Bona Fide Antique Match

Here's an idea I thought I'd run up the flagpole to see if anyone salutes it.

 

Call one local match a year the "bona fide antique match."

 

In general it is identical to a normal sass match, but anyone who brings a genuine antique firearm, (that is to say, 1898 or earlier) gets a cheap ribbon. Nothing fancy or expensive, just something that'd be nice to maybe tack onto a guncart perhaps.

 

Possible addition, whoever has the oldest pistol, rifle or shotgun, gets a little something extra.

 

Might be a nice way to encourage folks with real old timers that are still shootable to bring and show them off.

I really hate this idea ....

 

 

 

 

 

 

... because I don't have anything to show off.

 

Course I could go out and find something to buy.

 

 

OK, I'm in.:lol:

Neat idea - see some of the old stuff that isn't used for typical matches.

 

Would the most 'antique' shooter get an award as well?

Hey Waimei, I seem to remember a certain drilling? Looked old to me!

 

How about a 5 or 10 second bonus for each bonafide antique you use? Maybe up to four.

I'll show up. Winchester '92 and Marlin '94 made in 1894 and 1895 respectively. My main match shotgun won't qualify, it's too new, around 1906 or so. Got a Smith or two that would probably qualify too.

They used to have an antique class in tractor pulls around here where the age of the tractor and the age of the operator had to total 100 years.

 

150 might work for SASS.
