The Original Lumpy Gritz 7,009 Posted December 8, 2013 When you use you platform as EIC to label a group of shooters as cheaters you need to be prepared to defend yourself to them where ever and when ever they come into contact with you. It is mean and small minded to just say " I wrote what I wrote" then walk away. "Cheaters" , please show you source of info. for this remark. LG Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tracker Jack Daniels,58780 198 Posted December 8, 2013 Was an editorial several years ago in the CC. Tex was trying to say that anyone who worked to put on a major annual match should not be allowed to shoot that match. If they did shoot the match they were cheating. I sent a letter to CC in opposition to this, no reply and not published. Approached Tex at night at shoot and got the result cited. Glad that he is good to you, my experience says different. As a result my opinion of Tex. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nevada Skye, SASS #54791 2 Posted December 8, 2013 Wow, you really had to go off topic here to back up your remarks. "He was TRYING to say"??? Like I said, seems like your attitude is the problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tracker Jack Daniels,58780 198 Posted December 8, 2013 Sorry Lumpy, different subject but in my humble opinion Tex is headed the same direction with this. He does not return phone calls and self addressed stamped envelopes are not returned this time either. Do you expect Tex to publish a letter in opposition to him on this either?

Boon Doggle 22 Posted December 8, 2013 I think that we all agree that the WB owns SASS. Well, let's face it, Tex owns the CC. And, he is going to use it as he sees fit to forward his agenda. If you don't like it, don't read it. This is a lot like what is going on in the White House. And, we should all be a lot more concerned about that rather than what kind of pants Tex thinks we should ware. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bad Hand 2 Posted December 8, 2013 The biggest problem here is Tex's attitude. I am glad that Tex would talk with Deuce, I have not had the same kind of luck. When I approached Tex at a shoot and wanted to discuss is stance on match directors shooting their own matches he just walked away. I don't see this as being any different given his "it's my way or the highway" stance. He does not answer letters and does not publish letters with a view opposed to him. He needs to go join his buddies in NCOWS, they share his attitude. Again, someone who has no knowledge of NCOWS refers to them in a negative manner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Original Lumpy Gritz 7,009 Posted December 8, 2013 Again, someone who has no knowledge of NCOWS refers to them in a negative manner. I did not refer to NCOWS in the negative. Never have, never will GOT THAT My reference was to their period correctness, that is impressive. Who are you to tell me I have "no knowledge" of NCOWS?

There are a few good and reasonable NCOWS members, but by far and away the majority I have had to deal with thought just like TEX, "my way or the highway".

irish ike, SASS #43615 884 Posted December 8, 2013 So for now we "think" this is a dead issue because the TG's didn't act upon it. Remember the Wild Bunch has in the past added rules clarification or new rules without the TG's voting. Like the Winchester 93/97. They own this sport. We as members can do several things, continue voicing our opinion on the web thinking we represent the majority of the membership of SASS and the WB will take heed. Or we can really show how we feel. Have each club pole the members and seek out support of leaving the rules in place. Then send a letter to SASS/Tex that simply says the 79 members of XXXX SASS affiliated club have voted. As a club we choose to ignore any rule that would exclude jeans, denim, Wranglers, Levi's etc in any of the SASS categories. We believe the current dress code reflects both a historical and Hollywood perception of the western way. EOT and maybe Winter range might have to enforce a change but that's not where the majority of us enjoy this sport. Ike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheyenne Culpepper 32827 951 Posted December 8, 2013 the jeans issue can be compared to the "cone of safety". two of the absolute ideas EVER brought up since I've been playing cowboy! dressing better? yes, throw out jeans, no,.. we moved on from the cone of safety, which I took a lot of heat for not supporting it while on the ROC, but I was right!!!!, and we'll move on from here!
