Purly SASS # 57438 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Should state championship buckels be worn at annual shoots, monthly shoots, or at clubs you have never shot at before ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anvil Al #59168 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Should state championship buckels be worn at annual shoots, monthly shoots, or at clubs you have never shot at before ? Why would you not????? When I was showing horses. I would wear those at other horse shows. And everywhere else I went. Don't really understand why anyone would think that you should not. But. If you got them. And don't want to. Then don't. But if you want to. SURE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howdy Doody Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 It is also a good way to sort of adverise for a match you liked. I wear a Dooley Gang buckle on occasion and it is so big it shades my back in hot weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manatee Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 The only problem with wearing it on one of your belts is...... people can't always see it. Wear it as a hat band! (ps. Congrats!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Canyon Kid #43974 Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I use one on my shotgun belt. It comes from a state I don't shoot in much, and does draw a bit of conversation at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creeker, SASS #43022 Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I still wear the first one I ever won on my shotgun belt. I have won a few more buckles since then - but...

Outlaw Gambler Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Gamblers' Gal and I were both lucky enough to win State titles in WI a year apart. You better beleive it didn't take 5 minutes to remove our regular belt buckles and put on our state championship buckles. Probably be the only ones we get so we will wear them proudly. Just a thought, if I wore mine as a hatband I'd never be able to keep the hat off my eyes, my ears aren't big enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dang It Dan 13202 Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I have a few and don't wear any of them. At first, I didn't want other folks to know who I was and didn't want them to get the impression that I was self-important. I figured I would let the guns do the talkin'. Then after a while, everyone knew who I was so I felt I didn't need to advertise. Now I let my wife do the talkin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BJT Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I have a State Championship buckle. The only issue I would have wearing it is embarrasing my state. I easily could. Very Best Regards, Rod Rubert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Dan Dawkins Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 If Ric Flair (16 TIME WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION) competed in SASS, you'd be sure he'd wear his championship buckle, provided he'd could earn one.

Adirondack Jack, SASS #53440 Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I wear the only one I have on my shotgun belt. I call it my "Longshot Logan" buckle. If LL woulda remembered what DAY the match started, and not DNF'd every stage the first day for not showing up until the second day of the first New England Regional, it woulda been his.

Blastmaster Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Those poor people that have more buckles than belts. Decisions, decisions, decisions.

Utah Bob #35998 Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 It's a buckle. It's meant to be worn. Now if you're carrying a trophy around and waving it at people, that's another matter. Buckle History Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No mear mortal would have had a wife as PURDY as yours an not been a champion!!!!! RRR No Ray, that was good old fashion salesmenship!! I go her to sign on the dotted line before she could think about what would happen after the warrantee ran out;). Anyway, she still has the possiblitiy of adding to her collection buckels, while I load the ammo, clean the guns and push the cart. I have given up trying to get past you, Stan, Sidekick, Outlaw, Drifter, and now Harland (who seems to be back with a vengence). Wild Bunch, here I come.

Bart Solo Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I am glad that is a problem I will never have. I can't even win my category at a club match if the good shooters show up. And hell yes I would wear one. Sometimes by wearing your buckle you are doing your pards a favor. The other day I brought one of my friends to a match. I shot as usual, but got a little better as stages developed. My friend watched, marveling at some of the good shooters. Later I asked my buddy if he noticed all the belt buckles. He said yes and let me know that he thought I had done pretty well considering the competition. Their wearing their buckles made me look passable by comparison.

Shooting Bull Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Buckels!!!! I thought it said buckets. I was trying to figure out what a championship bucket was, and how you would wear one.

Marshal Dan Troop 70448 Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Heck, I'm proud of the one I won at the Houston Horse show in the 70s, (actually my Buckskin did all the work) and still wear it proudly, even at some CAS events. Though, not a Championship Buckle, but I also wear a Jefferson County Sheriffs buckle, 1 of 200 given to the Deputies of the Department, and also Clint Walker and me. Buckles mean, and say a lot, of a time and moment in someones life, wear em proudly. MT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danite SASS #27034 Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 The only real downside to those buckles, if LIght Angel's is any indication, is if the sun is behind you and they are infront of you, you can be blinded!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
