Widder, SASS #59054 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 There is a thread on the Wire about your clubs efforts to help shooters improve. I didn't want to hi-jack that thread so I thought I would just ask this question: Who would you want to take CAS lessons from? Personally, I would attend classes given by Deuce. And I would attend classes given by Shamrock Sadie. These 2 active Pards know their stuff and often give classes at big matches. I know it would be very beneficial. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calico Mary Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 I would say Shamrock Sadie as well, but I'd be waaay too intimidated....nothing against her, I know she's a great GF and have heard she's an excellent teacher, which is why I'd be intimidated..... any middle of the pack GFs out there giving classes, sign me up please!

Gateway Kid SASS# 70038 Life Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 I am beginning my Wild Bunch participation so I would look forward to learning the '97 from you. I would like to learn how Sante Fe River Stan or Smokestack run a rifle like they do. I have watched Cobra Cat do some amazing things with his pistols, just to fast for me to see what he is doing. Several like Slick McClade, Deuce, and Oklahoma Dee do some awesome work with a SxS that I could use to upgrade my game.

Doc Shapiro Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 There are a ton a great options. Techniques aren’t hard to learn. Learning to shoot fast is also within scope for the vast majority. But my choice may be a little different. I’d opt for a lesson from Brian Enos. What goes on between the ears is critical. That’s where I’d want a lesson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edward R S Canby, SASS#59971 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I like to take classes from many teachers. Every class I've taken has given me an insight I did not get from others. I still remember Longhunter telling me I needed to shoot my SxS faster. I tried and found he was right.

Now mary you know I've been trying to get you to come to gunsmoke for years... there just happens to be a gf class that goes on there. Not sure if I'm middle of the pack or not. I never really cared where I place. I just like to have fun. I've learned from the best as well as those that are not a big named shooter. I'd answer your question a little differently and say the only one I wouldn't take a class from is someone who claims to know it all. Clearly they are delusional.

CodyMaverick Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I am not so much interested in a one time class as I would like to have folks to practice with that are also wanting to improve their skills. When Stogie started coming out on Tuesdays to practice, we both got a lot better very quickly. I usually practice alone and I often find that what started out as a serious effort to improve my skills morphed in to a wide open plinking spree with a lot of lead downrange but not much improving going on. (always fun though which is important also) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Shapiro Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Hey Smokestack! I’d love a practice day with you. I think we’d both learn a lot, and it would be a ton of fun. I’ve learned from so many that I couldn’t begin to list them all. There’s something you can learn from almost everyone. Learning is a life long pursuit.

Scarlett Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Shamrock Sadie is an intense competitor no question however, she’s a good teacher. she’s my friend and I shoot GF as well...I’m frequently second place... her desire to help lady shooters is genuine. ..when she puts together Doily Gang clinics, she gets a lot of top tier ladies to help her - I would forget folks so I’m not gonna try to name them. I’m always busy vending/doing business when the clinics are going on but I get some tips from her “off the range”. I like to take tips tips from whomever I can - my posse mates.... Hugs!

Deuce Stevens SASS#55996 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I was fortunate to have some mentors along the way. Each of them Taught me different things. Fireball taught me fundamentals and how to be a better reloader and how to take care of my guns and gear, he also taught me how to play within the "spirit of the game". Longhunter was a really good influence and he always took the time to answer and questions or just shoot the breeze for a minute, the way he played and competed is something I've tried to mimic as much as I can. Over the years I've also been very fortunate to count a couple of really good shooters that I compete with as friends. Santa Fe River Stan has been a extremely positive influence and a great friend, he's helped me with my mental game and we bounce a lot of ideas off each other, wish we got to shoot together more often. It's really impossible to know everything, and I'm convinced that there is no one way to do things. Take chunks of knowledge when you can, modify it and make it work for you. The techniques used in this game are as varied as the targets and stages we shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three Gun Cole Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 WidderMaker, I studied under Deuce Stevens awhile back thinking he could help me with pistol and rifle speed. Was happy to get help with the shotgun. Think of this for a moment, A right handed double barrel shooter helped me figured out what I was doing wrong as a left handed 97 shooter. Deuce is a great asset to cowboy action shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Painted Mohawk SASS 77785 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 yep undoubtably there are some great teachers of cowboy out there...but i figure by watching , picking brains & personal training a person can obtain good results, [ well for many of us not as good as the elite or 'freak shooters' ]so many shooters out there to pick from to get what you want ! Be a champion in your own mind.....The older you get -the better you were Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tucker McNeely Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 +1 to Smokestack: I keep an open mind when my friends give me pointers. It is very hard to change your game on the range. You have to remember what they told you and apply it at practice to get the muscle memory and let your mind see it work before you can be fast and furious. I kicked myself for a long time not taking golf lessons when I used to golf a lot. So I applied this lesson to SASS. I took at class at Gunsmoke this year. I recommend signing up for Deuce Stevens and Cowboy Carty’s class. You’ll gain more speed from that class than what you would get from the newest speed gadget.
