Sixgun Seamus Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Happy Birthday to SASS and a great big thanks to Misty and all of the staff. I am a relative newbie in SASS having joined in 2012. My only regret is that I didn't find this 25 years before that. Ya get to dress like a cowboy and shoot guns - it don't get no better. In those years my wife and I have traveled, shot together and met a whole group of new friends. Thanks SASS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Ruger Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 As one of the "Newbes" I congratulate the SASS organization for an excellent idea. I only wished I knew more about this sport when I was stationed in Tucson Arizona 30 years ago, I would have joined then instead of waiting 25 years. Hope to meet up with more of you fine folks eventually at Winter Range or EOT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mud Marine,SASS#54686 Life Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I didn't get into SASS until I shot with the Good Guys Posse in Sharon and The Bad Guys Posse in Elkhorn, Wisconsin about 11 or 12 years ago!!! I shot in Beloit, Bristol and Oconomowoc until I retired and moved home to Idaho. Luckily, I found El Buscaderos near my home in Eastport. We started our local Border Marauders and followed up with matches in Alberta, British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, Wyoming and Montana. For all of its warts, blemishes and scars, SASS has been a lot of fun for me. One of my favourite EOTs was the 25th Anniversary. I almost drowned in mud at EOT before that. I hope the 30th is also a spectacular match. As an octogenarian, its important to have each one be more awesome because it could be my last!!! :-) My sons are Life Members and my grandchildren are members so I have a vested interest in having SASS make its 40th Anniversary. I sure would like to be around for that one. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StirrupTrouble Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) Thanks to SASS for all they have done. I have loved this sport since I first found it, and most of my friends I would not have if it were not for cowboy shooting. I will continue to do my small part to grow my club and another one I am helping out, and will keep trying to spread the work to keep the sport going Edited January 31, 2017 by StirrupTrouble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
