Marshal Chance Morgun Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 The last match of the year is our "Open Range" shoot. We have a Cat called "Free Grazer." If you shot one duelist, one double duelist, one gun fighter, one outlaw, one two handed, and one Josey Wales ( optional), you are a Free Grazer. About 1/3 of the shooters do it each year. This is only a once a year thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is only a once a year thing. That's close to "All Around Cowboy" which we've had around here a time or two. I would like to see it again with 1 stage duelist, 1 stage gunfighter, 1 stage outlaw, and 1 stage traditional, the balance however you choose. Also 1 stage hammered double, 1 stage double, 1 stage 97, 1 stage 87, the balance however you choose. Let the shooter choose which stage gets engaged with which shooting style and with which guns as long as the minimums are met. Tough to score and you would need four shotguns, but perhaps fun to compete in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cholla Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Since our club has so many NCOWS shooters we have a "Working Cowboy" class that uses one pistol and one rifle. Our NCOWS club has an "Indian Fighter" category that uses five shots from a single shot rifle (Sharps, Trapdoor, etc..), two percussion revolvers, and a shotgun, all using BP or subs.

Rye Miles #13621 Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Funny story.............a pard of mine Johnny Shiloh wrote down "Old Fart Duelist" at Tusco when he turned 60. Johnny almost always wins his category or at least comes in second. When the awards were given, Senior Duelist came up and there was no Johnny Shiloh mentioned. He had a very puzzled look on his face, after all he shot good and also cleaned the match. The very last category mentioned was "Old Fart Duelist"!!! Johnny was #1 Split Rail (The match director) said he would recognize any category you write down! Too much fun!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Shapiro Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 The Sloughhouse Irregulars have an "Open" category. This means you can shoot any shooting style on any stage. So gunfighter one stage, traditional one stage, duelist one stage, etc. Just have to follow the category rules for whichever one you're shooting.

I don’t understand how/why the number of categories influences how long a match takes. A large number of categories can certainly make for a long awards ceremony, but isn’t the amount of time on the shooting line determined by the number of shooters and posse size? What am I missing? You’re not missing anything. Some folks will find things to complain about even if there is no real problems, only imagined potential ones.

Phantom The thought had crossed my mind. I shoot at five diffetent clubs, and each of them allows these non sass categories if folks want. In each of these clubs, there’s zero difference in finish time if someone shoots one of these categories or not. The only thing I have noticed in matches that do occasionally run long is the hot weather and how it affects the pace of work being done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waimea Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 I believe there ARE some odd Outlaws. Some may even say "WAIMEA is an odd Outlaw". (They'd be wrong, of course). But I don't think the whole category is odd. Waimea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shortening a match from six to five stages because they’re running basically another match after your match is not the same as a few folks running a non sass category during a match. It sounds to me a lot more like a scheduling conflict than non sass categories slowing down a sass sanctioned match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
