Blue Eyed Drifter Posted October 15, 2023 Posted October 15, 2023 Gunfighters can become Jedi ! And Classic Cowboy / Cowgirl can become Shootist of the year. Isn't it about time B Western shooter have some type of award honors as well?
Phantom, SASS #54973 Posted October 16, 2023 Posted October 16, 2023 Absolutely!!!! How's about Prairie Phairy Phantastico?!
Rip Snorter Posted October 16, 2023 Posted October 16, 2023 Thing is, SASS began with a guy watching TV and playing with his guns, just like when were kids, and starting the game. All the rest came after. Sometimes, positive change requires walking back.

Those are unique to the matches that award them, such as Comin’ Atcha. Can’t be a Jedi Gunfighter unless you attend T-Bone’s match. I’m sponsoring a buckle for the top Classic Cowboy 1860 Henry Shooter at the 2024 Kansas State Championship & Classic Cowboy Showdown in Chapman, KS. I made up that sub-category and nobody can win it unless they come to Chapman. (See Major Art Tillery’s thread below.) The Major invented the Classic Cowboy Showdown and has turned it into annual national event. If you’d like to put on a special award/event for B-Western, go for it.

I'm a Jedi Gunfighter. I was Jedi Gunfighter of the year at one point. Know for a fact I have never attended T-Bones match. So unless someone made an incredible mistake - the two are not interdependent.

Apparently I was misinformed. Regardless, it’s still not a SASS category. It took someone to create the award and build it into something with national recognition, which is my point. The OP can do the same.
Dilli GaHoot Galoot Posted October 16, 2023 Posted October 16, 2023 Perfect day to ask this and in honor of one of the great B Western actors, I vote for . . .

All it takes is one person with the initiative to get the ball rolling... Build up a committee, develop the criteria for recognition... And go for it!

Some name that sorta signifies your dress requirements, etc......... Maybe even 'Saturday Morning Hero' group. Just a thought. ..........Widder Matinee Idol Roy & Hoppy King / Queen of Bling Rhinestone Rider Slim Pickens

Blackwater 53393 Posted October 17, 2023 Posted October 17, 2023 Matinee Hero would be a great title to bestow on those who are exemplary B Western shooters! Establish your criteria for selection and single out those who represent the best of your category! Widder can fill you in on how to select your commitee and the nuances of the selection process.

Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted October 17, 2023 Posted October 17, 2023 We have the Oscars. Maybe just call it the Calhoun after the dearly departed Coyote Calhoun. The guy that came up with B Western.
SHOOTIN FOX Posted October 18, 2023 Posted October 18, 2023 With the risk of having this post locked, we have shooters that do not shoot the category posting derogatory comments about those that do. I’ll stop here. Fox

We have 350 pounders referring to themselves as "Slim" We own dogs named after guns, lawmen, criminals and old west towns. We drive around with our aliases on vanity plates.
