Nevada Jim Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Checking the Shooters Handbook posted on-line, 2016 version, I don't find aged based categories beyond Elder Statesman/Grand Dame (70+). I thought there were "new" categories for 75+ (Cattle Baron) & 80+ (Grand Patron) ? Some help finding a reference to these new categories would be a big help. Thx, Nevada Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those categories are not in the Handbook. You won't find Elders Statesman B Western either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rio Brazos Kid Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Those categories are being used at lots of shoots, even very large ones, but they are not as yet official SASS categories. One of the options that a shoot director has. RBK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevada Jim Posted April 18, 2017 Author Share Posted April 18, 2017 75+ (Cattle Baron) & 80+ (Grand Patron) are listed categories at End of Trail, Winter Range & Bordertown, so obviously there is interest in these categories. And I thought there had been some discussion/action at the recent TG meeting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I am only 50 and I am from Massachusetts. But I do shoot left handed. And of course, I am a Baptist. Genericaly there has been discussion in the past about what the Baptist Category should entail. Aside from the obvious no shooting on Sundays, I always felt that there would be a requirement that you had to carry a Scofied. But not neccesarily a Schofield. Or is that they other way around?

Totes Magoats Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I could shoot in a category with just me in it and still come in second place. Totes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yul Lose Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 You can't shoot in the baptist category if you use a Crown Royal bag for yer empty brass, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk James Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 I think SASS has all the age groups covered. All tough, with nowhere to hide. Look at the top 100 and the age groups are well represented. There is many outstanding gunfighters, black powder shooters and a duelist who is killing it. Great events at the National and World competitions!!!! Thanks to everyone for all the hard work.

Right........ to shoot in the Baptist category your gun cart has to have a place to hide the liquor Grandma used to hide hers behind the phonograph that we were not allowed to listen to unless of course it was Tennessee Ernie Ford or Jim Reeves "There Will Be Peace in the Valley" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
