Reuben McCoy Rankin # 34239 50 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I've read the rules several times. I think I know the answer but want to be sure, Can some one shooting Senior or elder statesman or cattle baron shoot one handed in a stage or 2? I know he can't shoot gun fighter. but if he wanted to shoot a stage duelist? 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Age based categories carry the following guidelines: - May use any main match revolver. - Revolvers may be shot in any SASS legal shooting style – EXCEPT Gunfighter. ...

Mud Marine,SASS#54686 Life 793 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 I have not yet become reconciled to the unfairness of banning gunfighters from age based categories. Decades ago, there was a lot of bad feeling about gunfighters. I guess that's residual effect of the gun control mentality. Now that EOT offers El Rey (over 85), I'd sure like to enter it in the last Founders Ranch match. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Is it because gunfighter is a separate category already, or is there some other reason? Asking for a friend Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The draw back is that you cannot shoot two handed (squaw grip) when signed up for a Gunfighter Category. If your statement is meant to read "Why is Gunfighter Style banned from strictly age based categories" that is a different question.

Mud Marine,SASS#54686 Life 793 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Why is Gunfighter style banned from Gunfighter style? I have no problem at many club matches but EOT and some state championships are another matter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
