Fillmore Coffins, SASS #7884 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I participate in another social media site where folks post pictures and videos. I happened to catch a video recently that featured a top gun shoot-out at an annual match. I was surprised to see one of the participants wearing a t-shirt with what appeared to be a company logo. I know stuck out here on the West Coast, we miss some of the nuances around the country. Are the clothing requirements being loosened? Fillmore PS, I shoot at some clubs where it gets in the 100's during the summer months and I am aware of "Island Shoots" that occur occasionally.

Gunner Gatlin, SASS 10274L Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 ....haven't seen anything like that in these parts...of course I am not the most active shooter these days, but at my last few matches all were dressed the part in what is allowed.

Beartrap SASS#57175 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 My experience is that the best shooters only care about wining and spend little time on clothing or the cowboy way. most of them wear the same outfit at every shoot. Sorry, my friend, but you are dead wrong! While the "best shooters" may not always be dressed to the 9's or might be in the habit of wearing their favorite outfit more than you would prefer, they do in fact exemplify the Cowboy Way much more often than the average shooter. I'd respectfully suggest you get a little more experience before making such comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Springfield Slim SASS #24733 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Some of the FAST shooters tend to not be as into the dressing up part as I and some others are. Not so much at my home club but at some others I have been to in the last 10 years, But it has been my experience that the TOP shooters are some of the most helpful people and tend to follow the "cowboy way" better than most. Most of these FAST shooters would love to become TOP shooters. Maybe by then they will hone their attitude a bit and become more team players.

Black Diamond Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Let me clarify. I am a member of 4 clubs We have some nice and respectful to shooters here and they really put a lot in the club. because he's such an asset to SASS I will name him. Mica McGuire. but we have some who show up just in time to shoot and leaves the minute it's over and never helps clean up and they hold state championships. They yell to be relieved and are generally a prima donas. there are a couple of other champions who are arrogant and prima donnas that I was told to stay away from by people and sure enough they are real asses. 99% of all the other cow folk are great people. But that being said, 10% of the people cause 90% of the problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazarus Longshot, SASS #44254 Life Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 You denigrated an entire class of shooters...many of whom I consider friends. No names needed when you generalize as you did. Consider that your "truth" might just be a reflection of your OWN attititude. I am by no means a top (or even fast) shooter. But I have shot with many of the top names in this sport. I have very rarely seen a "TOP SHOOTER" who did not exemplify the cowboy way. This includes World, National, and State Champions. I have seen "wannabe" " "top shooters" who were the exact opposite, and most likely because of their attitudes, will never be a TOP SHOOTER. I fully support Palewolf's comments. You've painted a pretty broad brush across some of the greatest folks around, and additionally slammed a gentleman whom I consider a friend, Palewolf Brunelle. You might want to do as he suggested, and step away from the keyboard. You're digging yourself a hole and pulling the dirt in on top of yourself.
