RULING DISPUTE PROCEDURE

In the event a competitor feels a range officer's ruling is in error, the ruling may be politely and immediately appealed to the range master / match director after clearing the range, allowing match activities to resume. The range master/match director will consider the appeal on grounds of policy and rules interpretation only, and their decision is final. At major matches special protest juries comprised of Territorial Governors may be empanelled to aid the range master/match director in making a reasonable judgement. At the Kentucky State Shoot, you must make your intent to appeal known to the posse marshal BEFORE leaving the unloading table. A deposit of $40 will be made. If you loose the appeal, the money will go to the SASS scholarship fund.

RE-SHOOTS

At all SASS annual club, state, regional, national, and world championship matches, no re-shoots will be given after the first shot is fired, except for  prop or match equipment failure  a Range Officer impeding the progress of the shooter  timer failure or unrecorded time as determined by the Range Officer and the Match Director. In this case, the shooter starts over with no penalties (except safety) or misses. For example, if the Range Officer stops a shooter from completing a shooting sequence because of a suspected squib load, and the gun turns out to be “clear,” the Range Officer has impeded the progress of the shooter, and a re-shoot is in order. Stage 1 Clint plays a cynical gunfighter who comes to a small border town and offers his services to two rivaling gangs. Neither gang is aware of the double play, and each thinks it is using him, but the stranger will outwit them both.

Scenario: “The man with no name” has arrived in San Miquel, which is controlled by the Rojo’s and the Baxter’s who sell liquor and guns to the Indians. Clint wants to make it rich too, but which one will pay the most? Clint decides to challenge the Baxter’s first, as he passes the coffin maker he says, “Get three coffins ready.”

Here are the hired guns that make fun of your mule when you came into town. Now they won’t apologize. START: Hands touching window frame Rifle 10 Pistol 10 LINE : “ Get three coffins ready “ Shotgun as needed Must shoot through all 3 wall openings R R R R

While not as impressive as it’s follow-ups For A Few Dollars More (1965) and The Good,The Bad, and The Ugly (1966).

Scenario: Clint has been in the cave recovering from being beaten by the Rojo family. At last he rides into town for a showdown. Ramon Rojo tries to shoot him in the heart, but Clint is wearing a metal chest protector, so he’s not hurt.

Misunderstood, he is caught and hanged by nine upstanding citizens for murdering Johanson and his wife and stealing their cattle. Marshal Cooper sets out to bring in the “Swede” who is jailed in another town. When he arrives there he sees “Reno” one of the men who hanged him. He kills Reno when he goes for his gun after recognizing the rope mark on Cooper’s neck. When he returns to Fort Grant with the Swede, he finds that another of the hanging party has turned himself in and given the Judge the names of the others in the party.

Scenario: It is hanging time for the Swede. You are the executioner and are getting the condemned man ready. But the Swede has many friends that want to see you swing instead.

He arrests one at Red Creek then has to leave him there and go after three rustlers and murderers. Catching them he finds that one of them was in on the hanging party. The other two are youngsters who he tries to talk the Judge out of hanging. The Judge tells him that they have to hang to uphold the law or the next posse that catches an outlaw will say, “Hang’Em, and Hang’Em High, there’s no justice in Fort Grant.”

After walking into the saloon, Mummy asks for the owner. Skinney comes forward. Mummy kills him with a blast of the shotgun. Little bills exclaims “ You sir are a cowardly son of a b****.
