Welcome to year 2020 pards. Our match this Sunday starts the new decade and unfortunately brings with it a fee increase. Our new fee for 2020 will be $15 a match. New regulations are also going into effect from the range we shoot at. The per bay cost is going from $34 to $140 a bay. RO's please bring a copy of your RO certificate to be kept on file at the range office.
SASS has a new rule going into effect. It is: Eliminate the automatic Stage DQ penalty for leaving the loading table with a cocked rifle. In such instances, the shooter will be directed to point the rifle safely into the back berm, bring the hammer to full cock if it is in the half-cock/safety position, then pull the trigger. If no round is fired, the shooter will be directed to finish staging firearms in order to start the stage (No Call). If a round fires when the shooter pulls the trigger, the shooter will be assessed a Stage DQ and directed to proceed to the unloading table.
Have a great first match of the decade this Sunday!!

The next match will be September 15th. Due to the heat there is not interest in us having the summer practice matches. Once the sun comes up it is definately hot out there. Keep safe and cool until we see you the 3rd Sunday of September.
Congratulations to our own Cowboy Jon for his second-place finish in the world championship at End of Trail. The Buckaroo category was large and deep with top shooters. Down the road this Miakka Misfit will surely be back to End of Trail to win a first place. Here is a photo of Cowboy Jon with his EOT trophy.
The May Match scores have been posted to the website. Cowboy Jon and Deadly Don finished first and second today and they both will be going next month out west to shoot at End of Trail. We wish them the best of success at the world championship. Congrats to High Stump, our only clean shooter today.
Due to End of Trail we are not shooting next month so our next summer match (which is really a practice) will be July 21, 2019 if we hear from enough members that want to come out and practice. If we do not hear that you all want the practices, our next regular match will be September 15, 2019 when it hopefully is a little cooler.
Until then, Happy Trails!
Starting Sunday May 19th begins our time to wear summer clothes including shorts and sport shirts. We understand that the heat can be brutal so we want to make it easier for you to come and shoot. See you Sunday!
I am very sorry to report that our Easter Match has been cancelled. The shooting range has decided to close this Sunday April 21st for Easter and will reopen on April 25th. We were very much looking forward to the match. Hope to see you May 19th!!

This coming Sunday, February 17th is our monthly match! I hope to see everyone taking advantage of this beautiful Florida weather.
How many of you remember this little guy who shot his first round down range with us three years ago? Well he won the overall for our match last month against some really good and fast shooters. It's Cowboy Jon and he will be going to End of Trail this June to try to be the World Champion Buckaroo! Be sure to give Cowboy Jon your support when you see him. The competition at End of Trail is fierce.
This shady character is Marauder Martinez. Be on the look out for him. He is a brand new member of SASS and the Miakka Misfits. Marauder shot his first ever match last month with us. He had a great match and a lot of fun. He will be with us again for our match this coming week. Marauder clearly has to be considered armed and dangerous.
Howdy Pards!!
Reminder: The Miakka Misfits monthly match is this Sunday (1/20/19) at 9:00AM. Carry on....
