I'm from New England. I consider Washington DC to be a city in the "Southwest." It's south of the Mason Dixon line and west of the Hudson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some folks that didn't win overall painted their badges... But the tradition was for only overall winners. So. Cal. Had a lot of category winners... None of them painted their badges...I sure didn't.

Phantom Well... by the time you started... there WERE a LOT more categories. Just so we're clear, I'm talking about the shooter's EOT entrant badge, not the official "SASS" badge. So it obviously started falling by the wayside somewhere after 1991. But... originally, black badges were issued by the WB to previous category & overall winners. Weren't required to paint yer own. Black badge, white lettering... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do know that I "Grew Up" with a bunch of "low badge" holders...multi-time World Champions (Overall) and countless Category World Champs...oh, and National Champs too. Yep...was fortunate enough to start shooting in So. Cal where it ALL started...so Griff, come on...leave the "By the time you started" outta this...my experiences include all the wonderful conversations I had with shooters that were "There". The "Black SASS Badges" as far back as I know were painted black by the Overall Winners of EOT. Who cares about an entry badge...??? Hell, I've got all sorts of different color Shooter Badges...and if you won a category and painted your badge black...you heard about it...and rightly so!!

Griff Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Phantom, I know all of the above. But... if your friends can't harass you, who can? I'd only heard the question "...why do some folks have black badges..." in reference to the entry badges at EOT. Ergo, my answer. If some overall winners painted their SASS badge black... Ok... Frankly, this is the first I've heard of this "practice". I shot with Tex last week, but he was wearing his blue "Patriot" badge. As we both know, I'll never be in any danger of deciding whether to paint my SASS badge black... besides, I rather like the gold mine is...
