Sedalia Dave Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 @snozzberries should get himself to a SASS match. We are even more friendly in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snozzberries Posted August 9, 2020 Author Share Posted August 9, 2020 I think the only thing in my area are these guys: http://www.rucascowboys.com/ (That website is horrible.) I've got my Marlin 1894, but it has a red-dot that I use. I have a Ruger Vaquero in 45lc, but it shoots about a foot low. I don't have an "old time" shotgun. I don't have the appropriate clothes. All my ammo is copper-plated, not lead bullets. I read instructions like this and just chuckle: https://smokeypointdesperados.org/pdfs/new-shooter-guide.html I sure do love .45lc and my lever actions. Plus I love shooting steel. Hopefully this thread and my pictures can help somebody else one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Gateway Kid This is pretty off-topic so maybe it should be in a thread of it's own. I chuckle when reading about the costumes and naming conventions. It reminds me of a cross between LARP and a Renaissance fair. I just like to shoot guns. I'm not interested in playing dress-up. It seems like a lot of people do enjoy all these things though, so to each their own. Whatever makes you happy! EDIT: Just saw this thread. I should probably delete my post before I get banned.

Like you said whatever makes you happy. I am pretty minimalist myself (age based shooter) and wear what I use for work clothes more or less Regards Gateway Kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
