How'd you get started?

I've been looking at the SASS website a little trying to find out when the next event is happening in my area. I don't know if I'll get Cowboy Action shooting, but I do want to go and watch. It got me thinking: how did you get into CAS? You like to play dress-up, like single action shooting or just like being someone else on the weekend? Looking at the site it looks like a lot of fun and I've talked to a couple folks who have participated and say that the old-timers are always quick to help and that's a plus for me. I don't want to be a part of some stuffy old-guys gun club. So, what got you started in CAS?

Well to be honest Tater I got started because the IPSC boys ticked me off BAD.

I was at a friendly little local match with a buddy of mind who was new to handguns PERIOD. He had a jam on his handgun during a stage. One of the judges throws down a clip board, stalks over, takes away his gun and proceeds to cuss him and his "cheap piece of ****" while dismantleing HIS gun. Didn't even give the guy a chance to clear the jam. Anyway between that and the rest of the bad attitudes I needed to go someplace that respected everybody, reguardless of level of knowledge.

SASS fit the bill.
