Jedi Gunfighters

©Dead Head

History:

A few years back during the time that 'Badlands Bud' and 'Widowmaker Hill' were setting/resetting/re-resetting the Gunfighter World Record times, it was mentioned that "we must be Jedi's because 'The Force' was with us."

From there, the 'Jedi Gunfighter' designation was started. It originally consisted of just a couple dozen well-known, fast and/or dedicated Gunfighter's that most of us had heard of. A handful of those were designated as 'Master Jedi' due to either (or both) their proficiency with pistols in the Gunfighter style of shooting and/or their dedication into SASS and making available very good information to help other shooters, particularly Gunfighter's. This is an unofficial group and not sanctioned by SASS and is not an official SASS category.

Today, the 'Jedi Council' looks at the shooter's dedication in SASS, how active they are in club activities, how helpful during shoots, how well they understand Gunfighter guidelines/rules, etc. and of course, reasonable proficiency with their pistols as a Gunfighter. BUT, a Jedi Gunfighter does not have to be a pure Gunfighter at every match! A few Jedi's are predominately Traditional style shooters that shoot Gunfighter at special events, etc AND are VERY DEDICATED club officers, match directors, etc.

Required Criteria -

1. Must have SASS Range Officer status (RO I or RO II)
2. Must have shot Gunfighter at least ONE year, preferably the most recent year.

General Criteria - at least one of the following, PLUS being an all-around good member of SASS/CAS:

1. have won a match shooting Gunfighter (min 5 stages)
2. have shot a clean match shooting Gunfighter (min 5 stages)
3. be an Ambassador, either by deed and/or attitude. Generally understands the rules in what is acceptable as a Gunfighter.
4. ANY intangible that makes a shooter 'A Cut Above' as a Gunfighter.

'Korupt Karl' has designed and had made a special Jedi Gunfighter pin that members can purchase from him for the nominal charge of $5 face to face or $9.00 via mail.

He has a padded envelope that holds three buckles nicely if you can order them for yourself and a couple of other Jedi's it would be nice and help him out. If not, he can send them out one at a time.
