All jokes aside, the World Shooting Complex is a fabulous facility. There are twelve dedicated bays to shoot CAS with high berms and easy access. They also have hundreds of camping sites and bath and shower facilities. I’ve been there many times and STILL haven’t seen the whole place! The only negative at this point is a lack of hotel/motel facilities really close by. It’s far more centrally located, geographically, and there are numerous permanent on site facilities that can be used for related activities!! And you will be closer to your recliner after the ER visit I hear your points joking aside but weather end of Feb early March is well unpredictable I am sure its nicer than here but travel and event may take a back seat to weather . That being said Illinois legally isnt quite as Firearm friendly as AZ and that seems to change monthly . I am really surprised somewhere in Texas hasnt made it home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Spur Jake SASS #7728 Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 And since we are having fun, how about changing an old rule. A shooter can have possibly 20 misses, and maybe a safety, and maybe also a procedural all on the same stage, but the shooter can't have 2 or 3 procedurals on a stage. Shooter shoots revolvers, rifle, and shotgun, that has a sequence, and can only get 1 procedural. Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the same reason that a seven shot Ruger Single Six in .32 is illegal but a seven shot Commie Nagant converted from double action to single action is legal.

We’re not real cowboys so does it really matter? I’d venture to say that very few real modern cowboys shoot SASS anyway so your point is moot! I would bet that there are probably more SASS shooters EAST of the Mississippi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackwater 53393 Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Actually, my home state of Tennessee produces more beef than fifteen states west of the Big Muddy. This includes Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Wyoming, Colorado, and California! Kentucky and Florida produce more beef than Tennessee!! Many of my friends raise cattle and at one time, I did too! Herded, roped, branded, ear tagged, doctored, castrated, and butchered ‘em as well birthed and bottle fed the ornery critters! All of that in Tennessee and Kentucky! The cattle industry moved from east to west with the settlers, just as improvements in breed and breeding, management, and health moved east to west. Most of the old west cowboys that weren’t Native American, black, or of Mexican heritage came west as well!! All of this from about 1865 ‘til the turn of the century!

And Florida supplied most of the beef used by the Confederate Army during the Civil War. Historically, the beef industry has been very important to the Florida economy. North Florida, along with Lower Alabama and South GA, were also big in the timber industry in the 19th century. The live oak used to build the USS Constitution came from islands off the south GA coast. John Wesley Hardin was caught in north Florida where he'd been hiding out in the lumber camps. Bear in mind that, even today, the difference between northern Florida and LA or South GA is mostly just a line on a map (and what the exact shade of red or orange and blue is on the college baseball caps).

Years ago, I had a old fart dressed up like Roy Rogers approach me prior to a local match declare that I couldn't shoot the then new Classic Cowboy category- because I was wearing a straw hat from Sunbody. (Come to find out, he was a TG at another club and was quite full of hisself.) You shoulda seen the look on his face when I told him that it was convenient since I'd signed up to shoot Duelist- just like I always do- instead of a costume category.
