I thought I might post an opinion on Zoot Suits. I read through the posts, and I'm glad there are people who are want to be involved in this form of shooting. I greatly respect Marshall Halloway, he and I have been friends since the old days of the list; there is not a finer man on the planet. But, I don't have a clue as to why this new form of shooting should have a home here, or why it's liked to CAS at all. We dress up and shoot guns, wow, what a concept. What's next, Eskimo Canoe Shooting? I am not even a supporter of the Wild Bunch concept, as picked up CAS because I was fed up with IPSC and the 1911s and wanted to use single action revolvers. I can see having a WB side match from time to time, but if I have to be on a posse with guys and gals shooting 1911s, I will pick up my marbles and find a new game. I'm also, and have been since around 1994, a vociferous opponent of the mouse fart loads, checkered grips and the short stroke modifications to the '66s and '73s when they finally showed up. CAS was a good game years ago until people who wanted to win at any cost managed to get a fingernail under the door; it's been a steady ration of horse apples since. If folks want to shoot Zoot, fine. This is the Marshall's board, and he wants to give it a home here, that's fine by me. I'd kill an entire zip code if they messed with him.
But, I won't visit here again, and won't be taking up Zoot Shooting, or Eskimo Canoe Shooting.
