Upinmaine Posted March 14, 2021 Posted March 14, 2021 Ok I am interested in getting into this and am really interested in the frontier cartridge category....that being said I see costuming guidelines for classic cowboy and b western but none for frontier cartridge. Could someone help clear this up for me?
Edward R S Canby, SASS#59971 Posted March 14, 2021 Posted March 14, 2021 There are no specific costume requirements for FC. However, I recommend dark colored shirts as BP smoke can soil your sleeves. See page 2 of the Shooters Handbook for general costuming requirements.

Could someone help clear this up for me? Sure. Because the ONLY catagories that REQUIRE certain dress code are Classic Cowboy and B Western. With that, in all other catagories, dress your desire as long as you do not wear any if the outlawed items in the handbook. Need to meet a 'smoke factor' (in otherwords, we gotta see smoke) And must use fixed sights. This is pretty normal for Shanley and I for FC. Think of what your alias represents... Dude, cowboy, gambler, townie, rancher? Dress from there, and have fun. 0220211141.mp4
Not Dead Ed Posted March 14, 2021 Posted March 14, 2021 Frontier Cartridge is a shooting, but not a costuming category. Pick a costume that suits you. Frontier Cartridge Category/Categories Frontier Cartridge can be subdivided to specific style (e.g.., Frontier Cartridge Duelist, Frontier Cartridge Gunfighter), by gender (e.g., Lady Frontier Cartridge Duelist, etc.) and further by Age (e.g., Senior Lady Frontier Cartridge Duelist, etc.) depending upon demand and sanctioning category mandates. Categories include: - Frontier Cartridge. - Frontier Cartridge Duelist. - Frontier Cartridge Gunfighter. Frontier Cartridge Rules: - Any main match fixed sight model revolver - Revolvers may be shot two handed or one handed (Duelist style) in Frontier Cartridge category but only one handed in Frontier Cartridge Duelist category. (See Duelist style description for parameters.) - If shooting Frontier Cartridge Gunfighter, only Gunfighter-style or Double Duelist style may be used. (See Gunfighter style description for parameters.) - Must use blackpowder in all loads (rifle, revolver, and shotgun) - Must use a side-by-side, single shot, or lever action shotgun in the main match stages. - Any SASS legal pistol caliber rifle is acceptable.
Clueless Bob Posted March 14, 2021 Posted March 14, 2021 "Need to meet a 'smoke factor' (in other words, we gotta see smoke)" what Singing Sue said. In short, if the spotters aren't coughing, choking, sneezing, or just plain complaining when your done shooting, then you need more smoke!!

Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted March 15, 2021 Posted March 15, 2021 Regardless of category... It is more important to look good than shoot good.

I use Queen size sheets from the thrift store!!! That way, if they ruin, they only cost $.50 and a little time.
CASS, Singing Hills Ranch Posted March 15, 2021 Posted March 15, 2021 Can't see stains if you shoot at night. Many different "costumes". From Appalachian Showdown 2020 night shoot side match.
Jabez Cowboy,SASS # 50129 Posted March 16, 2021 Posted March 16, 2021 My Leather Roping cuffs keep most of the black of the sleeves and my hat keeps the hot brass out of my shirt ... As for Smoke, full case loads of Goex 3f in .44 spl. , .38 Wcf. or .45 Colt causes folks to run for cover or the next bay ... Jabez Cowboy

Bailey Creek,5759 Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 As you have heard Frontier cartridge doesnt have any Costume rules. The clothing changed a lot over that time period. Pick a time. For instance after the Civil War. You mite wear part civilian clothing mixed with Military .

Dogmeat Dad, SASS #48563L Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 As I always say, You can only shoot the Frontier Cartridge Categories until your knees give out, then you have to switch to that heathen smokeless stuff.
The Rainmaker, SASS #11631 Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 Stevens Point, Wisconsin? Yer gonna have to wear a "Cheesehead" at least once. Lol Grew up in Illinois, can't resist. Have fun and make some smoke, would ya?
