This has been a multi-page discussion on the Cowboy wire. We don't need to keep beating the horse here. Marshal Stone

I am. Shooting the old/new Classic Traditional Elder Statesman I understand over half the shooters switched to Classic. YEEEEEE HAAAAAA !!!!!!!! Others would have but didn't bring the larger caliber rifles when they snow birded. Marshal Stone

Thank you CC for the update.

I don't have one of those either. Although it's mostly because I'm too cheap to buy more holsters. And my holster box is full.

Thinking you could have 1 custom 1911 with the ability to use in WB along with other disciplines with a quick plate change on the rear. At ~$350, that's a deal! Totes

For this topic, let's assume a currently legal 1911 pistol was modified with this rear slide cut and a plate was installed with a known legal rear sight. Would the modified pistol still be WB legal (modern or traditional)?

Thanks!

Thank you!

The Model 25 holds 6….. The Model 12 Featherweight only holds 4.

Howdy Wild Bunch Shooters, By now you should have been contacted by your TG with information about Cowboy and Wild Bunch category changes. End of Trail has decided to offer ALL of the new categories for 2026. The new Cowboy category of Shootist (90 years old +) already has one entrant. If you are not already signed up, you can submit an online application choosing El Ray as your category and then send Sunshine Kay an email asking to change to Shootist. Your birthday must be on or before 2/26/1936. You may also email her and request an email application that you can fill out and mail in with your payment. ALL of the new Wild Bunch categories will now be offered. The existing Open and Ladies categories of Modern and Traditional will have age new designations of Senior (60-69) and Elder Statesman/Grand Dame (70+). Sunshine Kay will be contacting already registered 60-65 year olds and 70+ year olds to ask if they want to stay in their original category or switch to the new one. If you sign up online please pick any category and then email her with your changed category. Four new Wild Bunch categories have been added: Classic Traditional in Open and Ladies, and Classic Modern in Open and Ladies. All four will also be offered in Junior, Senior, and Elder Statesman/Grand Dame in addition to the base category. The Classic categories will return the firearms and power factor conventions that were in effect prior to the last change: Power factor of at least 150, .40 caliber or greater rifle, and pump shotguns of the Winchester 1897/Model 12 type. Sunshine Kay will be sending emails to all currently registered WB shooters informing them of how to change to the new Classic categories if they want. If you don’t hear from her in the next couple of days, feel free to send her an email. As in the above, if you are not registered yet, just pick a category and email her your category change. PLEASE NOTE: We have already ordered awards for the 2026 match. We will make every attempt to add awards for categories as they meet the minimum number of shooters. However, we may not have awards in hand for the Awards Ceremony for all the new categories. We will have stand-in awards for pictures and will ship you your award as soon as it arrives. We hope that our adoption of these new categories, although late in the year, will increase your enjoyment of End of Trail and make it more fun for all. Sunshine Kay’s email is Register@EndofTrail.org

There were major issues with getting signed up for this forum for a long time that have supposedly been fixed. That may be why many people talk about WBAS over there. Others may not even realize we have our own forum.

I guess I have never run into this issue with any of my Winchester pump shotguns. I did even not know it was a issue
