Bhill Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 As I read the rules, search old threads and watch videos etc. In videos I see two handed shooting and being referred to as traditional. As I read the rules I see duelist/ double duelist and gunfighter. The only place I see about two handed is in black powder. Am I missing something?

Tyrel Cody Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Well you can go edit it now and put in whatever you want; which in my opinion it should be "Guest" until you join S.A.S.S. Oh forgot, Welcome to the Wire. If you haven't been to any matches; get yourself to a couple and don't buy anything until you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Main Match is Friday and Saturday(some of the vendors shoot). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we went to watch our first match, I was taken aback by people shooting a single action using two hands. I'd never seen such a thing unless someone was shooting a heavy hunting handgun from a rest. Then I had a hard time associating shooting with two hands associated with the word "traditional". I'm sure someone will come up with some obscure reference to someone shooting a single action with two hands in the old west but it would be extremely rare.

Come to the Nov. 7th match at Wartrace and ask lots of questions, get there early and I'm sure some of the folks will be happy for you to handle their guns. Hopefully I'll be released to drive before the Nov. 21 match and I'd be happy to let you shoot my guns prior to the match. Welcome to the most fun you can have with your clothes on!!

"Traditional" is something invented by SASS. Initially, "Traditional" & "Modern" referred to the revolver sights (fixed vs. adjustable). "Duelist" category was added in 1993. This is an addendum to the SHB sent out as an insert in the "Cowboy Chronicle": Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Type of sights and style of holding/shooting the revolver have long been conflated in Cowboy action. So, we have ended up with titles of shooting styles and categories that don't quite make sense to a true Historian of the Old West. Wild Bunch, on the other hand. got the shooting style, competition category, and sights/pistol features neatly separated and logical. IMHO. Good luck, GJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
