Singin' Sue 71615 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 1 hour ago, Billy Boots, # 20282 LTG-Regulator said: It was not unusual not so long ago to have more than 20 on posse so if 12 stages and three rotations then 800+ is possible. Granted, those numbers can sure lead to long days of shooting, especially for that last rotation, if a bog-down takes place during the day. Broken targets, re-shoots, rain showers, etc can happen....not to mention hail storms I remember experiencing all of those above!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irish ike, SASS #43615 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 I believe the 500 capacity thing was based on parking, camping, stages etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griff Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Well... technically speaking, the geographic center of the continental US is in Lebanon, KS... Not Indiana, According to the National Geodetic Survey. If we include Alaska and Hawaii, it falls near Belle Fourche, SD. However, if we use the population center, it falls in Texas County, MO. No matter where the match is held, it benefits some, inconveniences others. It always more hurtful when it's "our" ox that gets gored. Looked at another way, SASS has always opened it's International and National Championships to any comer. From the neophyte shooter to the experienced repeat, champion. Other disciplines and sports require certain qualifications and standards be met before you can compete at that level. I doubt very seriously that I was ever one of the top five black powder shooters in the Nation... yet I finished in the top five a couple of times. Dare I suggest we keep our perspective a little more controlled. I'm going to fulfil a promise to two very special friends, and hopefully see some other competitors I haven't seen in a number of years, and see by the list, I'm going to be able to visit with several more very good, long time friends. Whether there are 500 attending or 1,000, I feel blessed to be going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
