General Discussion / Re: Just a Quick "Hello"

« on: May 25, 2020, 09:18:02 PM »

My SASS alias is John Kloehr. I just joined SASS this month. Tn Tombstone pointed me over here.

Just getting started on my Cowboy guns, been shooting some steel challenge, 3 gun, and bug for a while.

Looking forward to a fun and informative journey in yet another sport.

I live in Wears Valley so ORSA is a bit of a drive, but I did come to your open house event last fall. Look forward to attending a shoot as restrictions ease up. Might need to borrow some guns... And still need to buy some too, and ammo, and leather, and...

And I want to learn to load and shoot the Holy Black.

John, welcome to the most fun you can have with your clothes on. My home club is Wartrace Regulators and we host the Tennessee State Championship the 2nd full weekend in October each year. We also shoot on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays. Come and check us out sometime if you get a chance, let me know what guns you need and I'll make sure to round some up. If you come for a monthly shoot try to get there early and I'll give you a quick orientation that morning. If you're interested in Outlaw Tennessee Tombstone is the Original Outlaw and if you're wanting to learn about black powder you can't go wrong with Jackalope.  Hope to get to meet you sometime.

1) Shooter stages cocked rifle with live/unfired round in the chamber.

SDQ for moving from the LT to the stage w/rifle in that condition.

= MDQ for “Two SDQ violations on the same stage” – SHB p.24

 

2) Shooter stages cocked rifle with empty chamber.

SDQ for staging the rifle with the hammer cocked (as soon as it leaves the shooter’s hands).

No additional penalty for "changing location" (moving from the LT) under the rule change.


 

3) Shooter has cocked rifle "in hand" to start.

Drop the hammer

If chamber empty = NO CALL

If chamber loaded = SDQ


 

Applicable rules:

- …

- Changing location/moving with a live round under a cocked hammer or firearm with the hammer down on a live round.

General Discussion / Rule Clarification Passed

« on: December 04, 2019, 08:35:48 PM »

Just saw this.

PaleWolf Brunelle
2 mins
Proposed rule change:
Eliminate the automatic Stage DQ penalty for leaving the loading table with a cocked rifle.
In such instances, the shooter will be directe  d to point the rifle safely into the back berm, bring the hammer to full cock if it is in the half-cock/safety position, then pull the trigger.
If no round is fired, the shooter will be directed to finish staging firearms in order to start the stage (No Call).
If a round fires when the shooter pulls the trigger, the shooter will be assessed a Stage DQ and directed to proceed to the unloading table
PASSED by vote of the Territorial Governors.
YES - 208 (75.3%)
NO -- 68 (24.6%)

General Discussion / Silver Senior Gunfighter At Tennessee State Championship

« on: September 04, 2018, 08:38:36 PM »

It seems like there is enough interest to add Silver Senior (65+) Gunfighter to the Tennessee State Championship. We have to have 5 people sign up to make it a Category. If you haven't signed up yet and want to shoot SSGF just write it on the application. If you've already signed up and want to change categories just contact Papa Dave.
