Cave Creek Kid Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 · Hidden by Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217, December 19, 2016 - vendor bashing Hidden by Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217, December 19, 2016 - vendor bashing Another fella that I would print out his every post... Coyote Cap. I have a notebook full of useful information on the '97 from him. I shot with him on a number of occasions, and a better competitor would be difficult to find. Cap is still collecting money for gun work, however he is putting it towards medical bills instead of actually completing the work. There are several cowboys out money right now. Link to comment

I developed a palsy in my hands and can't hold a revolver steady any longer. It's apparently genetic. So I've taken to cycling. Mostly Mountain Bike these days. Hope everyone is well. You're missed.

Rex M Rugers #6621 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Hey , I'm glad someone resurrected this thread. And around Easter time , too. I read all the way through it again. Another pard that used to post many years ago was Wistful McClintock , he was a serious western movie fan. Earlier (when the thread first started) someone mentioned Tex Boden. I shoot with him almost every month at our local matches at Comanche Trail Shootists (Midland,TX). A great pard , fun to shoot with. Used to see posts by Col. Nathan Riddles , but never met him. He had quit shooting before I moved to this area , close to 9 years ago now. Happy Easter to all , Rex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I really missed the Convention this year. I always got together with friends from near and far that I never see otherwise. I have great memories of dinners every year with Deacon, Hazel, Loco Poco Lobo, Nawlins, a few or several of the bunch from Phoenix, and always Larson. I loved hanging out with The Redhead too. Branson and San Antonio (my only trip to the Alamo) were neat as there were people who rarely made it to Las Vegas. I loved my time at the US Open and EOT. I got to meet so many people I only knew from the Wire. At EOT, I even got to shoot with some of the Dooly Gang. You know that was fun. Such wonderful memories! Happy trails! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yul Lose Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 (edited) I haven't been on the wire long enough to know if Hondo was ever on it, but I posseed up with him at Cajon last week and what a great pard to have on your posse. He's a real low SASS # also and he shoots 1st generation SAA's and original Winchester 73 all in 38-40 along with a hammered Remington SxS. Very interesting fellow to visit with.

Bisley Joe... never did learn nothin. He's kinda like a sex-crazed beagle. Be on this site... man's... gotta get real... humble-like... and be nice. (Justa suggestion for any Phantom-fans out there). BTW... 2's... you are the fastest big-guy (deceivingly fast)... or anybody else, for that matters... in them videos that I ever seen. Gosh... "WHITE-LIGHTNIN'"!! You sure are somethin', big guy. ts Howdy pard, Got steered here by someone and got a good laugh. Still, you know, it isn't very polite to try and demean someone when they're not around to defend themselves. Not very much in the Cowboy Spirit, not to mention not being real "humble-like" or "nice". Plus it seems the "sex-crazed beagle" types are those keyboard commandos who can't' handle a different point of view without flaming like flaming flamers and calling people silly names, while engaging in mob-tactics, without ever learning how to engage in an intelligent discussion-even disagreement. But I guess that's just how some folks are... It's all good though. SASS is made up of a VAST majority of absolutely wonderful individuals. Maybe someday we will shoot at the same event and even shake hands. yippy ki yay... Edited June 15, 2019 by Bisley Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I still and will miss all of the people posted! As I said I learned a lot. Unfortunately Big Ed passed on. I meant in outside of Tombstone and ordered two “Duke” style holsters for my son’s Colt Nebraska Commemoratives and then in Old Tucson Studios where he had opened a shop! I consider myself a big man at 6’1” but I had to look up to Big Ed! I remember the rest in your post from way past too. For those of you missing Phantom, he and I spar occasionally here on the Wire. He is back unless I got the wrong Phantom we do miss all of their wisdom! I learned a lot from the lot of them!

Bisley Joe Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I have my opinions about SASS, and they're based on why I joined and the reasons SASS used to list on their description. Namely "to avoid the technical gamesmanship that has ruined other shooting sports". People can disagree or agree, but there's no need to be nasty and try to shut people up, especially when those doing it are jabbering about "freedom" and "the cowboy way" out of the other side of their mouths. I have found the people in SASS to be a group of the nicest people ever. I've been away because life got in the way, and I hope to get involved a lot soon as possible. I hope we, and others here, can shoot together and have a smoke or a drink someday, because life is just too damned short to waste it on petty hatred over opinions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
