IWS, with all due respect, statistical data proves that approx. only 1/3 of all eyewitness testimony of a crime is accurate let alone recall over decades, e.g., "oldtimers" recalling Sharps cartridges of 4 in. that never existed for the time period, etc. The job of the historian is to sift out what "was" from what is believed "was".

  IWS,  et al;

 Joss beat me to the telegraph key this morning , but I think just about covered it all. I believe there are a few out there who are disillusioned with NCOWS for some personal reason (see my previous posts in this thread), And you know the old saying "misery loves company". There is NO movement to take ANYTHING off the approved list. The current E-committee is trying to tie up some loose ends, but there is no desire to move further to the authenticity side. With WC and the originals classes there should be something for everyone

Trap-
I think we have a great organization going here with all things that SASS isn't, but it also becomes a little difficult to entice new shooters to join when there is alot of bickering and perceived 'backpeddling' happening.                                                      IWS

IWS, just how do you think your post helped in anyway to alleviate the concerns of new prospects?  You mention things that I have never heard discussed such as calibers being banned or guncarts.  If you feel that such discussions discourage some who might be interested why didn't you post that on the members only forum?  That is why we started it.  Since you chose to post it on the open forum your motives are suspect.  Since we have pretty well covered the original topic.  I will lock the thread.  If you choose to respond please do so at the members only board...unless of course you have another reason.
