That looks like a lot of fun. You have come up with some interesting target situations.

The videos of your shoots are the most fun to watch and I really like your IPSC format and stages too. A fine tribute to Wild Bill Hickok!

The hat being worn at 1:30 could double as a shelter. Excellent protection from the sun.
With all the pine trees, it looks like it could be Georgia, USA.

ETA, I like these Lithuanians. They load their sixguns with six shots.
I really like the blonde. Long blonde hair, nice seat cushions, and armed.

medal of honor

Medal of Honor

In 1872, Cody was awarded a Medal of Honor for "gallantry in action" while serving as a civilian scout for the 3rd Cavalry Regiment. In 1917, the U.S. Army—after Congress revised the standards for award of the medal—removed from the rolls 911 medals previously awarded either to civilians, or for actions that would not warrant a Medal of Honor under the new higher standards. Among those revoked was Cody's.

In 1977, Dr. Mary Edwards Walker's medal was restored, and other reviews began. Cody's medal—along with those given to four other civilian scouts—was re-instated on June 12, 1989.[10][11]

As an American of Lithuanian descent (3rd generation born here)... I'd love to think that some of these shooters are distant cousins of mine !

Great video.

Neat video, looks like a lot of fun. Sucks for the guy with the one misfire on the bear stage.

Very interesting. Although I have never participated in SASS type events I never heard of a bear event, so to speak. It looks like everyone was having a wonderful time.
