General Discussion / September Match Predictions
« on: September 06, 2023, 07:21:46 AM »
I predict...
1.) There will be six stages on three bays.
2.) Ammo count will be 10-10-4+ on each stage.
3.) No rifle or handgun knockdowns and all stages will have some movement.
This is not a prediction, but an invitation to participate. Feel free to make your own predictions about the match. Predict how many are coming, how many will have a clean match, what color shirt so-and-so is gonna wear or whatever you can come up with. Follow the numbering sequence, make your calls and let's see who can make the best guesses.
Good luck!

General Discussion / The Oak Ridge Outlaws Need You!
« on: July 18, 2023, 07:41:04 AM »
The Outlaws are in search of volunteers willing to help out as Posse Marshals. I know we have several capable and qualified folks, I just don't know who is willing to pitch in. We're also seeking anyone willing to get involved by writing an occasional stage or match.
If you're interested in lending a hand or have any questions, please let me know.
Thanks,

General Discussion / Oak Ridge Outlaw Rules and Regulations
« on: June 10, 2023, 05:28:20 PM »
In addition to revising the bylaws, a set of Rules and Regulations outlining the general operation of our matches has also been drawn up. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact Uncle Ethan, Steely, or Jackalope. We will most likely have a discussion and vote to adopt or amend the proposed bylaws at the pre-match meeting on 8 July.
OAK RIDGE OUTLAWS
Rules and Regulations
Proposed for 2023
SASS safety rules are in effect. Any fired round leaving the shooting bay will result in immediate match disqualification.
The ORSA range has a cold range policy. Long guns will remain open and empty and revolvers will remain holstered and empty until the shooter is at the loading area preparing for the stage. If the shooter must leave the loading table after loading his/her guns, the guns must either be unloaded first or left at the table. Handling guns off the line may be done at the unloading table or at one of the designated safe areas on the AP range.
Muzzle control is critical. Long guns must be carried pointed downrange or with the muzzles up. In any event, do not allow the muzzle of your gun to sweep anyone.
Percussion revolvers may be charged at the unloading table or other safe location, but may not be capped until the shooter is at the loading table preparing for the stage. Again, do not allow the muzzle of your gun to sweep anyone during any phase of the loading process.
Range rules require protective eyewear to be used by all participants and spectators. Wrap-around glasses, side shields and hearing protection is strongly recommended.
Unless specified in the scenario, shotguns will be staged open and empty and shooters may safely stage and restage their long guns as desired. Staging and restaging is at the shooter’s own risk regarding falling guns, 170 violations, etc. After use, all long guns must be safely restaged in accordance with SASS rules or specific stage instructions.
Unless specified in the scenario, shooters may not start a stage touching any gun or ammunition and all ammunition must be carried, staged, and reloaded in accordance with SASS rules.
Side match stages are optional. Scores for side matches will be tabulated, but are not included with main match stage results. Shooters may engage side match stages in any shooting style, regardless of the main match category they entered. Safety penalties will not carry over into the main match.
Shooters are expected to dress “cowboy”, follow SASS rules and help with posse chores to the best of their ability. Allowances will be made to facilitate shooters in need, to the extent possible.
The Oak Ridge Outlaws include specialty categories that are not recognized by SASS including:
Double Duelist: One revolver shot with left hand and the other shot with right hand. All other SASS rules for the Duelist category apply.
Outlaw: You must hold pistols and shotgun below chest level with elbows bent, without aiming or sighting down the barrel. The rifle may be aimed and fired from the shoulder, but that is not required. Pistols must be shot one handed, duelist, double duelist, or gunfighter style only.
Josie Wales: In place of the rifle, two additional revolvers are used. These two revolvers will be loaded with no more than five rounds. (If fewer than ten rounds are needed for the rifle portion of the stage, the shooter will load revolvers as desired, not to exceed the rifle ammo count for the stage each. In the event the stage requires more than ten rifle rounds or includes a requirement to reload the rifle, the Josie Wales shooter may elect to load as many rounds as the stage requires while “on the clock” or just take the miss penalties. At no time will the shooter lower the hammer on a live round.) These revolvers will be fired following the rifle instructions in the scenario. They may be staged in place of the rifle or carried and drawn from belt or shoulder holsters in accordance with SASS rules. In whatever manner these revolvers are transported, they may not sweep anyone nor violate the 170 rule. The shooter may also elect to use a fifth revolver in place of a shotgun. This revolver will be loaded with the exact number of rounds as there are shotgun targets, not to exceed five. The shooter may load an additional round on the clock (in accordance with SASS rules) if there are six shotgun targets. You are not allowed to reload to make up misses.
Match fee schedule:
ORSA Members and Associate Members $10
Visitors $15
(Membership is defined in Article III of the Oak Ridge Outlaw bylaws.
Because our goal is to provide a safe and enjoyable shooting experience, anyone who becomes belligerent or threatening in any manner will be disqualified from the event and required to leave the range.

