Will Lynchem

I'm glad to see that the web site is finally up and running. Samuel, I personally wanted to thank you for the great job you did as posse marshall. You are a complete professional and next time I make it to Winter Range, I pray that I am on your posse. Looking forward to shooting with you in the future. Sincerely, Will Lynchem. PS. I loved the Wild Troll badges you made. I will wear it on my hat with honor! W. L.

I couldn't agree with FJT more! It was a great match! Looking forward to doing it all again. W. L.

Chronographed all loads and case sized each load by hand. I'm aware that this is the "big show", I'll be sure to bring my best! Thanks again, looking forward to meeting all of you Cowboys in a few days! Sincerely, Will.

I posted this on the other forum but was wondering if Wild Bunch is a lost brass event? Just trying to figure out if I should bring my old brass ammo and leave the brass bag home. W.L.

Roy, I think you had me down for speed rifle on Tuesday after the main match. I'm still in for that one. W. L.

Again, gentleman, thank you for your advice. It's well taken. The one rule I have always lived by while shooting is safety first. I would really hate to travel all the way out there and spend all that money just to get DQed on a safety violation. So looking forward to doing this and meeting you folks. Sincerely, Will Lynchem.

Thank you gentleman for clarifying that. I have shot in matches in three states and every one has different rules. I'm greatly appreciated for the info before I make a major mistake at winter range. Thank you again, sincerely, W. L.

Maybe I am just over thinking this with a case of pre "big match" jitters but I have seen three ways to clear and place your 1911 so you can move on to the next gun in that stage. I've read and reread the rules and know when moving on to the next gun in a stage your 1911 must be placed on the stage table, pointing down range, with the slide locked back. When shooting a stage where it is necessary to shoot knock down targets and the targets must go down, im assuming that you can engage those targets until they all go down or you run out of ammo. My question is, if you load an extra magazine to do this and you knock all the targets down but still have one or more live rounds in the gun, can you or do you, A. Manually eject all remaining bullets and lock the slide back? B . Drop the magazine then eject the round in the chamber and manually lock the slide back? C. Safely discharge the remaining rounds down range, let the slide lock back on its own and move on? D. Any of the above? I have seen all of these things done at different local matches but have never been clear as to if they are all legal. Thanks in advance, Will Lynchem.

Roy, I know I have committed to helping out on long range rifle, (I also have a spotting scope) but if after that you need help elsewhere, I would be happy to help out any where I can. W. L.

Im new to wild bunch shooting but have been reloading 45ACP for years now. When I switched to reloading lead bullets for cas, I ran into the same problem. What garrison joe and boggus deal posted are right on target. (Pun intended). But as a note, for myself, I found that I get much better and more consistent results using a Lee factory crimp die instead of a tapered crimp die. It does not roll the leading edge of the case over as much and you get a better fit to where it rests in the barrel. I also check every load with a case guage. If it fits into the guage, I've found I have yet to have a feeding problem. Works for me! Good luck and happy & safe shooting. W. L.

Thanks Alli, luv u too! Hope to see you out there. W. L. :)

Thanks a bunch, looking forward to meeting and learning a thing or three from all you folks. C-ya at Winter Range! W. L.

I would be pleased to help out. Count me in. I will get together with you on monday then just point me in a direction and give me a push. W. L.

First time at an event this size but I'm a quick study. Not planning to participate in side matches so if there is anything I can do to help out, l would be happy to do so. W. L.

Good evening gentleman, I just discovered this forum and thought I would sign up. My name is Dennis and my Sass alias is Will Lynchem. Sass # 99703. I've been shooting CAS for just under 2 years but have a long shooting history as well as reloading and competing in long range silhouette, 600 and 1,000 yard bench rest. I think I just got bored with punching holes in paper targets that you can't see with the naked eye. I now mostly shoot Western 3 gun with the Deadwood Boys and now Wild Bunch with the Hole in the Wall Gang out of Piru Ca. I also shoot sass with the same people and with some really nice folks out of Ojai Valley gun club. Now that thats over, I am planning to attend Winter Range for the first time this year. I have never shot in a big event such as this. Only local monthly matches. I don't want to step on any toes, so I'm asking for any advice on what to do or not to do to get through this relatively unscathed. I've already been told to shot fast and don't miss. As for me I think I will shoot slow and safe and hope I hit something! But if any of you veterans have any words of wisdom, I'm all ears. Well thats it, looking forward to meeting some of you at Winter Range. Sincerely, Will Lynchem.

Looking to take a Wild Bunch RO course while at winter range. I am registered to shoot W B and was wondering if there is going to be a chance to take a class while I'm out there. I won't be in Phoenix until Saturday the 20th but after wild bunch match on Monday, I will be open the rest of Winter Range. Thanks in advance, sincerely, Will Lynchem. Update, I believe that I will be giving FJT a ride to winter range this year and I will be shooting with him this weekend. If I can talk him into leaving a day earlier, I will be there for the class. I've already reserved a camping spot at the Pioneer RV park. C-Ya there, W. L.
