Long Hunter SASS #20389L Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Also had a new shooter years ago at the warmup match before EOT do it on the first stage with the second revolver while I was the RO. Yep, his first match was EOT. This may be against the grain here, but I let the shooter finish, handed off the timer, walked him to the unloading table and had a visit. I did not DQ him and let his time stand on the stage. Never had another problem with him. Question is.....was it his fault or ours. IMHO, it was ours. We knew he was new and no one including me took the time to visit with him before the first stage. Personally, I felt responsible. This was 19 years ago and he's still shooting. Please don't run off a new shooter due to our lack of engagement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 From all the stories above, it isn't all that uncommon. I recall nearly 20 years ago at a local match, a brand new shooter showed up. He was all decked out, nice guns and leather, looked like Tombstone down to the frock coat. He was not on my posse, but I'm told he spun the gun(s) into the holsters on the first stage and was sternly spoken to. I do not know how it was handled, but I know we never saw him again. Too bad.

Cholla Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 There is a great deal of misunderstanding about the sport. When I mention I do CAS almost everyone thinks I do fast draw or trick shooting. I draw as fast as I can and the trick is to actually hit the target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 The question was why do people think we are re-enactors. The answer is because we dress up in "ancient" costumes. The guys in the photo are wearing what most people think is contemporary garb, not a costume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokin Gator SASS #29736 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 When I've mentioned SASS to people, by far most assume it's fast draw. A couple have thought it's probably more like Civil war reenacting. At modern matches most shooters are aware of the cowboy action shooters. Also at the other action matches about one third to maybe one half of the shooters wear the jerseys with logos. Most just wear t shirts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
