Rye Miles #13621 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I thought I'd post this in the more friendly saloon than that other place cause you guys and gals would probably understand more (maybe not?) My question is WHY is Evil Roy wearing a baseball cap in this month's chronicle while hosting a shooting school for cowboys?? Really?? He couldn't wear a cowboy hat? I have nothing personally against Roy he's probably a great guy. I know he's an excellent shooter and a great asset to our sport but wouldn't a cowboy hat be more in line with what we're doing? I may becoming an old curmudgeon and if ya think so by all means let it fly! Rye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Bob #35998 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 It's his shooting school, not a SASS event. He can wear a fedora or a doo rag as far as I'm concerned. He never does that during an event or during the award ceremonies. He is one of the best examples of class and the Cowboy Way around. And yes, he is a great guy.

Oh well....figure if'n ya be teaching a 'cowboy' shooting you'd sport the proper cover. Like was mentioned - his school, his preference I reckon.

Rex M Rugers #6621 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 During the shooting parts of the class Evil Roy and Wicked Felina wear electronic earmuffs instead of the usual earplugs to better facilitate communication. Kinda unhandy with a hat. Besides , like Utah Bob says , it is at his school , what difference does it make. Maybe one should take the CC lay-out folks to task for using the picture , if it offends one. Happy trails , Rex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizzly Dave Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I did a double take as well but it didn't rile me up none. Given the explanation of wearing ear muff style hearing protection for better communication it makes perfect sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Bob #35998 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 What aggravates me more about the Chronicle is the reports on shoots that were held up to a year ago. Timely it ain't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Dave Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I enjoy the articles on matches. And it doesn't bother me too much that they are often months old. Heck, it ain't breaking news, if you want to know the scores the club websites have them. Pretty much the articles are reports to describe the match and activities and in many ways serve to generate interest for next years match. When I first started out I would eagerly await each CC, and read it cover to cover. As time goes by, I find myself taking much longer to get through it, after you've read so many match reports, they kind of start sounding alike.

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I do enjoy the articles about little know persons and some of the world wide venues that we do not see here in the States, every day.

Guest Tennessee Stud, SASS# 43634 Life Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Worst trouble I ever got into... was when I criticized Lead Dispensor for cowboy-shooting-records... on video... that depicted him and all others without cowboy clothes. Could care less what Evil Roy thinks of me... (probly nothin!!)... which is more like it. I am in this sport to see what is in this sport. If you don't like it... hurt me. As an ol' guy... I do love Evil Roy... although he wouldn't know me from crap. Well... he and his grand-daughter is a great guy. I don't have enough thanks for him... hope he will accept the little that I can provide. But you know what... Lead Dispensor is alsw a great guy... I do love him so. ts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irish ike, SASS #43615 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 First SASS rules do not require you to wear a hat, except for BW and Classic Cowboy. Once you leave the line you can wear anything you want. Only CC is required to wear their gear all the time and even at the awards He's teaching a class on cowboy shooting and it's not a SASS class at this point he's a vendor and there are no cloathing/hat requirements. He's advertising his company and is wearing a set of ear muff's. You don't have to dress the part to be a good cowboy and person like Roy is.

Rye Miles #13621 Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 Look I know that was his shooting class and yes he can wear whatever he wants and blah, blah. I know all about freedoms BUT I just wonder why he didn't at least take off the ball cap for the pictures! SASS rules says NO ball caps and while I know this was not a SASS match I just think it sends the wron g message. Dressing western is as much of this sport as our old time guns are. Just MHO.

Rye Rye, You just received some of what happened to me about three years ago when I made a comment that was in my mind being presented with a dry sense of humor. The TV program that was on and now discontinued that featured stories about the different facets of cowboy shooting, first hosted by Tequila had Evil Roy as a guest one week. When it comes to the proper nomenclature of guns. Pistol is the name for any semi- auto style of handgun with a magazine that fires with each pull of the trigger. Revolver is the proper name of the guns used in SASS as they have a revolving cylinder. I posted on one of the forums that he had made a huge mistake. IIRC my OP stated EVIL ROY GETS IT WRONG ON TV. You would have thought I had shot the pope!! I was told things like ,have your ever heard of someone being revolver whipped, to I should not speak bad about some one who had done so much for the sport. I was told by my wife, David you have to remember that these people don't know that you joke around like that all day every day. You have a dry sense of humor and they don't get it. I figured out then not to ever post another dark joke about anyone who was known by the general membership. Take Care my friend David PS By the way I got your meaning from the first reading. What you were trying to relay is that we are exposed to Evil Roy for years in his man in black look. When he steps from this while teaching shooting he should look like his name implies.

It's his school, it's about whatever he wants it to be about! If you don't like it, don't go. Perhaps when you have as many world championships as he does you'll be in a position to opine about how other people ought to practice. I just got through practicing my draw and reholster with my Rugers and my SKB techniques. I did so in my robe, is that a problem? Fairshake, it must be nice to be in a position to judge how someone else should look while they are working at their own business, are you saying that because he has established a certain image he owes it to you to always present that image?
