Long Hunter SASS #20389L Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Several other topics have started me thinking. Dangerous. I want to to say thank you to the original SASS Founders for this game. They have given me thousands of hours of enjoyment which I can never repay. The foresight you had at the beginning to start this game has in my opinion, been under appreciated. You started something that will never go away. It has taught a lot of people including myself what the cowboy way is all about. Bottom line, it's about respecting you fellow human beings opinion, tipping your hat to the ladies and never disparage a person behind his back. Never say anything about anyone you wouldn't say to their face. We all have opinions, right or wrong. Without dialog and open honest communication, there will never be progress. There is also a time when all of us need to accept the majority opinion or the owners decision and shut the hell up. Tough love is still love. We're now in a new era with a new owner. Please give them your support. Long Hunter 36 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ “Reb” Wainwright 110206 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 As a new shooter, who also has the greatest pleasure of shooting with my 10yo buckaroo, I am deeply thankful not only for the founders but also for each and every one of you cowboys and cowgirls who invented, innovated and promoted this game over the years. We have one year under our gunbelts and with God’s amazing grace, many more to come. With Gratitude, JJ & Buddy Wainwright 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May the new era bring us just a part of that enjoyment, learning, and satisfaction in this game we love so much. I cherish many moments in CAS, especially from Founders Ranch, but friends made along the way whether at Norco, FR, Paradise Pass, Ben Avery, OKC, or where-ever have made a wonderful "ride". May there be more to appreciate further "down the trail". BB (Ol Dad) 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Fire, SASS 10064 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Long Hunter, well stated. I have over the years participated in several shooting sports but none compare to SASS. I have hundreds of friends across the area who I only know by an alias name. Those friends are always willing to help out in times of need. I have over the years been able to shoot with several of the original wild bunch members and always enjoyed their company and historical account of the association. Shot with Tex at 2021 EOT and he still is a strong competitor but never has lost his sense of humor or the ability to laugh at himself. Fine example of we all should be. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Possum Skinner, SASS#60697 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Yes. I believe we all owe them a debt of gratitude. And I think it’s in good hands with Misty. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy's creek Dan, SASS 73697 Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Thanks for the post Longhunter. I couldn't agree more!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex Jones, SASS 2263 Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 (edited) Sometimes I get more from thinking about the past shoots and folks I met than going to shoots today. Still a bunch of old timers around and newbies that are the soul of the game. Never would have met them if SASS didn't exist. I had the opportunity to meet some of the Wild Bunch and still shoot with a couple of them. Good folks.
