Hummm.

I must have an incorrect schedule.

Turquoise Bill posted an updated schedule on the wire yesterday and I am not able to find that meeting, on that schedule.

What I see is the Cowboy TG meeting.  No mention of WB.

The original meeting has been removed

Hopefully you are more informed than I.

I was reviewing the latest schedule for EOT.  As far as I am able to see, the WBRO Instructors meeting has been removed.  Is this true?  

Will this class be using the Yet-To-Be-Released new materials?

Well, this weekend I will test it after our club cowboy match.  I will be shooting lightly loaded 125/147/158gr loads at both enclosed and open stages to see if out timers pick them up.  (I don't have any 105gr bullets, but the 125s are laded pretty light -- 2.5gr of Titegroup.)  

Somehow I don't think that 177/180gr rule is going to end up being applied to .38s.  Don't know anyone that loads bullets  that heavy.

 

Excellent!!!  If possible include photo of where the timer was located.  Especially if it fails to record the shot.  Also, ifm possible, see what it takes to get a 150PF rifle to fail.  My mouse farts are 105 gr with 2.5 grains of clays.

Which is one of the reasons why the .38 should not be allowed at state or higher matches 

Respectfully I disagree.

It is the reason to have skilled TO's.  Why would a state match or higher want a adequate-at-best TO? 

BTW I am not commenting on allowing 38SPL.  That is for a separate post..

IMHO, rifle not last is an indication that the TO needs replacing.

TO's do your job!!!  hold the timer to pick-up the rounds.

Our club has a few shooters that use 38SPL mouse-farts in rifle (including me).  By holding the timer correctly they are ALL recorded.

I have seen many TO's holding the timer low and away from the shooter.  Really!!  Yeah, mouse-farts will NOT be recorded.

Eight days

The shooter gift was a 8 rould custom 1911 magazine engraved with 2021 Nevada State Wild Bunch.

The three day match ended Tuesday.  Sunday started off with speed events.  By far the most popular was speed pistol.  The course of fire for the five pistol targets was outside targets, then inside targets then double tap middle for six rounds.  Repeat pistol using rifle targets.  Oh yea, I should mention that the magazines were loaded with exactly two rounds each.  1911 skills were put to use.  Magazine changes, reengaging targets and double taps and target distance.

Side match winners

Molly Magoo       Speed everything

Nasty Nels           Speed Pistol

The two-day match had five stages per day.  Everyone was able to shoot many reactive targets.  Two Texas Stars, dueling tree, shotgun knockdowns (for pistol), plate rack, stationary clay birds, popping clay birds, pipes, swingers, hostage taker, and many plates.  You should check out the stages posted at

http://www.northernnevadacas.com/html/scores.html

In addition to the Nevada shooters, there were shooters from Utah, California, Oregon & Hawaii.  A total of 28 shooters.

Lunch was served on both main event days.  Sue Scott, Mary Lou & Nevada Starr prepared deli style croissant sandwiches on Monday, Round Table Pizza for Tuesday.

Awards to three places were a custom (large) silhouette of 1911 pistols, on a granite base.

While there check out ALL the scores and state champions.

Many of the Wild Bunch shooters are staying the week to shoot the 25th annual ROOP County Days.  Another 4 days of shooting most every SASS gun you own.  The main match has 12 stages of Big Bore firearms, black and smokeless.  Again, check out the event at the above web page.
