Irish♣Gypsy & Double Down Dan

Irish♣Gypsy-- Alias: Being half Irish & half Czech; it's a blend of the two worlds describing both heritages.

Interest in CAS: It all started in Dec 2000 at a gun show in Houston . I wondered up to the CAS table hosted by THSS (The Historical Shooting Society). After an informative discussion, they directed me to an even more motley, scroungey crew across they way.  I first shot in February 2001 and have been hooked ever since.

Interest in CAS: I went with "Double Down Dan" to a shoot in March 2001, and have been hooked since.

Most Memorable Moment: It was my first big shoot and I had only been in CAS for 3 months when I ended up Mono-a-Mono with "Cowtown" in the Master Gunfighter shoot-off. I was so scared and even though I lost to him, I will never forget the support and the cheers of all the shooters standing behind us as we finished our final volley. Yee-Haa!!!!

Double Down Dan—Alias: I was taught my sums up to 21 by playing Black Jack with my mother. A specific bet can be made in Black Jack where the player "doubles" the original bet & takes only one hit hoping to beat the dealer this is called a Double Down. Dan is short for my real name Daniel.

Most Memorable Moment: It was my 1st big shoot and I was making many a trip to the award stage. Over & over again, I had to be coached out of my seat & to the stage. What an experience & I was told that if I didn't get every shot of wife accepting ALL of HER AWARDS that night, I would be in deep stuff. Of course you are aware that I LOAD HER AMMO.

Double Down Dan's most Deep Dark Secret: I've been known to shoot faster than Tequila, out bellow Roy & Gene, and successfully navigate my way through any scenario...Ok, I know that is ALL BS, but if I told you the truth my doctor said some of you would be frightened & wouldn't let me play with you any more. Now we don't want that do we?

Big John & Kate Wyatt

Alias: "Big John Wyatt" - My alias is a combination of "John Henry Holiday" & "Wyatt Earp", because I am a huge "Wyatt Earp" fan & Tombstone history buff.

My interest in CAS: I stumbled across CAS on the internet while I was looking for "re-enactment clubs". After some research on the net, I decided I would like CAS better; after searching a bit I knew this was what I wanted to do so I shot my first match in June 2001 and haven't looked back since.

Most Memorable Moment: My 1st shoot really. I had only the "Green Rookie Supplies", ya know...one of each weapon, and "regular loads" for ammo. Well, of course there was a stage that require 4 pistols, so I needed to borrow. My posse pardners were gracious enough to let me borrow whatever was needed, including ammo. Now, there was a scenario that I will never forget at the same shoot...yep, the dreaded 12 shotgun shots. Well let's just say that I feeling that for about two weeks, as that I was shooting Heavy Dove Loads without a recoil pad. Dutch Dave soon jumped to my rescue with a little hint before the next monthly shoot...Yep....Featherlites!!! Thanks Dutch Dave!!

Hobbies: I have started collecting Pocket Pistols.

Alias: "Miss Kate Wyatt " - Well you'll have to ask my husband...We were at home, he was on the computer (SASS Wire), he looked up at me and said, "Oh by the way, we are now SASS members. Your alias is " Kate Wyatt " and your number is 38826." That says it all, don't ya think?

My interest in CAS: My husband. When he told me he wanted to get into CAS, I thought it was going to be "another hobby he wouldn't stay interested in." Well guess what, he has and it's been downhill ever since. I started shooting in November 2001 and like Big John, have looked forward to all the fun and friends we have made in CAS.
