Off topic, but I suppose as relevant as some of the SCA threads... Any Xmarkers into CAS?

[Standard]

Would like to, but not yet.

Seems I'm riding that same horse... er, hoss. I've sent the local group several emails, but haven't had any replies. If I hear anything I'll keep you posted.

[Mr. MacDougall]

Yeah, I'm in that boat, manning an oar. I don't really have time to be involved in anything much at the moment, but if I ever graduate....

I contemplated it (SASS is related, correct? I think that was the group I was looking at), but mainly because I was into Victorian costuming. I had to put the sewing on hold for now and only have one gown. I'm honestly not sure how much I would have gotten involved since I'm mainly interested in costuming (bustle gowns, etc). Once I get back to sewing eventually, I might consider checking out some events, though.

Its BIG out here in Arizona. I enjoyed the "dress up" part and the gatherings...fantastic outfits. Never bought the firearms though, went for the non-firing replicas.

One cool thing about that World/hobby/sport is a lot of the old time looking shirts go very well with kilts.

I get mine from Wild West Mercantile. Think you just add .com to that and get their website.

SASS is kinda like a blanket organization, in order to shoot SASS events, you must join the organization, $$$$. to shoot CAS you don't have to be a member of SASS, you are dealing with local groups. they are pretty easy going. it does cost some big bucks to get started, in SASS or CAS, not counting costumes you could be looking at a one -two thousand $'s.

Thanks for explaining things I really had not looked into it too much to know the difference between the two. Considering how many gowns I want to do and the fabrics involved, I'm already in trouble budget-wise.

It would be interesting to see what someone could figure out for a kilted "character" for these types of events.

Not really, but I am having a 2 1/2" billeted gun belt customized to use as a kilt belt. I have this really cool Chisholm Trail belt buckle that only fits a 1 3/4" belt. So they are removing the bullet loops and it now becomes a 2 1/2" kilt belt with a really nice buckle.

I've chatted with a few of the members.

We just sent a cape to a competitor in PA.
