Must be inexpensive, practical, worth giving, worth receiving. Probably need a hundred at most to last a year since our club is small. If the price w a s not too much could buy more.

Ivery Keys #11974 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 We use small rifle shaped pins we got at bulk rates from somewhere, but I can not remember where. Most in our club wear them on their hat... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fillmore Coffins, SASS #7884 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 For the Western Regional, my club got a bunch of shot glasses etched with "Clean Match" for those who "shot" clean. Fillmore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Meramac Kid Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 what about decals? the member could put them on their guncarts. I know a guy that could do them and do many not sure on a price though but it's a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Dave Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 For monthlies the clubs I shoot out don't give out anything for a clean match, just lists the clean shooters on the website with the scores. For annuals and above, I think something should be given out be it a pin, poker chip, shot glass, a ticket for a special drawing or whatever. Not everyone has a real chance for an award, but everyone has a chance at shooting clean. I have half a dozen clean matches, all monthlies, but closest I've gotten at an annual is 1 miss a couple of time including Eldorado this past weekend.

Cheyenne Ranger, 48747L Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 for our big annual we give out a buffalo pin in a bronze color similar to the ones at founders ranch http://www.stockpins.com/buffalo-1-lapel-pin.html?utm_source=buffalo-1-lapel-pin&utm_medium=shopping%2Bengine&utm_campaign=STOCKPINSFEED&gclid=CJOErLTbiroCFQFk7Aod3lAAkg for monthly matches we give out a wooden nickel--you get 5 and can redeem for registration fee to a match cr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Hi Dream Chaser, I like the idea of a small pin, etched shot glass...or something to keep that has some substance and meaning. I've cleaned many monthly matches and only one annual in 14 years. It was rather disappointing to receive, at the annual, a small bar of soap for a prize for something that was a big deal for me. I think they would have done better by not giving anything. Even the club where I am an officer gives pins for a clean monthly match... I think Hangtown Vigilance Committee's bronze noose-shaped pins are really cute. California Rangers have a pin that is the same as their badge only about one-inch across.

Doc Tombstone, SASS #49630 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Our club gives out a nickel plated 45 bullet with "RMR (our club) clean match" etched on it with a leather thong attached in the primer hole. They are a highly valued item and anyone who has a few dangling off their cart, or attached to their hat has some bragging rights. Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redleg Reilly, SASS #46372 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 We give out an enamel pin that is shaped like a squirrel (it's reference an infamous set of targets we have) that says "Clean Match" across the squirrel.. They are handed out at all matches, monthly and up. They have become a big deal in the club. We also have a matching pin that is black instead of the white clean match pin for those individuals who have the complete opposite of a clean match, ie, a complete disaster of a match. Not quite as popular as the clean match pins but always a crowd pleaser for those who don't win it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StirrupTrouble Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I love the idea of a pin or some other little trinket to remember the day. A sticker might be nice, but unlike a pin, over time that would fade and not last, but a pin could be easily kept in a small box or be pinned to a hat or shooting box, or put on display somewhere. It also might remind that shooter of your match the next year when they are planning their trips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolan Kraps, SASS # 24084 Life Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I had custom ribbons printed up that said "Clean Match" for prizes. Some of our local clubs give poker chips. I like Poker chips better. I drill holes in them and attach them to my gun cart or ammo box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assassin Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I recommend giving Morgan silver dollars to clean match winners. Shooters will return for every match and they will really make a point to shoot clean. Also raise your match fees accordingly. Or just give out little cheap pins and don't change entry fees.

What is recommended...certificates, small pins, or what? There are thousands of cheap lapel pins in stock forms that would work for Cowboy. I have seen boots, stagecoach, armadillos, long horns, hats, saddles etc. Tandy and other similar suppliers have inexpensive ($13 for 50 pieces) Conchos with slots, pin back or screws. These come in a huge variety of shapes and prices. One local club gives a small badge with a five point star. It is plain and attached to a business card with “Clean Match” printed on it. Another club hands out a lapel pin in the shape of a revolver. A Google search for Conchos or lapel pins will get you thousands of examples in every price range. Generic is cheap, custom cost$.

irish ike, SASS #43615 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 We give out a lapel pin in the shape of the state, Nevada, that says clean match with our clubs initials. HPD. Shooters glue them to their carts, wear them on their suspenders or hats. Of course we have a standing rule that one oh crap stage cancels out all of the Clean Matches. It's not enforced.

Church Key, SASS # 33713 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Most of the clubs near me (WV, PA, MD) hand out clean match tokens.

Abe E.S. Corpus SASS #87667 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Our club purchased clean match coins that are very nice. They are metal with enamel color on the front. They have a five dollar "value" so you can turn 'em back in to pay part of your entry fee. There's a photo of the coin on the website www.greenvillegunfighters.com.

Slick McClade Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Blue bayou brass located in houston , tx will make you any kind of pin you can dream up and in any enamel color fill also. These cost about .89 each after the casting fee which is inexpensive . Hope this can help you some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamond S Doug Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Our club gives out clean match awards for monthly shoots.
