Single Action Shooting Society

This is the coolest thing I've ever hyeared of! Don't care for Civil War reenactments. Kinda get into the Mountain Man Rendezvous once in awhile -- or used to. But SASS sounds f-u-n FUN!

The Single Action Shooting Society is an international organization created to preserve and promote the sport of Cowboy Action Shooting.

SASS endorses regional matches conducted by affiliated clubs, stages END of TRAIL The World Championship of Cowboy Action Shooting, promulgates rules and procedures to ensure safety and consistency in Cowboy Action Shooting matches, and seeks to protect its members' 2nd Amendment rights. SASS members share a common interest in preserving the history of the Old West and competitive shooting.


Read all about it.

SASS rules say you have to have an alias. What should mine be? What would y'allses' be???

--ER

Comments:
I think my alias would be B.H. Stone. ER Point to someone who can ID him -- at least why he'd be a good alias for me.
 
Ooh, or Lawrie Tatum.

Real subtleties in the reason Lawrie Tatum could be an alias for me ...
 
I can understand why you would want to be an Indian Territory Newspaper editor, but why an editor that was shot and killed by another newspaper editor. Instead of Stone who was the editor of the Talequah Telephone and the one who died, why not Boudinot the editor that did the shooting. Oh by the way why did they want to kill each other in the first place?

As for Lawrie Tatum, you don't seem the Quaker type.

I think my handle would have to be Lobo Jo.
 
I got a Colt 44 1861 Army revolver, does that qualify?
 
I changed my mind, I want to be "Preacher Wolf".
 
Ha. I figgered you'd get this.

Stone because he *was* the shootee -- 'cause some people around here want to shoot me figuratively (I hope that's all!)
Boudinot, depending on who you ask, was a visionary who saw the writing on the wall, or a traitor who sold his nation and his Cherokee countrymen downriver. He was and is a total enigma.


Tatum was a dyed-in-the-wool peace-lovin' ideologue -- until he landed at Fort Sill. He shifted a little to the right real quick, faced with hard reality.

I *want* to be a peacenik, but reality straightens me out.

Hence, although we came at it from different ends of the spectrum -- Tatum started as a peaceful sort and went somewhat conservative, and I started out wanting to shoot first and ask questions later and have turned liberal -- we are kindred spirits of a sort, I think.
 
Hmm. Who else can we put handles on???

Bitch, Ph.D = Calamity Jane!
(:-), B!

Rich Bachelor = Doc Holliday.
(Stoic, slow to draw, accurate tho)

Mark = Jesse W. Haywood!
(Jab! Just kidding, mark!) :-)

Nick = William "Bill" Munny
(Nick *wants to be Doc Holliday!)

Trixie = Phoebe Ann Oakley Mozee!
(Was gonna say "Miss Kitty," but was too easy ...)
 
Dr. ER = Karla Jackson (with a pee aytch dee)
 
KEvron = William Dudley "Big Bill" Haywood! (yer welcome, KEv!)
 
Too funny! There is a very "Annie" like photo of my grandma, all 4'6" of her, with her shotgun and a string of squirrels she shot for supper. So this seems vaguely appropriate.
 
Karla Jackson? Too modern. Cattle Kate, maybe.
 
Cattle Kate? Is she in the movie I have yet to see that Dr. ER is agahst and agog that I haven't seen and that I, myself, hang my head in shame and having never seen?

"Giant."

(I confess that I think Annie Potts is SO HOT ...)
 
Ah, just read a Cattle Kate write-up. .. I don't know ...
 
Rem870 = Marshall Matt Dillon
(Straight as an arrow!)
 
Dr. ER = Laura Ingalls Wilder.
(Independent and smart!)
 
OK, no Cattle Kate.
The problem with Giant is that you have to see it full screen. To do that means "letter box", which means for this movie almost just a line across the screen.
Maybe Dr. ER could be Luc or was it Luz in the movie Giant.
 
Speaking of Edna Ferber movies, I think you should be "Yancy Cravet" in the movie Cimarron.
 
Tech = Ned Buntline!
 
Yancey Cravat
 
That'd fit!
 
I'd use "Charlie Parkhurst" as my pseudonym.
 
