TG Summit Agenda

[Col. Riddles]

Thought you pards might be interested in seeing this, so you can express your views to your TG.

1. Change the SASS rule on the calibration of
knockdown targets. The Rule currently reads: To the
extent possible, reactive targets are set to fall when
squarely hit with a standard .38 Special 158 gr.
factory load. Should this be changed to change the
calibration to a fall when squarely hit with a
standard 32 H&R Magnum 90 gr. factory load OR should
there be no suggested calibration and it be left up to
the Match Director to live or die with?

2. Strengthen the wording, in the „Outlawed‰ section
of the SASS Shooters Handbook on page 49, on outlawed
shoes to include all types of athletic shoes, or
combat boots no matter the material they are
constructed and/or outlaw deep lug soles that are
visible from the side view of the shoe or boot.

3. Eliminate the purchases of score enhancing items
such as a „Free Miss‰, Dag-nabitt, Bonus, Re-shoot,
Do-over in all SASS Sanctioned State, Regional,
National or World Championships. The use of such items
has been abused at some matches.

4. Change the Classic Cowboy Category to require the
wearing of spurs with western rawls and chaps or
chinks. Some shooters in this category are in favor of
this change but it will reduce the size of a growing
category. This change will eliminate the Classic
Banker, the Classic Train Conductor and so on.

5. Allow the use of a Colt Lighting or clone in the
Classic Cowboy Category.

6. When a shooter cocks a firearm at the incorrect
time or place and is unable or it is unsafe to engage
the proper target, the shooter has to „dump‰ the round
safely down range. The current rule would be to give
the shooter a procedure and a miss. Since the
Territorial Governors have allowed a shooter to
correct a staging mistake under time without penalty
should we eliminate the „Double Jeopardy‰ for this
situation by allowing the shooter to correct their
error under time? That is to make the firearm safe and
reload at the proper position or time. (The RO
Committee will make a recommendation as how to resolve
the „Double Jeopardy.‰)

7. Revisit the Henry Big Boy. Should it be legal?

8. Revisit the US Firearms Omni Potent. Should it be
legal?

9. Should the Fenris Wolf Arms Single Shot Rifle be
legal for SASS Long range Rifle Matches? It is a
Browning High Wall Design.

10. Should the DunnLyon Single Shot Rifle be legal for
SASS Long range Rifle Matches? It is a Sharps action
design

11. Break Junior Category into two groups. Little
Buckaroos ages 10-12 and Juniors 13 ˆ16.

12. If the Junior category is divided into two
different categories should the use of 22 rim fire
pistols and rifles and the use of 410 shotguns be
approved for use in the Buckaroo Category.

I would like to have the TG consider a Handicap Class. I have severe spinal cord injury and am not able to be competitive because of travel time between stages. I love to shoot and won't stop but, I would like to compete on a fair playing field. Maybe in this class the shooters could be timed from the time we touch our gun to the time we set it down. I always have someone stage my guns for me for safety and I have to use forearm crutches to walk so it works out O.K.. Another thing that should be considered for this class would have to be the shotguns used. I will shoot the 12 gauge
but, the last shoot we had put me down for two days because of the recoil and the way it jars my back. I have tried 12,16,20 and, 410 gauge and the only gun I can shoot with out hurting myself is the 410.I am a lover of SxS shotguns and am lucky enough to own a 12 with rabbit ears and a 410 without.
I would be happy to get involved in the set up of this class and think it would just be the fair thing to do.
Thanks for letting me bend your ear,
Cant Dance
