Woodchuck Willy 114613 Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 Howdy folks, New SASS shooter here. I noticed my new SASS friend Scarlet Darlin' is now on the Jedi gunfighter council. It got me thinking: What exactly is a Jedi gunfighter? How do you become one? What are the requirements. Specifically: 1. Do you have to shoot frontier cartridge? 2. Can you shoot smokeless or even frontiersman cap and ball? 3. Any specific caliber sizes? Dress? 4. As a new shooter, should I start off straight away as a gunfighter style or shoot two handed first? Thank you for all your help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Bill Burt Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 You have to keep your eye on those Jedi's. They can be a handful, particularly when they're playing with their lightsabers. 2 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen some brand new shooters start with gunfighter, but I'd recommend duelist or double duelist first and then try gunfighter. Don't worry at all about speed at first, figure out everything else that's going on. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 Thanks PWB. JEDI GF recognition ain't 'given' to anyone......... its earned. There are 4 Council members, of which any can choose someone to the JEDI ranks: Scarlett Darlin, Jed I Knight, Billy the Avenger (keeper of the Light Saber), and Widder. There are 2 basic 'cast in stone' requirements: RO certified and shooting GF for atleast a year. But there are many intangibles that enhance a person to earn that recognition. And for the most part, a recommendation from a JEDI GF helps (sponsor). JEDI GFer's have their own Pin and there are also JEDI belt buckles available. The BIG intangible: is the person an asset to SASS and their local club(s). There are 'Master JEDI', which are the hardest to achieve. ALL 4 Council members MUST approve 'Master'. There are "JEDI GF of the Year". A majority of the Council must approve this recognition. Best regards. ..........Widder (JEDI GF #21 and Council Member) 6 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Kane Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 I read this about "the Jedi mind trick": "An experienced Jedi can use the Force to implant a suggestion in the minds of those they encounter, encouraging them to comply with the Jedi's wishes." So, how does this work with spotters and TOs? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the spotter or the TO is a JEDI, the shooter incurring the infraction ain't got a chance with any influence or mind control..... ..........Widder 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I subtly influence the spotters when I miss by quietly muttering "crap" and "shoot" and the occasional "darn" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your costuming was first class, very impressive!! The Cavalier Cowboys would be honored to host you up here in VA, if you enjoyed the NC State match you would also enjoy the VA State match. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlett Posted November 5 Share Posted November 5 @Will Kane @Widder, SASS #59054 the only Jedi Mind trick I have successfully used is to have an AD hit the target! No tricks for the spotters or TO! @Ciderbarrel you should DEFINITELY take @Bingo Montana up on the Virginia match offer! It’s a lot of fun! Big hugs!