Scuse me--that should've been "Charley".

And on second thought, maybe Nellie Cashman.
 
Tug = Whispering George Cooper!
 
Charlie Parkhurst! Very cool, Kiki.
 
Had to look up Nellie Cashman. Very cool, too!
 
There's only two Western characters I'd like to be and they're both from the same movie.

Blondie (aka the Man with No Name) and Tuco (aka The Ugly).
 
"The Ugly"! Ha!
 
Hey Pants, You be Noon and I'll be High!
 
What? Ned Buntline?!! Well, that's not too bad, but I reckon I'd rather be John Chisum, thank ya kindly. Now get off my spread and don't you come back.
 
OK, OK, Louis La'Mour.
 
Tuco: 'Il Brutto' as he shows up in the Italian prints of the movie, and described by Blondie not long into it as: "...also known as the Rat."
I appreciate the Doc Holliday, and yer rational therefore. Furthermore, I was portrayed in the movies by Kirk Douglas!
I'd pick the Umatilla Birdman for myself, for reasons I'll get into at length, over at my place...
 
GP = the Rev. Cyrus Kingsbury!
 
Drlobojo, you sure yer not Bob Ingersoll? :-)
 
Better one for Bitch, Ph.D.:
Lillian Harman!
 
I don't think I could live up to Bob Ingersoll's legacy. I could do the Cisco Kid maybe. Canada Bill Jones has always been a favorite of mine.

Now in that Tech just bites right into things, he might ought to be Bill Picket.

The only place love is "free" ER is in your imagination.
 
Who should carry Elmer McCurdy's moniker?
 
Melancholic?

(Just makin' a play off his blogger handle!)

:-)
 
Serious note on Ingersoll:

I plan to research and write an article about how the infamous freethinking agnostic did a benefit lecture to raise money for tornoado recovery for the good people of Fort Smith, Ark., when a tornoado whacked the town, in 1899, I think.
 
Oh, the kicker being that he did so for the "good Christian people" of Fort Smith.
 
I think I'll be Zina Young, third president of the Mormon women's group, the Relief Society.

This, especially B-PhD will appreciate about Zina, while she was president the Relief Society affiliated with the United States National Council of Women and campaigned for women’s suffrage.

Surprised? :)

My runner-up choice would be the second Relief Society president, Eliza Snow. Under her leadership, the Relief Society sent women to medical school among other before-their-time achievements.

It was a tough call. :)
 
"Whispering George Cooper"?

I don't get it...

Please forgive my ignorance. (In this particular case, it is indeed genuine...)
 
Maybe a good alias for you, ER, would be "Aaron Burr", since he was a Clinton supporter, and he shot the President...
 
Whispering George Cooper was a stagecoach driver.
 
Burr: wrong era, wrong region, wrong facts.
 
ANd that raises the next question: what would your descriptive tribal name be?
I've always held that this would be a hard one in modern society since there would be too many Watches Too Much T.V. 's and Sits Around Drinking Malt Liquor All Day 's in the mix.
I'd like my tribal name to be kinda dignified; Attended By Voices, but maybe realistically it'd be more like Sometimes Steals Cheese. I dunno.
 
Just call me Man-who-Loves-Cattle

on the hoof, in a trailer, in a skillet, on a grill, on a bun, on a plate ...
 
If you're gonna use that gun, you better start on me. - the first Marshal Dillon line that came to mind.

It's kinda hard to give you a handle when I have no idea what kind of a shot you are. Are you more of a "dead-eye" or a "broadside (of the barn)" kinda guy?

How 'bout kicking it old school and resurrecting "The Press"?
 
Please, PLEASE, don't let the next line say, "... In the bed."

:-)
 
I can get about two doves per box. :-)

I could be Lonesome Dove!
 
My "Eastern Oklahoma" tribal name is "Wolf Swims Up River". My "Western Oklahoma" tribal name is "He who howls twice" and among the Big Bellies it is, "Won't sit down."
 
...among the Big Bellies it is, "Won't sit down."

Sometimes translated as "He Can't Squat".
 
"KEvron = William Dudley "Big Bill" Haywood! (yer welcome, KEv!)"

just glad i didnt get tagged with "charles whitman"....

KEvron
