Dogmeat Dad, SASS #48563L Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 If you are talking about El Rey/La Reina (85+), then yes I saw that. I think that has been an "unofficial" category for a while at some matches, but this cements it in concrete. Another 20 years and I will qualify. (If the next 20 are like the last 10, I'll never make it! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abe E.S. Corpus SASS #87667 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Let's get the spelling right: "El Rey" (the King) and "La Reina" (the Queen). "El Ray" would be "a drop of golden sun"; I don't think that was what was intended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imis Twohofon,SASS # 46646 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 My father, Blue Boy sass 46773 was the oldest active shooter in SASS for about 12 years. He is no longer able to shoot so his job has been taken over by my uncle, Deadwood Miner. I am told longevity runs in my family. I have also been told that it sometimes skips a generation. Imis and I have the foot issue at times at 73 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone Spur Jake SASS #7728 Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 I remember years ago when SASS announced the new category of Elder Statesman for shooters 70 years old and older and most folks said "who the heck is still going to be shooting CAS when they are 70 years old?"
