Nimble Fingers SASS# 25439 Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 Why Akron Indiana? Not being critical, going to school at St. Joe’s College off I65, have no idea where Akron is and wondered why there? Glad they are getting out of California though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howlin' Wolf Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Fantastic news. This is great SASS. Always looking to better our future of the sport, and it helps to have great support team local with CC Top and Deuce Stevens. Good things to come.. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rainmaker, SASS #11631 Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 I hope all works out with the move. Misty and Ruby are great folks and I wish the best for them. "Escaped" from the Midwest myself (Illinois) and spent a good deal of time out West (will go back someday) but have been in Georgia for a while now. I have no idea of the reasons, but I'm sure it makes sense to the folks involved. All my best Misty, Ruby and anyone else involved. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rye Miles #13621 Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Does it really matter where the SASS head quarters are since theres shoots all over the country?! Good luck to SASS in their new home. 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogmeat Dad, SASS #48563L Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 (edited) 11 hours ago, Tequila Shooter said: I’m kind of curious too on why Indiana? I will venture a guess and say that it was because it is more central in CONUS, close to the Paradise Pass crew, and lots of building space is being sold at a discount these days in the Midwest, places like Indiana. I'm glad SASS found a "permanent" home again. It bodes well for the long term of SASS. Heck, if I can make my schedule work out and make it to MBPGA, I may even do a drive by of the new HQ. (After reading Deuces comment, maybe I should rephrase that! ) Edited August 25 by Dogmeat Dad, SASS #48563L 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yul Lose Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 12 hours ago, Tequila Shooter said: I’m kind of curious too on why Indiana? Their old HQ location in New Mexico was fairly remote and with the reception that EOT got this year being in Indiana probably played into their decision making. Good luck SASS, Misty and crew. I think you made the right choice. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tex Jones, SASS 2263 Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Never having been to Indiana, other than passing through, I think the area around Warsaw and the range at Paradise Pass was very pleasant. Hopefully there will be some sort of annual shoot at Paradise Pass, something along the lines of a regional, taking into account the close location of the new SASS HQ. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pee Wee #15785 Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 (edited) Indiana is very gun friendly. They are going to have easy access to to large airports. About 2hours to Indianapolis and 2-10 hours to Chicogo, a real PIA some days to get to. Edited August 25 by Pee Wee #15785 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tequila Shooter Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 I agree with many that it’s a good move to get out of New Mexico. I was wondering why Indiana, but now that it was pointed out that it was close to Paradise Pass and (I didn’t know) that Indiana was gun friendly it’s going to be a good move. I hope they have a smooth transition and enjoy the new digs. I guess they’ll keep Duece Stevens busy with remodeling jobs 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Moving to a small dying town (population 1000 and going down) whose only attribute seems to be its proximity to where EOT 2021 was held. Makes you wonder if they are laying the groundwork to move EOT out of Arizona before the first EOT at the new location is even held. 5 2 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moving EOT from AZ before it’s even been held? Extremely speculative conspiracy theory negative nonsense. Misty Moonshine 22 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
