Won't be posting for a while. Just to let you all know, I've been admitted to Hospital. I've just gone and poisoned myself. I ate what I thought was an onion but it was a Daffodil Bulb. They said I'll be out sometime in the Spring.....

6. Sounds like hard work

LOL

The irony being most in Townsville can't read

Just horrible.

"SSAA & all the other affilliates are all just hangers on with no teeth" That's just you're opinion and the SSAA would heartily disagree with you. You have a gripe on with the SSAA, I don't. You've got your opinion I've got mine.....that's what makes the world fun In the end the only opinion that matter is what SASS decides they're going to do with non SASS members (and if they will recognize other country SA affiliates) and who will and who won't have access to the Wire and as yet, they haven't.

Best times of the year to visit Australia

I said the SSAA is affiliated' with SASS PM - SSAA Single Action Shooting – Australia is affiliated with the world governing body SASS – Single Action Shooting Society. Matches are conducted using the International Rules of Single Action Shooting as promulgated by SASS. https://ssaansw.org.au/disciplines/single-action/#:~:text=SSAA Single Action Shooting – Australia,Shooting as promulgated by SASS Here in Australia SASS is promoted and proudly supported by SSAA. SASS has a motto and that motto is the "Spirit of the Game", https://www.ssaawa.org.au/disciplines/single-action

29+ years I've been the club secretary at my club now, over 3 years ago we kicked off SA and now have 37 of our members participating in this discipline (we also shoot IPSC, WA1500, Service Pistol, Olympic Pistol, Metallic Silhouette, Black Powder and I've just had the range approved for shotgun). I've enjoyed talking %~^# here with other cowboys from around the world, it's been an enjoyable time in the saddle here...... But there's not a snow balls chance in hell of me dropping/flushing $600.00 yearly to make some posts in the saloon. I'll just keep working my backside off (as will Jenorado) organising and ROing SA & WB matches and competitions and furthering the sport down here and growing it. I have given a lot of my life and volunteered countless years furthering the shooting sports since getting my school colours in the shooting team. I've never made nor wanted a cent........ So I won't be lining someone's pockets for nothing. To all the pards that I have your emails & FB info, keep in touch if the faceless power's that be aren't happy that I won't be lining their pockets with $$$ for nothing and boot me OK.

Oh golly I'm so sorry my heart bleeds for you both.

Makes me feel really old.

@Painted Mohawk SASS 77785 PM try and get down to Nowra mid April for The Last Posse three day match, be great to meet up mate. Squints is still shooting, though he's not the SA Code Captain anymore and he's still recycling his jokes - https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeWhRXLT2o1NbbLHItuyXs-PkYsJovSl9zH8ZUmQn_CL51xYA/viewform?fbclid=IwY2xjawIGSgtleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHUZ5Rf4ZVmWxeLsiYD0fBBSX5K1iy-f75mqV1o7A-y9Aop_BRfkI_jbEqg_aem_3fm53hKgTp-rCZv8d0G7CQ

Aussies Being Idiots: Fails Around The World

@Misty Moonshine For your attention and clarification - Thanks

I'm never going to the USA to compete PM (unfortunately health precludes me) I'm not prepared to drop $280AUD a year for a zero benefit for both myself and Jenorado (also RO2 SA & RO2 WB) when we pay our yearly Australian affiliation to the SSAA here. If it means not posting here, well, unfortunately so be it. Hopefully one is still allowed to view, even if they can't participate.

If its enacted that NON SASS Members won't have access to the SASS forums, where does that leave NON SASS Members from Overseas who are financially affiliated with SASS through their countries SASS affiliation? I'm not a member of SASS, but I'm a financial member of the Sporting Shooters Association of Australia who IS affiliated through SASS to participate and compete in SA & WB matches, so we follow all SASS rules, have SASS Territorial Governors, undertake and pass SASS RO Level 1 and Level 2 Courses for SA & WB etc etc.
