Widder, SASS #59054 Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Creeker has a topic about category changes/competition, etc. (good thread) Anyhow, it got me to thinking about something...(dangerous) HOW MANY Gunfighters have been the OVERALL winner of a State Match.....Any State match. It doesn't have to be their very own State match. OR, they were the TOP shooter representing their state. For example, me thinks the following Gunfighters have either been the TOP GUN at the listed State Match OR, they have been the TOP GUN representing THEIR State: Lassiter......Ohio 2011 (placed in Top 10) Badlands Bud............Oregon 2008 (Won the match) Madd Mike .............Nevada ? (Placed in Top 10) Walker Colt ........... W.Virginia 2010 (?) (I think he won the match) Can anyone help me out with any info and/or corrections to my list?

Alaska is actually larger than Texas, Montana, and California combined.

SGT. ELI 35882 GUNFIGHTER Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Widder, I just got back into Gunfighter recently, but I did manage to take 15th overall at Illinois State with a pretty tough crowd, and that was using my hammer SxS. When my SKB gets here I should be able to improve my times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assassin Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 I believe the shooter formerly known as Vitavhouri Kid, or Mr.Shane Starret, was 8th overall at Winter Range back in 2001 shooting GF. Steve Thorton was his name and he won WR overall shooting modern in 2000. He always placed well @ EOT and WR. As for state level matches he was from Illinois and somebody might remember how he did back then. LL' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marauder SASS #13056 Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Easy Rider won GF at EOT and was in the top 10 - I know once and probably. That was with over 750 shooters. Not GF, but . . Silver City Rebel was in the top 10 and shooting black Powder. Holy Terror was in the top 10 more than once and second at national matches.

Madd Mike #8595 Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 The Gun Fighter category just plain ROCKS The Gun Fighter category had a rock-EE start anyone that has been along for the whole ride can truely appreciate what it has taken, to become what it is today It takes a special talent You have to ignore most of the posse, as they run their pistols stages through their heads out loud (as they have a pause after the first 5) If you time, you have to be careful, for the very same reason, you have just watched folks do pistols targets the same, yet different, as they dont have lead changes and stuff) You have to have the patients to listen and explain Gun Fighter rules to NON gun fighters, that are often wrong. You have to hit two holsters at the same time when done with shot ten you change site pictures with every shot (99%) of the time you shoot every stage with your week-hand t00 you shoot every stage, with un-supported pistol hold / stance thats why I say it takes a special talent Gun Fighter category is the full-fill-ment of a dream, and a lotta hard work from Tex (SASS #4) This year EOT is offering Frontier Cartridge Gun Fighter and I will be there doing --just that-- FCGF RocKs-0n-even-better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pit Bull Tex Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 I will never be fast started at 67.Shot two supported,and I could see I was getting better every time I went to a shoot,shot that way for about 3 months . But I would watch Possum shoot gun fighter and I could not stand it.I shot G F at a shoot and had so much fun.I will shoot GF until I can hold my guns any more.I like it because you have to think how to shoot each stage. I had to shoot DD on a stage because I did not feel good about moving from one place to another with my guns in my hands.But I think GF it more fun than anything. I hope a top gunfighter wins it all.

Granny Annie SASS #37063 Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 I believe Half-a-Hand Henri has won her state championship more than once shooting Gunfighter. I'm also thinking she won her regional when they lived in New England shooting gunfighter. (Someone please correct me if this is not correct.) I just started shooting L Gunfighter this year and Henri is my hero! I've won the Iowa State Championship a couple times shooting L Duelist.

Slowhand Bob, 24229 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 There has been somewhat a breakdown of one of the topics and a couple or so of the posters have actually stated that if those top shooters who are shooting in categories that do not win the top overall are simply being recognized to make them feel good. The concept promoted being that if they were top shooters they would be shooting in the most competitive category. It seems funny to me that no one has challenged that concept. http://sassnet.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=171349 I really feel that anytime we see a shooter in Duelist, Gunfighter or one of the black powder categories shoot competitively against a Traditional style shooter we are seeing an individual who is just as talented and dedicated as anyone else in the competition and on those occasions in which he wins OA, perhaps a bit more so!

ironmaiden Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Tall Drink A.Water won Winter Range GF in 2009 and was in the top 10. He came in 3rd at EOT in 2009 win his shotgun blew up in his face on the last stage. He was also in the top 10. Has won several state GF's and has went back and forth with Lassiter. He hasn't shot in a year now. He became a cop and has got the time off anymore. I would say that as far as wins, Half a Hand Henry is the best! I.M.
