Sorry I meant to ask if orange front sights were legal for 1911s ,not shotguns. ST

Thanks

No Look at my answer above. It lists the approved site colors.

Are Orange Dot front sights allowed in Modern

Dawson Precision makes sights for just about every 1911. Mine is a .090" plain black.

Because there is none. It's only a penalty if there is a live round in the chamber SDQ If there is an expended in the chamber, and the shotgun is staged closed, it's a P for not cycling the action.

Recently at a monthly match had a shooter load 4 rounds in shotgun. The stage called for 2 rounds stoked. At the end of the stage we all noted there were 2 more rounds, one on the carrier and one in the magazine. Seems like there should be a penalty but I can't find anywhere in the SHB where discarding a shotgun with live ammo on the carrier is a penalty. Anyone???

Wayne Novak (Novak sights) has made a gold front for at least 10 years.

I fully support....communication and openness!!!!

Without any hesitation stage 8. Everyone had the opportunity to shoot blazing fast and still be CLEAN. No need for spotters either the target is down or not. Stage 5 could have been more interesting if the shotgun used all three positions. *Comment* As a PM, fun stages for shooters become stressful stages for TO, spotters and PM. "Fun" for me, happens when the stage has elements to consider.

Hi Boggus, It was nice to see you at EOT. I wanted to come back around and talk about all the topics of WB but I had just a few to many irons in the fire. I'm not sure of the time frame you are referring to in the quote above, but the pure hard numbers (which never lie) show a stagnated unmeasurable zero net gain for Wild Bunch from 2012-2021. No growth, beyond ten's of people. I'm very very curious as to all the ideas that were shot down? Please share. Also I'm curious as to whom you feel has no clue, because the direction of WB is being guided by over 100 WB TG's and an experienced WB-ROC. Is your claim that they have no clue??? The "open" category was SASS's attempt in 2022 to create an opportunity for folks to shoot .38 rifles and try WB with their CAS shotgun. It was completely rejected and in a very rude fashion by the old guard. The attempt was not to do away with anything, It was to ADD something. Fast forward to today, and the Classic categories does exactly the same thing just reversed in execution. This or the Open categories have always been part of the growth plan. WB should offer enough options so that almost anyone can find a spot that fits their desire. Again, the numbers are proof of concept. Shoot the game like you want to, there is a spot for everyone. As the new rules launched in 2025, there was a huge, measurable gain with clubs / TG's and matches requesting sanctioning where there were never WB matches in the past. Now with the Classic add, we are seeing another growth spurt. Remember numbers don't lie. I urge you and anyone who has ideas or wants changes, then become a TG or spend some time with TG's and explain your ideas. But just posting rants, (while it's entertaining) it really does nothing for anyone.

My favorite is a 1/8” gold bead. I’m not sure who is producing them at the moment. I’m working on it but the price of labor and gold…

What’s the most popular front sight and where do I get one?

Thanks guys!

It is great what happens when the rank and file get listened to, instead of like days of old told to "like it or leave". Many left. As soon as my shoulder replacement heals I will be shooting many more WB matches. Not having to buy new guns, and having realistic power factors allow me to shoot.

Both pistols are ok. The Queen of Bling uses the SR1911 for both Main Match and a second for backup; WBSHB Pg 18 "Shotgun barrels may have internal choke tubes installed provided they do not extend beyond the muzzle." WBSHB Pg 19 "Front sights may be bead or simple post types. - Mid-barrel sights are allowed and must be the same color as the front sight. - Front sights may be blue, black, steel, ivory, faux ivory, brass, gold, pewter, copper, or silver." No red sights allowed, either optical or stationary, for shotgun.

I believe both pistols would be legal for modern...the shotgun with the adjustable choke I am not sure about...the shotgun with the orange front sight would need to be changed...at least as I read the rule book

PM inbound.

Hi everyone, Just returned from EOT. Great events! Both WB and CAS were well received and had great stage designs. It is notable that the WB targets were a yard or 2 too close in many folks opinion. I agree that the close pistol could have been moved back some. That being said, it was an excellent match and folks had a super time. To the statements about the catagories: Wild Bunch is doing exactly as we hoped, folks have choices and choices are good. 60/40 split of classic and other is fantastic! That means that 40 % are here shooting as new Wild Bunch shooters OR converts of old that wanted to shoot 38. This can also suggest that close to 40%+/- of the shooters were new to WB in the past year. For the record this is a 100% win for Wild Bunch! 164 shooters in the match, folks were happy, I talked to several dozen and they were all thrilled. Land Run 2026 already has 120 Wild Bunch and it's still 9 months away. I know it's very hard for some to see sunshine and joy, but it's impossible to dispute the simple facts. We are growing and its great. Have a great day everyone, CC

Are either or both of these 1911’s legal for WB? black is a Taurus PT1911 stainless is a Ruger SR1911 #6700 and I have two MDL 12’s one has an adjustable choke and the other a bright red fibre optic front sight. Would I have to remove/replace them with a brass bead to use? TIA

Price for the pins & springs?

I like my 38 rifle just fine. Maybe I'll even load some 150 pf loads just for fun. The splits will be the same anyway. I'm never going to understand the obsession with that, I guess I'll see this year since there's going to be so many "classic" shooters.

No body said "no one wanted it" the past regime said "nobody would shoot with the .38 rifle"

Obviously more people shot Classic unless you need some math tutoring. If no one wanted it, why did so many shoot it?

So nothing different.
