Yusta B. 1,283 Posted February 5, 2017 Sitting here pondering the meaning of life & it occurred to me that over the passed 13 years I have been enjoying SASS shooting I have met & learned the aliases about 300-400 or so shooters, maybe more. More than in any other sport, organization, club, school, job or group I have been in in the last 74 years. That's just phenomenal to me - I'm not very much of a social person but I keep meeting shooters that are interested in what I do, what I shoot, where I've been, how long have I shot & a million other subjects. As the saying goes - " I've been to two Worlds Fairs & Disneyland and have never seen anything like it " . What a great group of people ( including Rye Miles , I might add ) :) :) 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StirrupTrouble 494 Posted February 5, 2017 I know exactly what you mean, Yusta. Most of the people I consider true friends I would not recognize in "civilian" clothes or without a cowboy hat 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smokin Gator SASS #29736 284 Posted February 5, 2017 As far as names go it's probably easier to remember shooters aliases then peoples normal first and last names. It is easy not to recognize someone when you are them away from a SASS match. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Griff 1,221 Posted February 5, 2017 I'd agree with you Yusta... and so publically state... but that might lead to swelled heads among my friends. Then again, they might already possess such, and it wouldn't matter, or they think so little of my opinion, that it wouldn't matter... Yep, that's probably it!

Attica Jack #23953 205 Posted February 5, 2017 Been shooting SASS for about 19 years, I can name about 10 shooters by their real names. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sedalia Dave 9,514 Posted February 5, 2017 Been shooting SASS for about 19 years, I can name about 10 shooters by their real names. That's 11 more than most of us. When I was in the Navy my mom was amazed at how many friends I had yet I didn't know both their first and last names. Many people at work I only knew by their last name and a lot of my drinking buddies I only knew by their first name or their nickname. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
