Filthy Lucre, 55674L Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 I was just looking through the shooters handbook and looking at categories. I'm going to try Classic Cowboy. I noticed that there is a Senior duelist, but for those who shoot BP there are no seniors listed. Any thoughts.
Mad Dog Jack, SASS #77862 Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 You're old(er), I'm not. I have seen Senior FC and FCD at various places though.
Gold Canyon Kid #43974 Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 I always thought at least some BP shooters breathed so many chemicals from the smoke that their minds just thought they were back in the 1960s regardless.
Jailhouse Jim, SASS #13104 Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 I refuse to get older or grow up. That's why I don't shoot age based categories even though I have met the minimum for some time now. Besides, those old duffers can shoot faster than me cause they have time to practice. BP for the long haul dammit!
Filthy Lucre, 55674L Posted June 28, 2014 Author Posted June 28, 2014 Hey! I resemble that remark! Me too.
guitar_slinger Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 Getting older is a requirement, growing up isn't. That's why I shoot flintlocks and, now, am getting into cowboy. I'll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up, not me.
Rye Miles #13621 Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 I refuse to get older!!! I shoot FCD or Pale Rider when available. I'm not or ever will push for a senior version of either of these categories. When I'm too old and feeble to handle full BP loads then and only then will I think about an age based category!! Rye
Trailboss (Santa) Dave Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 I shot Silver Senior Gunfighter at The Missouri State Shoot this last year. Won the State Championship in that class. The other guy was from Texas.
Warden Callaway Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 About nerd to set up stages with consideration for walkers an motorized wheelchairs. I've seen some shooters use golf carts to get to stages and canes with three feet to move about.
Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 Hi Filthy, Try this. Circle or check (whatever is appropriate on the form) Man, Senior, Frontier Cartridge or CC and see what happens. I've seen many non-SASS categories at larger matches when I did not see that specific combination on the application. So, I'm guessing this is what was done. It would help if you could talk others into doing the same as the club may not want to offer the category for one participant. Regards, Allie
Guest Hoss Carpenter, SASS Life 7843 Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 I have shot Classic Cowboy for about 7 years now and love it. However, at one of our local clubs some of us Old Farts shoot in a "made up" class called Elder Statesman Double Duelist! It is great fun too. We are old and slow! Cheers Hoss C.
Fingers McGee Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 I don't know about the rest of you; but, I'm only 39 years old. Got a long way ta go till I'm up with the rest of you. Fingers (That's my story and I'm sticking with it) McGee Member of the Jack Benny birthday club
Charlie Whiskers Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 I'm waiting for SASS to make Senior Buckeroo a category. Less recoil.

Regards, Allie There are a few in the Senior FCD and everyone in Frontiersman is over 60.
Mad Dog Jack, SASS #77862 Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 Will you shoot CC with BP? Seems like a waste to miss out on an opportunity.
Filthy Lucre, 55674L Posted June 29, 2014 Author Posted June 29, 2014 Will you shoot CC with BP? Seems like a waste to miss out on an opportunity. Of course. Cap n Ball
Mad Dog Jack, SASS #77862 Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 Didn't you buy a Parker hammer double awhile back?

The O'Meara Himself Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 Anybody who claims to be 39 but remembers Jack Benny is, um, untruthful. Himself
Filthy Lucre, 55674L Posted June 30, 2014 Author Posted June 30, 2014 Didn't you buy a Parker hammer double awhile back? Yup. It was my slowest day ever. Those hammers are thumb busters. I won my category.
Ramblin Gambler Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Anybody who claims to be 39 but remembers Jack Benny is, um, untruthful. Himself Not true, I'm 39 and remember watching jack benny and burns and allen and a few others from that era that I can't remember off the top of my head on nick at night (which later spun off into TVLand if I'm not mistaken).
Charlie Whiskers Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Not me...I tell everyone I'm 21 with 46 years of experience.
Marshal Phil DeGrave SASS #55202 Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Yup. It was my slowest day ever. Those hammers are thumb busters. I won my category. And who came in second? Clock on the wall and aches in my bones are the only reminders that I'm getting old. Filthy, you are a classic, shooting Cap and Ball in CC is a brilliant idea. I hope everything goes well for you. Say hi to everybody out there for us, we miss you all.
Jack Houston # 35508 Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 OLD SUCKS........had to stop shootin partly because both elbows don't work good enuff to shoot duelist anymore
