I think the you-tube videos really do a 'dis-service' to SASS. When I think of SASS, I think of my .45 Colt revolvers and how I load them and use them. Then you go watch the videos and see 'em shoot 'puff' loads where the barrel barely rises.... In rifle too. Might as well shoot bb guns...That is a turn off to me.... and I wonder to how many others? Yes, I know it takes skill. Shoot, when I add speed to my shooting, no longer am I hitting as often! That said, I do understand though there are other categories you can shoot the more authentic fire power where 'good' blackpowder loads are required (something they call frontier?) .... So those who wish to, can. Just the videos give a 'mis-conception' of what is really offered through SASS... All I am saying!
