Brother King, SASS #69031 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Fact: you are free to shoot blackpowder in Classic Cowboy. Vega Bond shot Holy Crap at the Gunsmoke Midwest regionals on Morristown MN. From what I could see he was lit-up doing it, too. Good on ya, FT...welcome to the best category in all SASS.

Rio Brazos Kid Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Well, I'm firmly in the 1) Yes and 2) No column. Requiring Seniors to use guns other than their Blackhawks is going to cause a lot of unhappy shooters. It has already been established that there is no advantage in using adjustable sights, so why all the chatter. As has been stated, it will make it difficult for many of the older shooters on fixed incomes. Some will be forced unwillingly to change to a different category. And yes, some will simply quit. Not because they don't love the game, but because of a stupid rule. I'm of the opinion that adjustable sights shouldn't make any difference in any category. Period ! And certainly not in any Senior category, (60 Y/O or more). We have NOTHING to gain by making it harder on our senior members. The arguments against adjustable sights are just plain silly, and as far as I'm concerned, harmful to our game. RBK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desert Pete SASS #42168 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I like shooting CAS. I love shooting steel challenge. Why? Few rules. You just show up and shoot. I always finish middle of the pack but that's OK. There is no quibbling. IPSIC, USPSA, IDPA, SASS all are preoccupied with writing and rewriting the rules. A bunch of grumpy old men trying to relive their past glory by rewriting the rules because they aren't what they once were. I can say this because I am an old man. I saw the future many years ago at Ft. Bending while I was in OCS. The top skeet shooter was 12 years old! So, let's just shoot and have fun. Our kids will just sell those buckles on eBay or give them to Goodwill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Checotah Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I admit I didn't read all the responses. However, my view is that, as a Senior Gunfighter, I am first and foremost, a Gunfighter (albeit slow), and then subset as a Senior. If SGF is not offered, I will drop down to GF, not to Senior. Stay true to the style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
