Guest Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I too had the pleasure of shooting with Mr. Davis several times, along with sharing cigars and some good whisky after matches were over. A fine man, who had a great passion for the sport he helped invent. Godspeed, and my condolences to his family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogmeat Dad, SASS #48563L Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 The true measure of a man is not his wealth or fame, but the number of lives that he touches. U.S.Grant touched the lives of more than 100,000 SASS Members and many, many, more who also play this game in one form or other. His legacy, SASS, Cowboy Action Shooting, EMF, will continue to touch the lives of future generations to come. Prayers Up for his family and friends. He will be dearly missed.

Chance Ramsay Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Chancey Lady and I got to talk to him some at the last convention in Branson. I have the first edition, 1956, EM gun catalog and was joking with him about the value as it is pictured with him in the Hall of Fame. He is going to be greatly missed by many.

Frederick Jackson Turner Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Every Single Person on this Wire - and thousand more - owe a debt of gratitude to Boyd. Our world would be a lot smaller, without SASS. That's a mighty long shadow to cast. This is the end of an era. Respect, and thanks, #2.

Fillmore Coffins, SASS #7884 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 One of my favorite stories about the General U.S. Grant took place many years ago at a John Wayne Shoot-Out. A young fella, who was a customer at my gun store, was making small talk with an older gentleman. The young fella asked, "So, how long have you been doing this?" The older gentleman asked, "What's your SASS number son?" The young fella responded something like 11,000 or so. Boyd said, "Mine's number 2." The young fella sheepishly chuckled at himself when recounting the story. Fillmore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
