The Wild Bunch Wire

Being that she won the 2017 Lady Traditional championship, she deserves a gun of her own. She has been shooting my hand me down.

Hello folks, i was just wondering if any club runs a Buckaroo/Buckarette category at local Wild Bunch matchs? If so, what kind of "accomodations" do you allow for the young ones?

I've tried to post on the Rules forum, receive database error message. Recommendation is to go to admin/support and credits. There I see a message to upgrade from Forum version: SMF 2.0.11 to Current SMF version: SMF 2.0.14 Upgrade the Forum Version? This does NOT seem to be an action that a user should initiate. What's the problem here?

There is one in pretty good conditionfor about $130.

Hi,new to wild bunch shooting. Would a Cavalry hat be period correct for wild bunch Costume?

Is it just me or do the categories results and overall results not add up or match .....AGAIN . We had better sort this scoring system and soon or we will have more to worry about than 5 or 7 rounds in a magazine attracting people to this sport .

I stumbled across these two looking in the pre WW1 era and they both have me intrigued. I have been looking at some on classifieds. The thing about the Winchester SL is that the rounds are virtually non existent any more. The Remi Model 8 in 35 Remington at least has current ammo still made and of course a Browning design. Like I said, just doing some reading but have no experience with these rifles and just wondering if some of the fine folks here have some experience with either. I must admit that once things get much past 1917, they have lost interest to me.

After some range time yesterday, I'm thinking ahead that there might be a demand for a new category in Wild Bunch in the not-too-distant future: the Arthritis Category for those of us who have turned the calendar many times and whose hands are taking painful notice of recoil. Maybe 45 ACP loads below the 150 PF or even better 1911s in 9mm with no PF. Is anybody ready to move into this category other than me?

I'm having a senior moment............... who sells the "load 6" replacement magazine springs and follower?

Over the years I've tried many oils and cleaners etc. that were supposed to be the greatest thing. Anytime that went by with most of this resulted in a slow sticky gun. Some of it useable but some seem to evaporate. Past few years I've been using Lucas gun oil the red stuff in the little bottle. I've noticed that my rails stay wet. Point of the story is I field stripped and cleaned the pistol,a les Baer for the November monthly shot that match dec. was canceled looked at it for Jan. Rails were still wet did not clean it. Same for Feb. and March did not clean it . Took it out and shot it ,got the round count up north of 650 with lead and zero malfunctions. I chickened out…

Is there a preferred or at least more useful barrel length with a shot guns used in Wild Bunch? I have a Model 12 with modified choke and currently a 28-inch barrel I'd like to cut down to something a touch more maneuverable. It's a plenty good shotgun so it might see uses a home defense gun as well. At least in theory. What do you guys like to run for barrel lengths on your 97s and Model 12s?

So what is this range of serial numbers please? thanks In a US arm, price ranges for good guns that will shoot well and have a Muzzle Wear of 3 or less (in other words, still several thousand rounds of barrel life left): * Springfield 1903 - will have open rear sights, and don't buy in the range of serial numbers where there is brittle receiver possibilities -- about $800 - $1000

There is some discussion on the SASS wire about BAM Matches: http://www.sassnet.com/forums/index.php?/topic/263709-bolt-action-military-bam/ Contribute what you can, view to see what's happening in other clubs.

I got to thinking after WB today what about a revolver category? A S&W 1917 or replica (or even the Colt version) with moonclips could probably not be far behind a 1911 with five rounds. Moonclip change out can be almost if not as fast as a 1911 magazine change. A lot of revolver preferring folks around.

What would YOU suggest to get more folks interested in shooting Wild Bunch? PLEASE DO NOT START A PRAIRIE FIRE!!!

Ok all I've got a question. I went to the Oklahoma state wild bunch match a couple of weeks ago and came away really impressed. They had 37 shooters and 18 shooters for bamm. I always make plans to attend this match due to the fun and great friends. What motivates you as a shooter to attend one state level match over another? Proximity Friends Food Course of fire Amount of shooting to little/ to much......if that's possible Prize pool of drawings Side matches Evening entertainment What else? I already know the big reasons for not going would be Time,Money and Health but I want to know what attracts you as a competitor to a certain match.

WOW!!! What a great time!!!! THE BEST WILD BUNCH MATCH I HAVE EVER ATTENDED!!! Thanks to Texas Jack Morales, Last Chance, Boggus Deal, Happy Jack and everyone else is organizing this fantastic Wild Bunch Championship. Plus, had the pleasure of meeting some GREAT people. It was one awesome shoot!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks Garrison Joe for letting me shoot your BAM rifle. Dang, now I need to start looking for one.

Three years into "Wild Bunch" I decided to upgrade from a 97 to a model 12 shotgun. Texas Jack of "Gun Traders", Redmond,Or. provided a sweet "12" and Mark Braid of Boise, Id performed the slick gun-smithing ! Shot the first match with it last Saturday, Tombstone W.B. and it preformed flawlessly! Kudos to both gentlemen for a great shotgun, and quick service.

Grabagun.com has a Remington 1911 R1 for sale for $499. Remington is offering a $100 mail in rebate. $399 for an R1 is fantastic. Just a heads up, no horse in this race. MJJ

Thanks to Back 40 and all of the other workers who put on the Illinois state match. Even tho the weather didn't cooperate they adapted and over came MCJ

Anybody know round count for EOT WB including warmup? kR

This is interesting.

Comanche Valley Vigilantes shoot this weekend. CAS and wild bunch on Saturday and cowboy on Sunday (CAS). If you haven't shot wild bunch in a while come on out, I've got four stages set up and plans for a fifth if the first four go fast...! We'll start on the bank with 20 pistol, 10 rifle and 6 shotgun. Then the Alamo mercantile 20 pistol, 10 rifle and 5 shotgun. Next the Gallows with 10 pistol, 10 rifle and 6 shotgun. And then the Fort with 10 rifle 15 pistol and 5 shotgun. I'm pretty sure after lunch Dusty has plans for a BAM match so if you've never seen one stick around...!!!

This year as last we will offer 2 BAMM side matches at EOT. One will be a Combat Match and the other will be a Sniper Match. The combat match will have 15 rounds. 5 Pistol 5 Rifle and 5 Shotgun shot on one of the Bays on the south end of the range. The Sniper Match will be shoot on the hill at the Long Range location. 10 Shots on targets from 100 yards to 200 yards you will reload as needed. They will be shot on Saturday and Sunday. It looks to be a fun match lots of interest already. Pack your Bolt Action Military Rifles and join in on the fun. The Wobble Trap will be back again this year.............. Goatneck

I would like to congratulate Roy Cassidy and the Circle K Regulators for putting on a great match. Sixty one shooters had fun and challenging stages to shoot. I'm looking forward to next year's match. Great Job!!!! Nawlins
