Blackwater 53393 Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 This past Friday, at Ponderosa Pines, while participating in The Black Gold Shootout, Cactus Red and Uncle Ethan were inducted into the ranks of the Jedi Gunfighters. On Saturday, we added Missouri Lefty, our Gunfighter World Champion and a fine young man, to our ranks as well!! Somewhere near thirty Jedi were in attendance to welcome our new brothers.

Creeker, SASS #43022 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 An ever growing and imminently worthy group. I was honored years ago to be accepted as a Jedi - and then honored again as Jedi of the year. The Jedi title is recognition not solely of skill; but of the shooters effort, dedication and willingness to give of theirself to fellow shooters and to the game itself. I have been infinitely blessed by my affiliation, interactions and friendships within the Jedi community. I hope every one of these new Jedi are able to enjoy the same opportunities that being a Jedi has presented to me. Welcome fellow Jedi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its 'perception' because nowadays, the 'Sponsors' of a new JEDI (Sponsors are mostly present JEDI's who nominate another GF) prefer to keep their 'nominee' pending until a larger match is available to make the JEDI presentation. As in the case of the recent group I listed above, some of those had been pending a short while and one of them was originally going to be recognized later this year but the Sponsor requested permission to make the recognition at Black Gold. Sometimes, and I should say often, some recognition of new JEDI's are kept secret and pending for up to 6 months. If you look at our website, Jedi #291 is 'Pending' at this time. Sometimes, those 'Pending' new JEDI's will accumulate and be recognized all in the same weekend. As of this time, we are barely under 300 JEDI. For the most part, I can say its a list of recognition of Pards who have contributed to SASS/CAS in various means, along with excercising a 'reasonable' ability to shoot GF safely. Hope this info helps answer your question. Keep em smoking! ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We often host close to 25-30% of the shooters being some sort of Gunfighters at Tusco at our monthly matches. Just seems like the Gunfighter category has become very popular lately. Could just be because I pay more attention to it since I switched to GF a handful of years ago.. Make sense though.. shooting Gunfighter is the most fun!!!

Widder, SASS #59054 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Hey Bubba. Honestly, I have no doubt that some shooters have joined the GF ranks with the goal of being a future JEDI. A lot of shooters have indeed switched because of the FUN factor and the challenges shooting GF impose. As for "challenged GFer's", the OUTLAW GFer's have taken it to a much higher challenge when they shoot their pistols from the hip. Although I don't shoot in that manner, I must admit I think its probably the most challenging manner to shoot. It would kinda be an oxymoron called: Outlaw Jedi. Some of those Outlaw GFer's really possess 'The Force'. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackwater 53393 Posted July 25, 2019 Author Share Posted July 25, 2019 Thanks to Scarlett and Hellbender for the photos!! As Widder said, some have perhaps begun to shoot gunfighter for the possible recognition, others for the challenge, still others just for the fun of it. I myself began shooting Frontier Cartridge Gunfighter to support those who sought to elevate it to a recognized SASS category. Several of them were close friends and invited me to join them. I still pull both pistols on occasion, 'cause it's fun and because it lets me make double the smoke, quicker and louder!! Although my right hand has become more disabled of late, I plan to come back from time to time with both pistols blazing, probably from the hip and with a grin on my face. I'm proud to have been chosen as a Jedi. I'm in truly elite company!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
