Renegade Roger Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 I have just started shooting BP and having a blast. I have two Navy 51's and have thought of doing Frontiersman. I shoot FC in GF mode. The handbook says Frontiersman is two handed, Duelist or Double Duelist. Searching through the forum I've come across several mentions, and videos of people shooting GF. Is this just a local club category and banned in sanction matches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have some things to send your way for tuning...Hopefully you are not too busy...And snubbies do sound interesting...Pictures so sound good, but can we get some good looking cowboys in them...Cowgirls would be better...

J-BAR #18287 Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 One may compete in Gunfighter category using percussion revolvers. One may not shoot gunfighter style in Frontiersman category. One may use double duelist style in either Gunfighter or Frontiersman categories. ...unless of course the match is allowing additional nonSASS categories.... You gotta get the distinction between categories and styles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COAL CAR KID, SASS #15921 Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 I've been known to shoot FCGF with cap guns; when I sign up to do that I say "I'll be a little long on the Frontier and short of cartridges" For a real hoot; shoot Josey Wales with 2 sets of cap guns.
