The Outlaw Travis James Posted September 12, 2024 Posted September 12, 2024 (edited) For those who were shooting CAS back in the early 2000's, you know that The Last Stand was known as one of the best events in all of SASS. The Last Stand Committee has decided to reboot this epic match. We are at a different range and a few of the committee members are different. But the spirit of the The Last Stand remains. We are dedicated to making this one of the best events in all of SASS once again and we invite you to be a part of it. Come Join Us... Stay tuned to SASS Florida for the application, schedule, host hotel, and more info coming very soon! https://www.facebook.com/share/Q2UMs2BqYbxUgEaK/ Edited September 12, 2024 by The Outlaw Travis James 1 Quote
Captain Bill Burt Posted September 12, 2024 Posted September 12, 2024 I reserved an AirBnB about two minutes after I heard this match was coming back. Now the only question is whether it will be just me, or whether I can drag some other Georgia cowboys with me. 1 1 Quote
Captain Bill Burt Posted September 12, 2024 Posted September 12, 2024 And, of course, The Last Stand will be the kickoff for the 2025 South East Open Magnificent 7. https://southeastopenmagnificentseven.com/ 1 Quote

Willie Willie, If you look at the top, there are two check boxes for male and female. Whichever you check will determine if you are entered in to the open or ladies category you choose below that.

Scrub Oak Willie 53737 Posted September 13, 2024 Posted September 13, 2024 No argument . So you are saying if a woman is shooting in Grand Dame she should check off female Elder Statesmen on the application? Quote

The Outlaw Travis James Posted September 13, 2024 Author Posted September 13, 2024 With the announcement of The Last Stand as the 2025 Florida State Championship, I received innumerable questions regarding the Ides of March for 2025. I will answer them to the best of my ability here instead of replying to 50+ seperate messages and emails. The short answer is that there will be no Ides of March for 2025 and the easy answer as to why is range politics. I was not directly involved in the drama so I cannot speak to what actually transpired. The folks who were involved were able to work with the range and gun club board to save the monthly matches but the compromise was no Ides next year. We know how disappointing this may be to a lot of folks because of how well liked that match was. Just know that The Last Stand Committee is committed to making sure we have no drop-off in the fun factor of the Florida State Championship match. And we have assembled a very capable and creative team to put on a memorable match for all to enjoy. So in the famous words of Santa Fe River Stan: "Come join us."

The Outlaw Travis James Posted September 13, 2024 Author Posted September 13, 2024 Ok, we received an update from the campsite. Their phone has been down all day due to the storm. The calls were being transferred to an answering service. They should be back online now. When you call for the discount, ask for Kenneth or Deb.

Dogmeat Dad, SASS #48563L Posted September 14, 2024 Posted September 14, 2024 OTJ, As much as we will miss the Ides, we are really looking forward to this match. With SC State being the following weekend, Holli and I are looking at a 2 State Double Header over about 10 days of travel South of the Boarder! Hotels for both are booked, Can't Hardly Wait! It may have been buried in the Fine Print of the application, and not that it should effect Holli or I as our apps should be in the mail Monday AM, but I didn't see a limit on the head count at the match. Have you guys established that yet? I do understand that it depends a lot on schedule, single flight or two, etc, I was just curious if you guys had set a number yet. Really looking forward to our New Spring Fling and, if the world doesn't blow up before then, we will see you guys in January! Dogmeat & Holli 1 Quote

Do they have that just for controlling rowdies? Or do we sneak them in & out? It's hard to dress like a cowboy and not be noticed. Quote
