Sounds like you know how to operate those top breaks Jack. I'm in a similar boat here in eastern NC. At 66 I've grown away from SASS and SAs but would get involved with the GAF but there's nothing organized here in NC. I'm lucky that my club is a WASA/SASS club so I can shoot my DAs and 1911 in our monthly matches. We do alot of non sass stuff but our cowboys and girls can always compete. NCOWS groups are even farther away from me. I've put together a bunch of matches over the years and like you, like 'em smaller and or farther out. A suggestion, ask your match director if he wants a month off and create your own match the way you want it. Run it by the MD for a safety check and see what happens. I'll tell you now you won't please everybody but I'm sure there are guys like us who would like a little challenge for a change. I've done The Wizard Of Oz, Inglorious Bastards, The Professionals and The Wild Bunch to name a few of my match creations. I used a colt 1911.22 conversion unit or a .22 vaquero revolver (5rds)(shooters choice) as a 3rd handgun in my WB match. You had to carry Dorothys ruby slipper during each stage for the Oz shoot. I'll tell you what I used to say to the guys I worked with whenever they started to bitch about what the last shift didn't do and they had to finish, "you gotta play the hand you're dealt."
