CAS Youth Program
Text Box: SASS 2011 TG Summit Agenda from Rattlesnake Blake NOTE: PLEASE INDICATE TO ME YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE FOLLOWING ITEMS SO THAT I CAN EXPRESS THE CONSENSUS OF OUR CLUB AT THE TERRITORIAL GOVERNOR’S SUMMIT IN DECEMBER. 1) Should the scoring program be changed so that any shooter that does not finish TWO or more stages in a match is not eligible for any main match awards? Voting YES would apply the same criteria currently in place for multiple SDQ’s & SOG’s to DNF’s (Did Not Finish) i.e.; 2X = Match Disqualification. A NO vote would allow a shooter who DNF’s multiple stages to place ahead of competitors who actually completed all main match stages. 2) Should the limiting criteria for shooters in Age Based categories be changed from the current “minimum qualifying age OR GREATER” to “between the ages of…”? (e.g. Wranglers from 36-48; 49ers from 49-59; Seniors from 60-64; etc.) A YES vote would no longer allow a shooter to compete in Age Based categories below his/her actual age range. Cowboy/Cowgirl category age range would end at 35 years of age. The Junior (Buckaroo/ette and Young Gun) categories would NOT be affected. A NO vote would leave the Age Based category restrictions unchanged. (e.g. Two shooters with adjustable-sighted revolvers & a 66 or 73 rifle: A 65 yr old competitor currently has the option to sign up in FIVE Age Based categories: Silver Senior, Senior, 49er, Wrangler or Cowboy; A 26 yr old using those firearms only has ONE option: Cowboy) 3) Should an “OPEN” category be added with NO RESTRICTIONS regarding gender, age, shooting style or propellant? This would provide a single category in which ANY shooter could register. (Gunfighter-style competitors would have to comply with the current category regulations) 4) Should the “B” Western Category options be rewritten to allow for additional ladies costuming options? A YES vote would have the ROC rewrite the BW requirements to include the suggested changes. A NO vote would leave B Western as is. 5) Should the attached, proposed Category System be adopted? NOTE: Some of the Ladies categories that have historically been “under populated‟ at most annual matches are no longer on the “officially recognized” list. Those have been replaced with FCGF, SGF, Cattle Baron, and 80+ (name as yet undetermined) A Match Director will always have the OPTION to offer ANY additional categories; as well as the OPTION to change the minimum requirement for honoring a category.  Category Rules: Categories listed are the "Official" SASS categories. 2. All categories must be initially offered at State and above level matches. 3. MD’s are NOT required to honor categories that fail to secure a minimum of 5 entries at the State and Regional level, or a minimum of 10 entries at WR and EOT. A cutoff deadline shall be established and posted by the sponsoring club. 4. Match application forms should ask for a shooter's second (or third) choice. 5. If it becomes necessary to drop any category due to a failure to meet the minimum number of shooters required, those effected shooters will be placed into their second choice category. If no second choice has been given, "Age" based category shooters will “Rollback" into the next lower category. The only exception is the Cowboy category. Since it is at the bottom of the scale, it will roll forward into the Wrangler category if necessary. The Junior categories are exempt. 6. Shooters will not be allowed to compete in an "Age" based category that is outside of their age group, except in the case of a category "Rollback." 7. At the MD’s discretion, ANY category may be added, and any minimum requirement may be reduced. 8. These rules apply to state and above matches, and are recommended at all lower level matches. 9. OPEN category is any age/shooting style/propellant w/SASS-legal CAS equipment.

YOUTH SHOOTING PROGRAM    

 

On Sunday, October 9th we held our first Cowboy Action

Shooting Youth Program.  There were nine youngsters

present along with their parents.  Crazy Emmitt and

Rattlesnake Blake provided the classroom instruction,

and then we took everyone down to the range for some

actual shooting experience with the 22 pistols & rifles and

the 410 shotguns. 

 

         There were bays set up for the pistol, rifle and shotgun along with qualified Range Officiers who assisted the youngsters along the way.  Our thanks to all those present who came out and supported this event. 

 

Our Goal: To introduce young people to the pleasures and responsibilities of the shooting sports within the framework of the traditional Old West while using single action revolvers, rifles and a shot gun.  Our #1 priority being SAFETY. 

 

         We will be offering additional training for new youngsters as well as taking those who have been through the initial orientation and assisting them with developing their shooting skills.
