    He only wears the pink, feathered tutu on Valentine's Day. But I can understand why he won't let me take any photos of him in it! <img src='http://www.goodguysposse.org/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon8.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':sickup:' /> <img src='http://www.goodguysposse.org/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon8.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':sickup:' />

    Purdy wouldn't be the word I would choose. And "camisole and bloomers" is clearly a frightening concept!<br />

    Let's remember that it used to be "out West, where the men are men, and the women are ... men also." They wore leather underwear, didn't they?

    Let's all remember that this is a game. And in the gaming lessons from IPSC, there were two kinds of scenerios - the speed shoot (Cooper's El Capitan) and the A-zone shoot. You decided which a particular stage was by how long it took to shoot and how many shots there were. The longer and more shots, the more it was an A-zone shoot, where being accurate counted more than a couple hundreths of a second. The shorter the stage, the more it was a run-and-gun.<br />
    <br />
    Personally, I believe that people kind of like a little of both. Stages shouldn't be so hard that you have to have a pre-test to see if you grasped how to shoot it, nor so easy that a blind, one-armed Arapahoe can shoot it clean and quick. Setting the speed stage targets a little further back was a good idea - it is STILL the speed stage, just a little more concentration. I think one stage of more complexity would work well, something to make you think a little. Variety of location, without compromising things like riccochets is very helpful, but there are clearly location limitations. Excess movement or wierd shooting positions are more the IPSC style than cowboy.<br />

    Like Grizzley, I shoot .45's with 5.8 gr of Titegroup. I like the bounce. But lest we forget, one of the all-time greatest gunfighters was Wild Bill Hickock, and he shot '51 Navy .36's - and he didn't even raise them to aim but shot from the hip! We don' 'low dat in SASS! If I recollect my TV right, Yancy Derringer carried a passle of pimp guns and managed to thwart the bad guy every week. So to each his own. Nice to be able to accomodate everyone's desires. ?Anyone think we ought to break out scoring by calibre. ?How about "power factor". ?How about shooting style (well, we actually DO that with the different classes that we shoot!)<br />

    Ugly said it at the beginning to this ramble - no matter how we slice the pie, the fast guys will always be the fast guys, and the slow guys will stay slow without major investment of time and practice, regardless of calibre and shooting style.
