When I first got into CAS, SASS had a membership of around 4000. I don't know what it is now, 10X ? I shot Judge's Court 1990 something, in Hot Springs, Arkansas, and set up a stage, lots of work, lots of fun. But I realized I liked shoot'n, but I did not care for the competition. Might be because I can't hit the broad side of the barn, even if I'm locked inside. Now I go to occasional local shoots. Love the smell, smoke, and fire of BP. Still dress up, mainly go just to shoot the 'Bull'. The interest is still there, but the get-up-an-go is lacking. I have a major investment in arm's, and will continue to shoot, but only for the fun. This, of course, is a personal little piece of the story.