The following is a proposed revision to the ORSA Outlaw Bylaws. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact Uncle Ethan, Steely, or Jackalope. We will most likely have a discussion and vote to adopt or amend the proposed bylaws at the pre-match meeting on 8 July.
BYLAWS

OAK RIDGE OUTLAWS
Proposed for 2023
Article I, Name
The name of this organization shall be known as ORSA’s OAK RIDGE OUTLAWS.

The Oak Ridge Outlaws are subject to the bylaws of the Oak Ridge Sportsmen’s Association and comply with the guidelines of ORSA’s Action Pistol Club. The purposes and objectives of this club are:
(a) To promote firearm safety and friendly competition in a supervised environment as specified by the national parent body, The Single Action Shooting Society (SASS).
(b) To promote cowboy shooting as family entertainment while maintaining the highest degree of sportsmanship and fair play.
ARTICLE III, Membership
Any shooter who is a member of ORSA and has participated in at least one monthly Oak Ridge Outlaw match during the calendar year is considered a full member. Participants in Oak Ridge Outlaw matches who are not ORSA members may also vote provided they qualify as Associate Members of the Oak Ridge Outlaws. Such shooters (and direct family members) qualify for Associate Membership after the shooter’s participation as a visitor at least four times at the ORSA range during a calendar year (or make a one-time prepayment of differential in match fees ($20) at any time). Members have the right to attend and be heard at regularly scheduled meetings of the club. Each member has the right to cast one vote, in person, on any matter put to a vote of the membership. A member may be suspended or expelled from membership by a unanimous vote of the Executive Board, for cause.
ARTICLE IV, Meetings
Annual Meeting of the Membership.
The annual meeting of the club shall be held during October of each year at a date, time, and place that will be announced by the Executive Board at least one month in advance of the meeting. The purpose of the annual meeting will be to elect new officers; hear the annual report of the Treasurer and Territorial Governor; propose changes regarding policies, rules and Bylaws. (Proposals for changes in policies, rules and bylaws will be discussed and voted on in Executive Board meetings.) If for any reason the annual meeting must be rescheduled, officers will continue until their successors have been elected. Any rescheduled meeting must be announced at least one month in advance of the actual meeting.
Special Meetings of the Membership.
A special meeting of the club may be held at any time upon the call of the President or upon the call of the Executive Board (see Article V). Members may petition the President or any member of the Executive Board, in writing, with a request for a special meeting. Based on justification provided by the requesting member, the request will be approved or disapproved in an Executive Board meeting. Notice of the time, place and subject of any special meetings shall be announced to all officers and members in good standing (by mail and/or email and/or on the website no less than seven days prior to the date of the meeting). The Executive Board shall determine the place of such special meeting.

They shall be elected by a majority vote of the members in good standing present at the annual meeting of the club. Their term of office is one year, and, to provide a period of transition, shall begin on 1 January. Any member is eligible to hold office in the club, but the President and Vice President must be members of ORSA, SASS RO-I and RO-II Certified and authorized to use the Action Pistol range. However, all Executive Board members are encouraged to join ORSA. Officers may be re-elected. Exclusive of the Executive Board, the club shall elect also a Territorial Governor.

(e) Any officer may be removed by a majority vote of the members in good standing present at any special meeting called for this purpose. No vote on suspension or recall may be taken unless at least fifteen days’ notice, in writing, specifying the reason for proposed recall and the time and place of the special meeting to determine removal shall have been given to the officer in question. At such special meeting, the officer shall be given a full hearing prior to the casting of ballots for removal.
ARTICLE VI, Duties and Responsibilities
President. The President is responsible for organizing and overseeing the operation of the Oak Ridge Outlaws. He/she will ensure all tasks necessary to organize a safe, entertaining cowboy shooting experience are accomplished. He/she will ensure the club complies with requirements established by SASS and will maintain SASS affiliation. He/she will normally preside at meetings of the club and the Executive Board and will be a member ex-officio of all regular and special committees and shall perform all other duties as normally pertain to the office. The President will make appointments as required and approved by majority vote of the Executive Board. He/she shall conduct all official correspondence pertaining to the proper preparation and forwarding of all reports required of the club by the Action Pistol Club and ORSA.

