All these other Pards say it right, SASS is the most fun you can have with your clothes on. I have been shooting it for 13 years and my wife joined me about 8 years ago to keep m,e out of trouble. We have shot in about 9 states over that time and about 5-6 every year. She shoots Ladies Silver Senior and is onlyu about 5 months away from Grand Dame (70 +) I shoot Eleder Statesman and have been the Alabama State Champion in that class for the past three years. I am 73. Check out my web site for som SASS pictures and info.

I would suggerst you put that 44/40 in the safe and start using all .38 caliber guns. It will be a lot cheaper in the long run even if you have to buy two pistols and a rifle. The saving on ammo will pay for the guns in a hurry.
