Frederick Jackson Turner Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Positive coverage in a major American journal! http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887323899704578583810263245172.html Cheers, FJT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward R S Canby, SASS#59971 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Thanks for posting! The article left me wondering what Sage Chick's "wrong loads" were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederick Jackson Turner Posted July 9, 2013 Author Share Posted July 9, 2013 The knock downs for the top Gun Shoot-off were a bit stiff, which is not at all inappropriate. A few folks got hits that failed to knock them down. Always carry a "Trouble Box" for such circumstances. Cheers, FJT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoss Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Nice positive article.Didnt make us look like a bunch of kooks running around playing with guns. I'm glad they got a purty girl for the picture instead of one of us fat old guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother King, SASS #69031 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I was on the posse with Sage Chick and the reporter was focused on the ladies. No doubt that was the right angle for this story! Hats tipped to Panhandle Cowgirl, Sage Chick, Holy Terror, Fowl Lady and Rowdy Bishop for a great job interviewing and composing themselves as the champions they are! They made us all look good.

Rye Miles #13621 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I shoot with Sage Chick and her family on a regular basis at our local shoots, the whole family is a #1 Class act! WSJ couldn't have picked a better bunch of reps for our sport. Rye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yul Lose Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I'm passing it around to a bunch of anti gun lefties today at lunch, we'll see what they say. To anyone else I've shown it to they were very positive and even expressed a desire to try it out. Great article!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowdy Bishop, SASS #48453 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 The "wrong loads" Sage Chick was using in the shoot off were AA feather-lite shotgun shells. She shot one the shotgun knock-downs 3 times and it never did go down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingSnake Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Nice positive article.Didnt make us look like a bunch of kooks running around playing with guns. I'm glad they got a purty girl for the picture instead of one of us fat old guys! That would be "SASS KICKER" in the photo. Not only a purty young lady, but one of the nicest - fastest - straightest shooters you ever want to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailrider #896 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I recall (more years ago than I care to think about), the WSJ did an article on a SASS shoot in Durango, Colorado. Again, coverage was great, albeit there was no Internet website for computer geeks to look at. It was on the front page of the Journal, photo in black & white!

Sage Chick, SASS #48454 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 The "wrong loads" Sage Chick was using in the shoot off were AA feather-lite shotgun shells. She shot one the shotgun knock-downs 3 times and it never did go down. Although it is highly likely I at least partially missed it.......wouldn't be the first time......... Glad our sport is getting some good coverage in the media! The more, the better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madd Mike #8595 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 perhaps cowboy action shooters :: under the umbrellA of SASS perhaps they just might want to take the time to thank the wall street J for their actions email - snail mail - phone call etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mud Marine,SASS#54686 Life Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 The WSJ is the only honest print publication in the USA! :-( I attribute that to both it is for investment bankers and other financial types that would never allow editorializing in the news like the NY Times and, also, to the fact that many Dartmouth College aluni and alumna, former Dartmouth Review staffers are ensconsed in their HQ! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Shane, SASS #40660 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 WSJ has done a few positive articles on CAS before this. Thats true. Years and years ago when the Durango Kid was in the Wild Bunch and did their marketing he got the WSJ to do an article on SASS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ringer Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Great Publicity for the sport, Savage Sam returned home to Australia and we can not even get the local paper to report on him. You certainly lead the way again we will just follow along slowly!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
