J-BAR #18287 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 WHAT??? There are people posting on the WIRE that are not SASS members or have never been to a shoot?? How can that be?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can that be?? There are folks, as guests, that have been on the Wire for quite a spell - they know what we are about, participate on the Wire frequently, enjoy the fellowship and use us as a resource for information. Of course guests are more than encouraged to be on the Wire, but after a couple years what's wrong with asking them to join & support us by becoming bonifide members?

Gunner Gatlin, SASS 10274L Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 Thanks Cowboy Rance...I never said that I thought our 'guests' are a problem like Jacknife has misinterpreted. Just simply asking them, if they have been on the Wire for quite sometime to consider joinin' the SASS family via membership in 2012. As a matter of fact I would be happy to pay a year membership if they needed. GG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MERRY CHRISTMAS GG ~ I don't have a problem with guests being active participants on the WIRE. Since the late '90's when I discovered SASS, I've seen quite a few that were very active supporters of the sport that appeared as 'guests' on the WIRE. We DO have a Member's Only forum if it bothers you as much as it appears to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocWard Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 GG, I thought long and hard before opening and reading this thread. As you might recall we had a bit of a go-around a couple of times, first because I was a "Guest" and second because I wasn't a "shooter." I will agree with you that membership is a great thing, supporting the sport itself, and receiving the Chronicle and the like are simply added benefits. The way I look at it, if a person is serious about shooting CAS, then a membership is a no-brainer. Once I knew I was going to be shooting, I joined. Long before I actually shot a match, if you'll recall. Unfortunately, I'm not sure how much I will be shooting this year, or even if I will have the money to renew when the time comes. With this economy, there are certainly others in the same boat, and they may want to simply keep their fingers on the pulse of the sport, as I will if I can't renew. I have every intention to do so, but it will depend on where we are when the time comes. Just a thought to keep in mind. I will take your OP as you have stated you intended it, as a sort of recruiting request as opposed to a demand, and hopefully the sport will benefit from it. Add my voice to the "if you can join, and you are shooting or plan to, then you should join if able" list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add my voice to the "if you can join, and you are shooting or plan to, then you should join if able" list. I appreciate it - I understand about the economy and many other things - wasn't going there...just a simple food for thought for guests to consider making 2012 the year to take that next step. Let me be clear: One does not have to be a SASS member to shoot (except in state, regional, and above matches), be on the Wire, or to participate in otehr ways! Unbeleivable how my OP turned into a series of misinterpretations. Of course there are a few people that this doesn't come as a surprise.

Jacknife Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 GG, if the "guests" present here bother ya, have ya ever thought about sending each and everyone of em a PM "requesting" (as you stated in the saloon) they join.
