Abe E.S. Corpus SASS #87667 Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 “Category”, please. Highly doubtful this will be adopted as an official SASS category. Some clubs have created an unofficial category allowing the use of rimfire firearms by all ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheyenne Ranger, 48747L Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Our club, TRR, allows this from 'back in the day.' Plus, we primers as rare as hummingbird teeth we are looking at ways to let our pards have the most fun possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redleg Reilly, SASS #46372 Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Our club is doing the same, allowing .22s so folks who have run out of match ammo can still shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branchwater Jack SASS #88854 Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 do a search and you will find several other posts within the past month or so asking the same thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singin' Sue 71615 Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I seriously doubt this will become a 'new catagory' ... But think it is fantastic to allow for monthly match at this time. Think it is okay for use to get new members in...also just for monthlies, untill they get set up with required firearms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rye Miles #13621 Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 At Firelands Peacemakers we are going to allow .22’s. They will be scored separately from the main match shooters. We’re also talking about a “mixed “ class for those who may not have 2 pistols and a rifle in 22. For instance, you could shoot one pistol in 22 and the other in whatever. Anything to let shooters come out and have some fun despite the ammo/primers problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamond Jake Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I just bought a Ruger Wrangler this morning because of ammo shortage. Hopefully I will only have to use my 22 for practicing. PS: later this afternoon, while looking for 22LR for the Wrangler, I found a brick of Large Pistol primers for a not-too-bad price of $50. That will be good for 8 more monthly matches at Green River! (Or 10 at Wartrace) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Bascomb, SASS # 47,494 Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Our club, Robber's Roost Vigilantes, has for years offered the IWIW22A category (I wish I was 22 again). Same rules as for buckaroos; KD's need only be hit, needn't go down. That said, we have KD's which can be calibrated such that they WILL go down with a .22 hit. Any SASS legal shotgun allowed. I tried it ouit last Saturday and learned that: 1- It ISN'T as fast as using your center fire main-match guns; 2- Lever/trigger timing is very different; 3- It's still fun, and you can still MISS......
