Blue Eyed Drifter Posted October 15, 2023 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rip Snorter Posted October 16, 2023 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some name that sorta signifies your dress requirements, etc......... Maybe even 'Saturday Morning Hero' group.

Blackwater 53393 Posted October 17, 2023 Share 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.
