Main Match Sponsor Belle Evans SASS #76517 Happy Trails to You

Welcome Welcome to the 18 th anniversary of the THE FRACAS AT PEMI GULCH and the 2016 SASS NH Cowboy Action Shooting Championship. This match is presented by the Single Action Shooting Society, Belle Evans SASS #56517, the Pemi-Valley Peacemakers and hosted by the Pemigewasset Valley Fish & Game Club. The Peacemakers have been involved in cowboy action shooting since its inception in 1997, hosting the first (unofficial) New Hampshire State Championship in 2000. As always, it is our goal to present a fun and challenging shooting experience to all competitors and create an atmosphere where friends, families, shooters and non-shooters alike can have an enjoyable time. This year s state championship returns to Holderness after a four year absence. The White Mountain Regulators have graciously hosted the State Championship during this intervening time, as the Peacemakers recovered from a rather rough, but interesting transition in leadership. A dedicated group of cowpokes have breathed new life into the Pemi club and we now feel that we are ready, once again, to host a state championship. The Peacemakers have pulled together what we feel is the Best of the Pemi, for our ten-stage Fracas at Pemi Gulch match. The Match Director has combed the Pemi archives and selected past scenarios worthy of a state-level championship match. This is a SASS sponsored and sanctioned cowboy action shooting match. Shooters MUST be a SASS member in order to compete. This not a match for new shooters and as such, we encourage new shooters to watch this match as a spectator and come to one of our club matches to learn the game. The Pemi Valley Peacemakers follow SASS Conventions, and the rules set forth the SASS Handbook. So, here s the opportunity to put your finely honed skills to the test. But, most of all, to simply do your best and have FUN.

Match Procedures All competitors are responsible for knowing and understanding SASS rules, Shooters Handbook Version 21.6, February 2016 Edition. This is a cold range, firearms may only be loaded at the loading tables and firing line. Only registered shooters are allowed to wear firearms or shoot. All competitors must wear their shooter s badge during the NH State Championship. Any non-shotgun round over a berm is an automatic match disqualification. It is the shooter s responsibility to stage/restage firearms safety. A precariously staged/restaged firearm that falls is NOT a prop failure. Malfunctioning firearms brought to the unloading table should be pointed in a safe direction and remain untouched until the owner completes his/her stage. He/she will request help if needed. Pistols start loaded with a maximum of five rounds, hammer fully on an empty chamber. Rifles start loaded with action closed hammer fully down on an empty chamber. Shotguns start with action open and chamber s empty. Dry firing of firearms is not allowed at the loading tables. Unloading tables are designated SAFE areas. Side match and main match are considered separate events. Upon the command of Cease Fire all shooting must stop immediately and all firearms made safe. COWBOY STAGE CONVENTIONS Stage Conventions or standard range behaviors are a list of practices every shooter is expected to know and follow on every stage. These stage defaults should be followed in all SASS Matches unless otherwise directed in stage descriptions. 1. All knockdown shotgun targets may be reengaged until down. 2. All knockdown targets (shotgun, rifle, or revolver) must go down to count. Any knockdown target still standing once the shooter has engaged the next sequence of the stage will be counted as a miss. 3. All staged guns shall have their barrels pointed safely down range. All long guns initially staged on a horizontal flat surface shall be staged lying flat where at least the rear of the trigger guard is on the staging area. All handguns initially staged on a horizontal flat surface must be staged with the entire handgun lying flat on the staging surface. 4. Staged shotguns will be open and empty. 5. Shooters may not start a stage with ammunition in hand. 6. Long guns will be discarded open and empty with their barrels pointed safely down range. If the action of a long gun closes after being opened and emptied, the shooter will, at the conclusion of

the stage, show it to be clear to the TO or spotter. Appropriate additional penalties will be applied if it is not clear. No one other than the competitor may handle the gun in question. 7. Revolvers are returned to leather after the shooting string. 8. Revolvers are drawn and used in accordance with the shooter s category. 9. If no starting position is given the shooter shall stand upright with revolvers holstered, hands at the side not touching any firearm. 10. Cowboy port arms is defined as standing upright with the butt of the long gun at or below the waist of the shooter, the muzzle at or above the shoulder, and the long gun held with both hands. 11. Interpersonal conflicts WILL NOT be tolerated. Failure to observe Match Procedures will result in a minimum 10 second procedural penalty or higher in the case of SASS defined rules. All competitors and spectators must wear eye and ear protection when in shooting areas. Re-Shoots ALLOWED If the shooter s gun jams, ammo failure or other equipment failure results BEFORE the first round is sent downrange. If there is a range failure that prevents the shooter from continuing the course of fire or prevents a score from being recorded. This may be a timer malfunction, a prop malfunction (except as noted below) or a RO intervention halting or impeding the shooters progress unnecessarily. NOT ALLOWED If a prop fails but does not prevent the shooter from continuing the course of fire. If a target breaks or fails while a shooter is on the clock. In such a case, the shooter should discharge the round where the target was originally located and the hit will be scored. Challenge, Appeal and Protest Procedure Match/Posse Officials are the ONLY ones who may judge a shooter. These judging responsibilities range from watching for misses and hits, correct target order engagement, appropriate completion of stage instructions, safety violations, legal or illegal equipment, appropriate ammunition, appropriate dress, and category specific requirements, such as to adequately produce smoke by the black powder category participants. The shooter is the ONLY person who may question a call made by any of the Posse Officials on the line. If a shooter feels unfairly judged by the assigned Posse Officials on any stage, it is important to follow this recommended process and observe an appropriate chain of command.

If there is a question, the shooter should approach the assigned Chief Range Officer (the timer operator) upon completion of the stage after all firearms have been made safe. The use of recoded audio, video or still photography cannot be used to challenge the call of the Posse or Match Officials. Any further challenge must be taken to the Range Master for assistance in the resolution. Any further challenge must be initiated by filing a $50.00 protest fee and completing an OFFICIAL PROTEST FORM. This OFFICIAL PROTEST must be made ONLY to the Match Director. An OFFICIAL PROTEST should only be filed as a last resort AFTER discussions with the appropriate chain of command. The Match Director will appoint a jury to make the FINAL decision. At the NH SASS Championship, the jury will consist of a least three experienced SASS competitors, Territorial Governors, if possible. SAFETY PRACTICES FIRST, LAST, AND ALWAYS All competitors and spectators must wear eye and ear protection when in shooting areas.
