The Original Bad Bob Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 ...with one of the guys at the club. This guy is not just any guy, he's one of the main guys, organizes a lot of matches, been around for ever, has a reputation as a very good guy with an encyclopedic knowledge of all things firearms related. He was shooting a cool old Yugoslavian Mauser with hand loaded ammo... anyway, to get to my point (and I do have one) I asked him if he ever did any CAS and he said no, not anymore, not since they required you belong to SASS, and made you wear boots and funny pants. So, I guess it's not for everyone, not every die hard shooter wants to do it. That's OK with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boots are only needed for a couple of categories (BW and CC). SASS membership is only required for State Championship and above. Now some clubs may make it mandatory but not many. Jeans are perfectly acceptable in all but those same two categories so I guess jeans are funny pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Original Bad Bob Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 This range trip was to shoot .44 Specials through my Rossi. They kick about half as much as .44 Magnums. Very fun to shoot, and very accurate at 25 yards too. That was my first time shooting that particular round. I think it would make an excellent self defense round for inside the home.

Nichols Creek, SASS #77627 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I would not be to concerened. If he could not afford the membership for a year at a time, probably couldn't afford to shoot a match anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original Bad Bob Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 I think he was just making excuses because he didn't want to do it. He probably has enough to do without adding one more thing. He's really into old bolt rifles and shooting open sights at 200-300 yards. That's really what he likes to do. He's always at those competitions; in fact, I think he's in charge of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Affiliated clubs do have to maintain at least 50%: Maintain no less than 50% of its membership in SASS. (This applies to only the "cowboy part" if part of a larger, multi-discipline shooting club. The 50% rule is waived the first year.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grapeshot 8553 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Nah...but close. She was older I think. I bought her a drink at the bar and she ordered vinegar and water. Vinegar and water? Ain't drunk that since I was with the Tenth Legion in Juedea. We were trying to root out a bunch of Zealots from Masada. Casca Longinus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The central florida rifle and pistol club has about 1100 members......The cowboy match there averages less than 30 and most of those folks are not club members. I think it's safe to say that the VAST majority of the folks you meet at that club are not interested in cowboy. I know of NO clubs in the state of florida that require SASS membership for monthly matches.....including the Central Florida Rifle and Pistol Club.

Long Branch Louie Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Everybody's different. I don't like plastic guns, I've had a few, but go back to all metal stuff time and again. I'd like to have been a real cowboy even though I don't much care for horses. But I would had to have been careful, a gunslinger I'm certainly not. I'd a probably got gunned down in a saloon by an 1880's Red River Ray.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAS/SASS should be for everyone...the difference is in how we define "everyone". I don't define "Everyone" as everyone that shoots. "Everyone" is defined as "Everyone" that does participate in this game. Sorry my friend...but I can't give ya that Ceegar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
