Matthew Duncan Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Quandary - which badge to wear? 20 plus years ago it was Cutter’s Raiders (particularly Midnite Desporado and Thorny Rose) that got the Son and I involved with Cowboy Action shooting. Been wearing a Cutter’s Raiders badge (number 13) on my gun belt ever since. Since Cutter’s Raiders was dissolved a few years back, past time for me to update? Should I replace the Cutter’s Raiders badge with the my current clubs badge, Wolff’s Rowdy Rangers or the SASS Life badge that the mail is delivering Saturday? And no I will not wear mutable badges.

Chuckwagon McTaggart Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Wear the new badge and somehow display the old badge on your gun cart? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Coffinmaker Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Eliminate the confusion. Go with the "SASS Life" badge. Or the Badge that started you on your journey. Or the club you now shoot with. There, isn't that simple!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Springfield Slim SASS #24733 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I switch off, wearing the badge for the club I am shooting at. If not a member then just my SASS badge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waxahachie Kid #17017 L Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Just the plain ole SASS life badge, that you originally were issued. That says it all. Any embellishments beyond that, YOU add....such as: integrity, honor, genuine, friendly, helpful, kind, patient, humble, understanding, selfless, soft spoken...a servant-leader.

But we do need SASS membership to have "entry to SASS sanctioned shooting events." And to post items for sale in the classifieds. But we don't actually need badges as far as what I could find in the rules... Which is odd, since my Mernickle Starter Rig came with a badge holder, so I would think it is required... But I could not find it in the rules. So do we need the stinkin' badge? I broke the clasp on mine trying to get it into the badge holder. So I need membership, but do I need the badge? But for the OP, I do like the first one. The second one looks too modern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya Big Tree Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Use the two extras badges as cuff links. OR Have Johnny Rebel make you a couple extra badge holders and you can swap them out between stages. Man that's one sharp lookin' club badge though!

They are not retroactive back to past anniversary dates, I asked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waxahachie Kid #17017 L Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 I presume they will mail you an anniversary pin, when you hit a five year milestone? If they started the anniversary pin in the last year or so, I may get one on my 25th year, that being in 2023. Interesting. We shall see...or not. The only sure things are death and taxes.
