Guest Kid Sopris, Regulator, #3290 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Since we seem to have some issues regarding competing evenly, I propose we re-do the categories. Lets break it up by Type of Pick-up you Drive to the match. Separate Categories for: Chevy Ford Dodge Foreign, (Honda, Toyota,) Then sub-divide by engine Gas or Diesel, Further break down by cubic Inches Full size, extended, Crew cab, Sub mid size, SUV And if you show up in a truck made before 1966, (Arbitrary Number), You can shoot classic. Those folks arriving in Sedan, Coupes, Station Wagons can shoot in Junior class. I suppose if you don't pass the smog test we can lump you in with the Black Powder Shooters... Skate Boards, Motorcycles, bicycles, unicycles and pedestrians can be lumped together in the "Save the Environment Class". Have I left anyone out, (alienated)? Oh one last thing if you drive a Supercharged, blown Gas or Diesel Hemi you will have to shoot the Pro-class. Flame Suit On ! :blink: Almost forget, Automatics have to shoot two handed, Manual transmission can shoot duelist or gunfighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 You left out us Jeep owners! Oh "the alienation!" Guess I could beg for an Open Category. EEUU, just so I don't have to shoot with Volvo owners. AM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Injun Ryder, SASS #36201L Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I've got a 1974 Mazda Rotary engine pickup with a manual transmission. Can I still shoot cross draw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Dave Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Nope, the only way to even the playing field is to make each competitor wear or carry EVERY trophy, award, buckle, etc. they have ever won WHILE they shoot. They'd still beat me, but it would be closer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buck D. Law, SASS #62183 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 That is an excellent idea. As it stands now, a feller can say he wants to shoot different categories and it's a good excuse to buy more guns. With these changes, we'll have an excuse to buy more trucks! I'll be able to shoot gunfighter in Classic because my 1965 Chevy has an automatic and it'll free up my hands if you don't count steering it (we are talking about mounted shooting here, aren't we?) I'll have to shoot left handed duelist in the Import category because my 1986 Nissan is a standard shift. BTW, standard shift is hillbilly for manual shift. If I try to shoot Modern, I'll have to borrow someone's truck. Yep, this IS a good idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gateway Kid SASS# 70038 Life Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Wait a minute here My '72 Ford is virtually identical mechanically to the '60's versions (and the '69 I used to have) so I should be allowed an exemption to shoot classic because it has round headlights, the original interior and when you first start it the engine smokes until it warms up. Those are period correct features so you need to add a category for trucks that are "almost" in the category guidelines!!! Plus my '04 Nissan Titan as a first year model clearly falls into the "modern" category and the '04 Frontier would probably fit the "Buckaroo" category. OMG we need more categories!!

Holden A. Grudge Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I propose all hybrid and electric engine vehicles be outlawed as they are not period correct (or at least less likely so) and could create a compettive advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandpa, Silver Senior Old Phart Frontiersman, but you have to shoot Cap and ball, By the way I think we can add an exception that anyone showing up in a Model T doesn't have to shoot he can just get a Belt Buckle.

Cypress Sun Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 What about the Delorean owners? Why can't they get a fair shake? Do both feet have to be on one side of the line or can you just straddle it? Does the stainless steel body mean I don't have to be clean every time? If I go back to the future, how am I ever supposed to look forward to the past? Hep me, Hep me.....I'm confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griff Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Let's see, instead of age-based categories, we'd have them based on vehicle mileage... When I travel out of town, my ol' truck has 1.8 Million miles on it, AND counting! Showed up in Carson City once, and one of the shooters was driving a 5-ton truck... said, "gee, I drive my biggest truck to a shoot just ONE time, and someone just HAS to show up in one bigger!" :lol: Sound about right to you, Buck?

Dang It Dan 13202 Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 If I drive a deuce and a half, would I be in the military-dress catagory? And if I mount a .50 cal on it do I have to stay under the allowable velocity rules? You might want to bring some extra targets after I am done shooting especially with the armor-piercing rounds and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustang Gregg Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 There's the times I drive my '71 Mustang to the matches {hence MUSTANG Gregg}. Where's that put the category for me?
