None of my business or anyone else what they sell it for. They've always had my back and I'll always have theirs. I dug most of the holes with my tractor for the split rail fence and the loading/unloading tables. Have a lot of good memories with Hipshot, Chisler and Coyote Calhoun at the start of Founders Ranch. The owners of the ranch built a game we can all enjoy or complain about. My choice, the glass is half full, not empty. If there was a way to turn the clock back, I would do it all again. And dang it, I miss my friend Coyote Calhoun. SASS is in good hands with Misty and she also has my full support. You did lots of work out there Jim and I know the loss gives you a little sadness. I have some good memories of times working at FR with you, CC, Chis ,and Hipshot. I remember cutting those wheels out for the train. Yea, the circle did not turn out perfect and if anyone looked close a few wheels might look like the train had a flat. Seeing the Ranch grow was a good thing. Miss Ann and I saw it before berms were even completed and then the town grew with your store and others. All very nice. And the beautiful chapel. Miss it for sure, as well as CC, and Chis. And, I don't get to see and visit with you and Hipshot enough. Hope to see you at Battle at Adobe Walls.
Mud Marine,SASS#54686 Life Posted April 1, 2022 Posted April 1, 2022 I putty Founders Ranch platinum badge in my odds and ends box! The museum? Hall of fame, etc recognitions all are also in there. I could afford them and knew, as an investment banker, that I was putting the cash in the founders pockets, but I loved and still love cowboy action shooting. After all, I got a free lunch at EOT for a few years plus #1 is a Marine!!!
Lone Spur Jake SASS #7728 Posted April 1, 2022 Posted April 1, 2022 Unless there are two Ken Amorosano's in this world, Chisler has been the Editorial Director of True West magazine for quite a few years.

T-Square Posted April 2, 2022 Posted April 2, 2022 This thread is pretty awesome - full of intrigue, mystery, folk lore, insinuations, and mischaracterized historical facts. I'm pretty new to the game (3 years), I've heard most of the lies and some of the truths, and I differ to the Legends on this thread, , but offer the following: 1. It would be great if SASS would 'publish' the official history of SASS. (not a one paragraph marketing-speak, but a 500 page full color tell-all autobiography) 2. Long Hunter - you are an idol to many of us. Your original videos have sparked many into the game. I thought you were a ghost, I am so glad you are here !! 3. MIsty has commented on this thread - so there is proof she does exist and she does read The Wire. This is cause for celebration, and for many of you to behave !

Mister Badly Posted April 2, 2022 Posted April 2, 2022 I think SASS is in good hands with Misty and the board. I personally am not curious about the details of SASS history but I know many on here lived it and like to share. With all the media our shooters and clubs are creating to share with the public I think the sport will survive and thrive.

I understand that principle as it relates to things like negotiating with Hitler then Putin and such. The morphing of a business or sport is a bit different as the decision maker/s have that information and are the only people who can act directly on it.

Lone Spur Jake SASS #7728 Posted April 3, 2022 Posted April 3, 2022 Correct me if I am wrong. Misty Moonshine "bought" SASS only? Is that correct? If so, then who owns Founders Ranch? Is it the former Wild Bunch members? Inquiring minds would like to know.

The WB are all getting up there in years and estate planning is probably a top priority.
Texas Jack Black Posted April 3, 2022 Posted April 3, 2022 Over 3 million for 480 acres of what? Is there water there? What can the land be used for?
Pee Wee #15785 Posted April 3, 2022 Posted April 3, 2022 Shot my first SASS match around 1992-3 but didn't belong to SASS. I wish the Wild Bunch good luck in getting their asking price. It is going to be a hard markiting place as very few people or companies will be looking for something like that. It is not in the best venue place to have the traffic to keep it going without an organization backing it.
