evil dogooder 1,023 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Do you wear your awards buckles in everyday life or just for sass? Personally i only wear the first one i ever earned that was a 5th place gf at state. Although that will change now with my regional win. I'm kinda fond of that one too. As for the rest they get displayed in my gun room but never really wear them. What does everyone else do? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
El Muerto Negro 43 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I do nor wear any buckle in every day life. In truth I don't typically wear belts. As for SASS I didn't put a buckle on until I won my state buckle. EMN Quote Link to post Share on other sites
El Hombre Sin Nombre 1,843 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I'll let you know once I finally win one. Don't hold your breath though. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Utah Bob #35998 16,875 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I won a buckle at Last Stand in Forida for FCD in '05 much to my sur[prise. I have worn it pretty much daily to keep my britiches up since then.II's the only one I ever got. It's pretty worn out now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Red Cent 453 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 On my shotgun belt. I strongly believe they are earned and should be worn proudly. That same year they gave statues instead of buckles. You can't wear/show off a statue. We got buckles also. Never under estimate a man's ego. Now, I never had much of an ego. Well...................

Yul Lose 6,688 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I have them mounted to my shotgun belts, but I wear a bandoleer now so they don't get shown off much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Red Cent 453 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I get on JM Brown for not wearing his. Hell, I would find somewhere to hang 5-6 National Championship titles and 5-6 World Championship titles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Double Tap Taylor 48 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I have one from NH State Championship that I wear some time like the Design. http://i1368.photobucket.com/albums/ag178/ljtfisherman/20150628_170023_zpsuyquunfo.jpg Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mud Marine,SASS#54686 Life 793 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I wear the first SASS BP buckle that I earned years ago when I turned 70. The rest are in my MRA, BPCR, CFD, etc display shelves. I have really nice display and I enjoy looking at them and they remind me how much fun I had. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Assassin 1,609 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I don't wear them everyday, a couple are on my gun belts. Gave my dad a couple and he wears them everyday and brags about his boy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sgt. John Campbell, SASS #58165 48 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I for sure don't wear mine, partially because that would involve actually getting one in the first place. And, unless nobody else shows up at the match, it's very doubtful that I will ever win one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hashknife Cowboy 530 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I mix em up with the horse buckles.......wear them on a regular basis except when shooting. I don't have a 1st Place yet, someday I'm a hoping.... But then again I wear a hat most all of the time..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tracker Jack Daniels,58780 198 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I wear a State Category buckle for dress that my wife bought from the SASS Merchantile for me. For work and everyday I wear one I won at Mississippi Fandango. On my shotgun belt I have my first Regional buckle from Gunsmoke. Just a shame to let pretty buckles sit and gather dust.

Buckaroo Bubba 857 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I wear our Tusco buckle from High Noon in 2015. Really proud of the things we have done as a club. Love representing Tusco. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Coroner 196 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I don't wear them everyday, a couple are on my gun belts. Gave my dad a couple and he wears them everyday and brags about his boy. That's a good idea. I'll give my Dad one. Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
evil dogooder 1,023 Posted January 8, 2017 Author Share Posted January 8, 2017 My son wears one of mine. My loaner belts have them on too. My wife used to wear some until she started shooting and won her own Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Frontier Lone Rider, SASS# 73063 246 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 (edited) In West Virginia winning at the state level just makes one eligible to purchase their own buckle. I have yet to purchase any of the six I have won, but if I do buy one, I will wear it on my shotgun belt.

Cypress Sun 3,305 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 That's a good idea. I'll give my Dad one. Dutch Hey Dutch that's a good idea........only reverse. Maybe my dad will give me one. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Red Cent 453 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Lone Rider, I have won three or four Senior and/or Silver Senior badges and I don't remember having to buy them. Man, do I miss going up there. The Singing Ranch stages will give you a work out. They wouldn't let me bring the golf cart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Two Shot Tinly SASS #39599 L ,TG 0 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 1. One buckle to hold up yer jeans. 2. Two buckles shows Humble Pride. 3. Three + buckles, You are Bragging. "TST" said so. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cowboy Rick, SASS #49739L 45 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 I wear my US Open FCGF buckle 'cause I like how it looks. The rest are on a length of leather hanging from a nail on the wall of my gun room. You can lap them and get quite a few on a 4' piece, just punch a hole every few inches. Better than collecting dust in a box. CR Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Billy Boots, # 20282 LTG-Regulator 846 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Yes. I have gotten lots of compliments on both series (new silver style as well as style such as in the pic posted by Red Cent)...and to some of Bar-3's really nice buckles. A usual bonus to compliments is the pleasure that often follows when I get to discuss SASS and the competition of Cowboy Action Shooting.. Note: I applaud Winter Range for their addition a few years ago of a special distinction to category champ in their winner series buckles.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 8,432 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 After wearing a suit and tie for over 40 years, I graduated back to jeans when I retired. Still slim enough not to need suspenders, I wear a belt with my First Place, Classic Cowboy buckle, almost every day, just to impress the girls!☺LOL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tombstone Tex 28 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 If I ever win one, I expect it will be the buckle for my gunbelt for a few matches, then who knows. I use slides for the shotgun so no shotgun belt to put one on....IF I ever win one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