Vice President. The Vice President will assist the President in the execution of that in his/her absence and at his/her request. As specified by SASS, this performs duties as match director and range master and maintains operational control of the overall match. This officer typically designs and writes match stages and will supervise and have final approval authority of designs and stages authored by volunteers or appointees. The Vice President may also be appointed to perform other duties assigned by the Executive Board.
Treasurer. The Treasurer shall receive and is responsible for all money, bills and financial accounting for the club. At the expiration or termination of his/her term of office, the Treasurer will deliver over to his/her successor all books, money, statements, and other property of the club in his/her charge. In the absence of a successor, such properties will be delivered immediately to the President. The Treasurer will maintain a current list of voting members of the club. He/she will keep a record of participants at each match, specifying their membership in ORSA, SASS, whether they are regular or associate members of the club or visitors. He/she will collect entry fees at matches, maintaining records of all fees collected, and deliver receipts and a match report to the President. At minimum this report shall include the number of participants (with the number of ORSA members and SASS members identified), funds collected, invoices to be paid and receipts for reimbursement. Together with the President, the Treasurer will develop annual operating and capital budgets. The Treasurer coordinates the purchase of range supplies and capital expenditures with the Action Pistol Club treasurer. The Treasurer shall keep a true and accurate account of all transactions and render a detailed report with vouchers upon request of the Executive Board and an annual financial report to the general membership at the annual meeting (this also is done in cooperation with the Action Pistol Club treasurer). The Treasurer will also assist with club operation and shall perform other duties assigned by the Executive Board.
Safety Officer. The Safety Officer’s objective is to eliminate personal injury during our matches. While each shooter’s first responsibility if for his/her own safe conduct and all shooters are expected to remain alert for unsafe actions, the Safety Officer will help minimize potential hazards to the group as a whole. The Safety Officer performs those duties as specified by SASS and will assist with stage inspections/walk-throughs. This officer will provide pre-match briefings to include local safety rules not already specified in SASS publications.
Secretary. The Secretary will schedule and notify the members of the Executive Board of any required meetings and shall notify members at large of special meetings and annual meetings. The Secretary will record the minutes of all meetings of the Executive Board and General membership and maintain records of those meetings. The secretary will coordinate with the Treasurer to maintain a membership roster, contact information and perform other duties typically associated with this position.
Territorial Governor: The Territorial Governor shall be the direct informational conduit between the Oak Ridge Outlaws and SASS. He/she is expected to represent and support SASS, its philosophy, and its purpose to club members. The TG must meet current SASS qualifications and is expected to represent and support the Oak Ridge Outlaws’ preferences in any SASS agenda votes or discussions.
Other Positions: The club may occasionally have requirements for temporary positions or committees. These may be appointed by the President, with majority approval of the Executive Board. These positions may include forum administrator/webmaster, advertising, social coordinator, etc.
ARTICLE VII, Matches
The Oak Ridge Outlaws shall schedule a cowboy action shooting match once a month, usually on the second Saturday. Additional matches may be scheduled during the week prior to the second Saturday or as authorized by the Executive Board. These matches normally consist of five or six stages and are open to all Cowboy Action Shooters regardless of membership. The Executive Board shall set the fees for voting members and visiting shooters which will be documented in the Rules and Regulations. These rules and regulations will cover unique range rules for the cowboy matches and allow the Executive Board to publicly document policies that may require revision without a vote of the general membership. All matches are preceded by a safety meeting. At the discretion of membership, an annual match may be held, independent of monthly matches.
I hereby certify that these Bylaws have been adopted by the Oak Ridge Outlaws.

General Discussion / May Match Predictions
« on: May 10, 2023, 07:13:56 AM »
I predict...
1.) Six main match stages this month, no side match.
2.) We will not need jackets.
3.) Plenty of movement.
Hope to see you there!
This isn't really a match prediction, but I also guarantee that we all are wishing the very best for Ringer, Mister Badly, Tio Don, Longshot Luther and all our other friends who are dealing with health issues. Get well soon, everyone!

I predict...
1.) Five main stages plus one side-match stage.
2.) Ammo count will be 50 rifle, 50 handgun, and 16+ shotgun. Side match will be 10, 10 & 4+.
3.) Cloudy and maybe a raindrop or two, nothing to worry about.
Hope you can make it!
