Bad Hand Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Just curious, did he shoot the match in th T-shirt, or just change into it for the awards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colt Faro, SASS #54579 Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 His other shirt was soaked. It was 108 degrees that day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colt Faro, SASS #54579 Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 Actually he insisted on full gear he had on a vest, chinks, black felt hat and his boots. He about overheated. Good thing he drank lots of water! Thanks for the water Doc Brazos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Hand Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Well, all those other shooters, obviously much older than him, managed to stay in costume, at least the ones in your viedo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colt Faro, SASS #54579 Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 Well, all those other shooters, obviously much older than him, managed to stay in costume, at least the ones in your viedo. I made him change I'm so sorry if that offends you in some way. As for the other folks, I'm not their father so I have no control over what they wear. By the way did you see how red his face was in the video. I care more about his health than staying in a hot costume on 108 degree Texas afternoon.

Doc Cole 52765L Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Bad Hand, Not everyone stayed in costume. There were even some shooters who wore short sleeves for match. No one there seemed to care. Wrangler dresses his part for the match. I've seen some clubs require costume through the awards, but this didn't seem to be one of them. I've only been down here for a few months, but most of the clubs I've shot with so far are pretty open about their summer costume policy. Seems to make sense. Wrangler shot and worked with the posse. Doesn't seem like it should be an issue. Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Stevens SASS#55996 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Rattlesnake is a very polite young man and a credit to the sport and his Dad's raising. He works a posse and is provides encouragement for shooters young and old. Not to mention one heck of a shooter. The clothing don't make the man,which at least one on here has proven. Good work Dylan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colt Faro, SASS #54579 Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 It's happening just like you said Deuce, when they start getting good they come under a microscope! Lol. I guess that's when you know your a good shooter when they start picking on you for ridiculous crap. In this case a 12 year old. Wow some people are just..... I'm not gonna finish that thought. Oh well. God bless you Bad Hand I wish you all the best my friend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom, SASS #54973 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Bad Hand my friend, Rattlesnake is a great young man. He loves the game and truly has the "Spirt". Cut the boy a little slack. Respectfully, Phantom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Possum Skinner, SASS#60697 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I have great respect for both Rattlesnake and his dad . Their generosity (not just material) and spirit should be an example to us all. Tfe heat has been brutal and we should all make allowances in how folks deal with it. From all I've ever seen, Rattlesnake and...uh... Rattlesnake's dad should both hold their head up high. Very high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two Gun Johnnie Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Yep, the boy had on a t-shirt. WHO CARES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So did I and many others. I SHOT in a t-shirt all weekend. For the people who made it through it all weekend, it was 110 on saturday and 108 on sunday. 8 people did not even make it back to shoot sunday because of the heat and I don't blame them one bit!!! Yes, I think we should all try to go by the spirit of the game we play, but at some point, it can cross the line when the weather becomes dangerous. I can tell all of you that Rattlesnake Wrangler is one of the finest young shooters in our sport. I predict that he will be one of the youngest SASS regulators that SASS has ever had because of the things he is doing for our sport right now. I found it kinda funny that when that 13 year old boy was crowned the Champion of Showdown, all I heard was cheers, and nothing about the shirt he was wearing. RS, your my boy and I got your back.

Cash Duckett Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Way to go Rattlesnake! Wish I was there to see you and your old man shoot. Don't worry about Bad Attitude, or whatever his handle is. What goes around comes around and you are in a position to reap all the good you sew. Can't wait to see you guys again. Good luck in school this year, keep makin us all proud.

Colt Faro, SASS #54579 Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 Forgive me if I'm wrong here but I think bashing a 12 year old boy is much more out of the cowboy spirit than wearing a T shirt at a 108 degree informal award ceremony. I put this post up to recognize not just Rattlesnake but also all the other shooter that did well. I also wanted to recognize the folks who worked so hard putting on this match. Hijacking this thread with the bashing of a 12 year old Top Shooter is not only inappropriate it is shameful in my opinion. Thank you to all of the folks who supported us with their comments. There I said my peace, I won't comment further on anything other than what this thread was intended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
