Bladesmith, SASS 113085

I’ll take “A” & “2”. I’ll send a PM.

That’s fantastic! Thank you very much for taking the time to do that!

Thank you! I don’t know why in the modern era it didn’t occur to me that so many would already be available in a digital format, but that’s great to find!

Thank you @Badlands Bob #61228 & @Chief Rick I’ll check both of those out!

Agreed! Precariously balancing everything was using brain cells I wanted to save for remembering what I was supposed to do on the stage. And maybe it’s just me, but I also drop about one shotgun shell for every three I grab if I have to reach to the bottom of the cart to find my reloads. This should help on both counts!

Thanks! I was pleased to find that the brackets were the prefect for the plow handles.

@Sedalia Dave that would be great! Thank you!!

I’d like to acquire some handbooks from previous matches, the sort that show the stage instructions and layouts. I’d like to start doing some more dry fire practice and I figure it would be helpful to practice a variety of sequences. Somewhat recent-ish is probably better so I’m practicing like stages are set up these days since I know that’s changed over time. So if you have a stack collecting dust, let me know. I’ll be happy to cover postage and send a few extra pesos for your trouble.

Nothing too fancy here, but I finally got around to making a shelf and adding it to my gun cart. The part I thought might be of interest to some is the folding shelf brackets I found on Amazon. Due to the design, you have to use pretty short screws in the front in order to collapse the shelf fully. I didn’t realize that at first and didn’t use short screws, but it still folds enough for easy transport so I may leave it as is.

I’ll take the #5 shotgun belt. Sending a PM.

I’ll let others debate the other details, but as a new participant, I wanted to say 1000% yes on the making sure you have an address easily visible. I’ve lost track of how many match flyers, facebook pages and websites have led me on a wild chase just to find out where in the world the match is being held. It’s not a good return on your investment to spend 10 minutes searching and find the match you were curious about is on the other side of the country. As a result, many keep browsing and miss even the events that were close by if it isn’t clearly indicated.

Oh man. One of those screws got me on my TTN version. You should have better luck than I did since I found the Norinco version to be readily available and the TTN version to be a thing of myth and legend. Should you need it, you can visit this thread for more suggestions on venders or, should you enjoy tedious work that makes you mutter under your breath, info on how I made my own.

@Eyesa Horg thanks for the suggestion, but sadly I made sure to add the appropriate email address to the safe list on the accounts and it didn't make a difference. It's also worth noting that messages are not going to the SPAM/Junk folder, they aren't making it the accounts at all so far as I can tell.

I know this topic has been discussed, but in reviewing the prior posts, I haven't seen that someone has found a solution so I'm checking in to see if anyone found something that works. I signed up for the SASS forum using my old Hotmail account some time ago and all was swell. I got notifications just like I should. Within the last few weeks, I realized I was no longer getting notifications from my watched boards. I signed out of my account and tried to sign back, but had to reset my password to do so. That was a whole thing because I couldn't get the reset emails to go through either. The SASS office helped with that. I've since come to find that not receiving notifications at Hotmail and Gmail is a known issue. I'm set up now to get notifications at my work email, but I hope that is temporary since it's hard enough to keep up with that inbox already. I tried forwarding from my work to my Hotmail inbox automatically, but Hotmail is rejecting those forwards, so I'm hoping someone has found a work around to the Hotmail/Gmail issue since my personal emails are through those. Any such luck? Anyone find something that works? Thanks!

I’ll take those @Too Tall Bob.
