Shooting Bull Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 The challenge to run as quickly as possible without crashing is on the shooters shoulders. The man speaks from experience! Two of the most fun experiences you'll ever have in SASS: #1 Watching Creeker run the ragged edge without crashing #2 Watching Creeker run the ragged edge and have a major train wreck I greatly prefer #1 but, #2 will certainly tickle your funny bone.

Possum Skinner, SASS#60697 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 You're not behind the times, I have deep respect for your contributions to our game and to your opinions. And I didn't take your input as meaning you desire bulls eye events. But context is everything. The stage in question was a recreation of the outhouse scene from Unforgiven. The Schofield Kid opens the door to the outhouse and shoots the fat man within. The target was placed at a realistic distance and within the realistic confines of the event being recreated. As a match director, sequences and target arrays are going to invite you to run the ragged edge. The challenge to run as quickly as possible without crashing is on the shooters shoulders. My goal is to offer adrenaline rushes and shooters laughing at the unloading table with comments like "I think I forgot to breathe" Everybody, at least once in their CAS career, should shoot a stage and feel like Superman. Well now, that stage does sound fun! I really appreciate the fact that you took my post as I meant it. I absolutely enjoy doing different things and have fun challenging myself.

Madd Mike #8595 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I would assume that the thinking behind it is so that people can shoot it as fast as they possibly can feeling as though they can't miss. More speed= more fun in my opinion. that is why clubs use life sized bear targets (nevada rangers) a tadd bit farther than one yard or as in georgia, MOngo any target at any distance can be missed, true fact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hells Comin Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Some Way Some How I Screwed It Up ! But It Was Scary Fun. How That I've Shot It I Would Like To Do It Again! Keep Up The Great Stage Writing! Hell Will Be Comin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madd Mike #8595 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 there was a time in sass that when you put something into a stage to watch folks screw it up it was called a P trap targets so close on purpose, so that its fun to watch folks screw up? hey if ya all like it, thats fine have fun things have truely changed alot there is no target to big or to close that it cant be missed cud this be a hidden miss trap LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creeker, SASS #43022 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Hard to believe that some would equate big, close target arrays with deliberately written Procedural traps The difference is... Eldorado is NOT written to beat you. Eldorado is written with closer target arrays, and straightforward sequences to allow EVERY shooter to "feel" like they can run full out. And part of this game (no matter what the target array distance or sequences) is knowing when to throttle back to keep yourself under control. It is the rare shooter than can run every single stage 100% all out without fumble, bobble or jacked out round. I have given this analogy before, IMO, Cowboy Action Shooting is comparable to oval racing. Strap our moms into a Sprint Cup car and they could go out on the high backs of Talledega and drive - They could go round and round and eventually go fast enough to scare themselves. And if they step over their personal edge, they'll lose it. That same car with Jimmie Johnson in it can go a lot faster without losing control, but because there are folks trying to beat him, he has to push for his personal edge as well. Driving in circles is easy, how fast you drive in that circle is the challenge. Driving on an oval or cowboy action shooting - the concept itself should be pretty easy. Now add speed and a whole bunch of other folks pushing you... Now it gets interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokestack SASS#87384 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 a certain shooter growing to become ro of two clubs, has over the years bragged, on the range, about setting up fast traps among other things (prop staging aspects), hopeing to see ? what ever but no one has to beleive me as mileage always varies HUH?

(Love ya Creeker ) Well....I don't know....#2 IS pretty fun to watch! hahahaha Ya know I love ya Creeker! Back to that HUGE REALLY close target...it really WAS fun to shoot...then moving on to normal targets...you had to remind yourself to look at the sights. And about the registration....I'm not going to be able to make it back out there this year...3 round trips in 3 months between Louisiana and Nevada was plenty enough for me this year. LOL Wish I had the energy...you always do a great job setting up a match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 "The stage in question was a recreation of the outhouse scene from Unforgiven. The Schofield Kid opens the door to the outhouse and shoots the fat man within. The target was placed at a realistic distance and within the realistic confines of the event being recreated." This stage was a lot of fun and very cleaverly done. When you design a stage with doors no matter how nice or simple it is done some one will try to rip the door off its hinges or slam it open so hard that it hits a wall and bounces back getting in the shooter's way. The door looked like a regular door but it was hinged, horizontally, in the middle. You started with your hands on the upper part of the door and at the beep pushed it and the top half fell backwards onto a hay bale revealing the target. Actually seemed like more than a yard, but the main point is the stage was basically bozo proof. The hinges could'd be damaged by someone trying to rip the door off its hinges and when the top half of the door hit the hay bale it stayed there and didn't bounce back. Very fun stage.

Madd Mike #8595 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 close can be fun we have used clay birds in a jail house door to represent shooting a lock, and breaking out of jail ya just have to be super super carefull when you design stages like that first timers doing something that close can sometimes get a tad bit flustered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, those are the birds. Last year at Eldorado we had one of those stands and a dump target for pistols. At the beep, take out five birds and put any remaining rounds on the dump. It was FUN!!!
