All firearms are to be handled ONLY in the following designated areas: - Safety Area. - Load and unload tables. - At the firing line with the RO present. If you need to work on an EMPTY gun, do it in a safety area only. - Note that no ammunition is permitted in a safety area. All SASS rules apply to this match. All long guns must be carried with the muzzles up. Pay careful attention to your muzzle direction at all times. Dry firing your guns at the load and unload tables is prohibited. Do not pick up a dropped live round. Someone will retrieve it for you. A round fired over the berm is an automatic match disqualification. The shooter is responsible for the staging of their guns. A staged gun that falls is a dropped gun and is subject to a penalty. Wait for the timer beep to start your stage. Knockdown targets must fall and swinger targets must swing to count. Do not chamber a round until the gun is pointed safely down range. Once a pistol is cocked it must be emptied at the line. This is a no alibi match. Once you chamber the first round you are committed to completing the stage.
Cowboy port arms is defined as standing fully upright, the butt of the rifle or shotgun at or below the gun-belt and the muzzle at shoulder level or higher, both hands on the gun and the finger is out of the trigger guard. Everyone should get involved in the flow of the match, be a spotter, pick up brass, monitor a table or keep score. Make sure to get to the loading table before your turn. Next 3 in line only. At Cowboy Action Shooting matches we do not shoot and scoot. Please stay after the match to help, in any way you can, with putting away the targets and props. The range area must be cleaned up. We take pride in being good range users. Remember that safety is always our first priority. We are all safety officers.
Sometime in the near future a high-tech, highly-realistic adult amusement park called Delos features three themed "worlds" West World (the American Old West), Medieval World (Medieval Europe), and Roman World (the pre-christian city of Pompeii). The resort's three "worlds" are populated with lifelike androids that are practically indistinguishable from human beings, each programmed in character for their assigned historical environment. For $1,000 per day, guests may indulge in any adventure with the android population of the park, including sexual encounters and even a fight to the death, depending on the android model. Delos' tagline in its advertising promises "Have we got a vacation for you!" One of the attractions in West World is the Gunslinger (Yul Brynner), a robot programmed to instigate gunfights. The firearms issued to the park guests have temperature sensors that prevent them from shooting humans or anything else living, but allow them to "kill" the "cold-blooded" androids. The Gunslinger's programming allows guests to outdraw it and "kill" it, always returning the next day for a new duel. The technicians running Delos notice problems beginning to spread like an infection among the androids: the robots in Roman World and Medieval World begin experiencing an increasing number of breakdowns and systemic failures, which are said to have spread to West World. The failures escalate until Medieval World's robotic Black Knight kills a guest in a swordfight. The resort's supervisors, in increasing desperation, try to regain control by shutting down power to the entire park, but this traps them in the control rooms, unable to turn the power back on while the robots run amok on reserve power.
