Question 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.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
