Frederick Jackson Turner Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Un-freaking-BELIEVABLE!!!! Whistlin’ Will is an incredible shooter, no doubt. But to take a stick to the Best shooters in the US and the World shooting BLACK POWDER…. Just amazing!!!! Well earned, one of the most signal achievements in SASS history, and you couldn’t imagine a nicer young man, or a better ambassador for the sport of cowboy action shooting.

Buck Garrett Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Well said FJT. I shot warm up with him and his dad last year. They are the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaze Kinkaid, SASS #253 Life/Reg Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 WOW what a feat!! He came through Tombstone just before the main event to show some friends the town, and he dropped by to say "HI". I wished him well and boy did he come thru! A super young man, hope he does well in the future, both at the range and his future endeavors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarlett Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 A very nice young man indeed! I met him while needing someone a bit taller than I to help me cut down my banner in the main tent. He certainly had better and more important things to do but put down his VERY HEAVY trophy to help me. I greatly appreciated his help and am super impressed by his shooting. I didn’t realize until I read this post that he shot BP! Well done!!! Big hugs! Scarlett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabez Cowboy,SASS # 50129 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 I might be mistaken but I do not believe he was Shooting Holy Black ... But he is and has been a Fantastic envoy for this game for years, I have known him since he was running around with revolvers with bright orange bands around the Muzzles .... Shouting Bang ....

Razorback Red Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Had a chance to meet and talk with him at dinner on Saturday night. Great young man and a heck of a shooter.

Ol Number4 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Yes to a true Champion. Damascus Jon!!!! Several years ago he told me he would shoot BP until he won the big one, and he just did. Commitment and stamina and, of course, youth will get you a long way toward any goal. Jon has it all. BTW YES! it is all BP and has been as long as I have shot with, and against, him over these past few years. Ol' #4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe LaFives #5481 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 His BP was very smoky but he didn't seem to notice. The folks on the line did. I love to watch him shoot. When I grow up I want to be just like him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Hombre Sin Nombre Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 I really hate it when people shoot black powder and win matches like this. It severely takes away one of my excuses for not shooting well. Now I need to come up with something else. Seriously, though, as someone that has shot BP exclusively for the last 4 or 5 years, I am beyond impressed. That is a remarkable feat and all praise is well deserved. I hope I get to shoot with this young man one day so he can teach me how to see and shoot through the smoke like it isn't even there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackjack Zak Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Congratulations to All Shooters, and to all those who won their categories and their titles! Special congratulations to Holy Terror, Damascus Jon and to Whistlin Will from Canada. You are all exemplary competitors!!! As you know, Range is a "National Championship", and as such only a US shooter can win the title of "National" Champion. However to honor Whistlin Will's top finish, Winter Range will be designing and ordering a special buckle for him to be proud of, honoring his "Overall Champion" finish.

I'm not worried- he can't shoot Elder Statesman another 50years. Lol Fine young man indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
