Howdy,

Not sure what category issue is being contested? Is it allowing Outlaw Category or the rules for Outlaw category?

There is precedent for allowing a category of choosing by Match Officials..

"Shooting categories offered at any match are ultimately at the discretion of the Match Officials to ensure the success and viability of each match individually." Copyright© Single Action Shooting Society, Inc. 2019 Version 23.2 pg.11

The rules are listed on the Outlaw website, outlawshooters.com.

The rifle in the Outlaw category can be shot from the hip or from the shoulder......... shooter's choice.   There are no separate categories.  All are shot under the Outlaw category, according to the rules, and revolvers must be shot one handed.

I used to call it "Ultimate Outlaw" when I shot all guns from the hip.  Only happened once or twice as it was difficult to get Outlaws to join me in that style of shoot.  It Will separate the men from the boys.
