules? I assume this category is restricted to monthly matches at the match directors discretion. She also said that no procedural penalty is given, only misses.
