Dorado 395 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Ok This being a old west thing we should be using old west guns. What do y'all think of changing the rules to not allow rugers and marlins? Those weren't around back then. UPDATE!!! It was an experiment. You can stop now. I was joking. Don't get you breeches in a twist. It's over. Stop. I repeat STOP! Link to post Share on other sites

What do y'all think of changing the rules to not allow rugers and marlins? Those weren't around back then. Is there not a NCOWS club around you? Just kidding pard. I guess they could, but where would you draw the line? Timers, gun carts, safety glasses, hearing protection & aids, zippers, short stroke and action jobs? BSD Link to post Share on other sites
Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 1,002 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 The boys invented this game with Rugers. It's the Single Action Shooting Society. Let's retroactively ban Rugers; then the game would never have come into being! Link to post Share on other sites

Ketchum Quick, SASS #72923 0 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Hey Dorado you might want to look into NCOWS if the period corrct firearms that others shoot bothers you and limits the fun you have while playing the game! Oh.... do you shoot a pair of first gen Colts and an original Winchester? See, second and third gen Colts were not around back then and Aldo Uberti wasn't either! KQ Link to post Share on other sites
lefty pete 0 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Dorado,if you really feel that way about it I have a idea for you.Dont use them.That is the great part of this game so many ways it can be played and enjoyed by all. Link to post Share on other sites

M.T Chambers, SASS#76185 62 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Ok This being a old west thing we should be using old west guns. What do y'all think of changing the rules to not allow rugers and marlins? Those weren't around back then. With that logic you would have to ban all clones such as Rugers, Berettas, Taurus', Ubertis, Piettas, Chiappas, Pumas, and shoot only products that are available from manufacturers that were around in the 1800's in a rimfire or WCF caliber? I for one couldn't afford it. Link to post Share on other sites

Dorado 395 Posted April 20, 2011 Author Share Posted April 20, 2011 Ok, so I like aggravating people. that's not a crime. But in all seriousness, I'm helping a friend of mine with some school work. She was charged with aggravating a group of people for 30 minutes and see what happens, for a psychology or sociology class or something like that. She has the distinct inability to make people mad. Its the strangest thing. But I told her I'd help her out. I have a knack for it, apparently. So, experiment over. Test done. Thank you for your unwitting participation.

Adirondack Jack, SASS #53440 16 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 I can't remember the exact words, but WB member Tex said on TV, something real close to this: "SASS is not how the west really was, but it's how people think it was, and that's close enough" THAT, dear reader is the heart and soul of SASS. This ain't "thread count policing" reinactors, this is a FANTASY game with an old west theme, nothing more..... So lemme ask this, with that in mind, would you even ASK your question?

And now, your the one who only took 30 minutes to get all riled up. Tell your experimental friend how this 'test' really worked out.... This is funny.
