This is definitely on the calendar. Folks if you've never shot Dusty Boddams' sidematches; well you just haven't seen how much fun a sidematch can be.

Who needs one of these!

This is just awesome

Have your applications post marked by Aug 28th to make sure we have your shirt size in time.

Interesting that you got more consistent results with the Moly Coated. I assume all the same primer for Colt as they aren't listed? I only tried Hi-Tek 200 Gr bullets as that's all that I load in 45 Colt, typically Scarlett's or Missouri Bullets CB #4. I settled on a Red Dot load that had a spread of less than 40 FPS. At Following are my results from Clean shot: 5.0 Gr 495, 590, 544, 569, 604, 613 FPS ES: 118 6.1 Gr 778, 703, 759, 810, 702 FPS ES: 108 6.5 Gr 769, 942, 901, 841, 823 FPS ES: 173 The load I use for Cowboy velocity of 4.3 Gr has a ES of 34, and 36 in C45S.

CN Double, after the Illinois state match, it looks like we will have an interesting challenge for modern PCC as well. Bring it along.

Wild Bunch matches tend to be a little short on buckles.....So come get one at Pershing's Pursuit - MO & SouthWest Territorial Championship! Join the Bear Creek Volunteers 9/15-17 in beautiful Branson, MO for a Wild good time. Starting this year, we are going to have Doughboy and Teddy Roosevelt as main match categories. Bring out your M1 Carbines and Thompsons for sidematches that you'll only see from Wild Bunch! More info and Applications at https://bearcreekvolunteers.com/PershingsPursuit.html Discounted room rates through Stone Castle Hotel, dinner will be at a seperate venue. We'll have two stages of Bootlegger and Audie Murphy, there will be pocket pistols, speed matches, BAMM, LR TR, and more! Get your apps in!

I recently switched 45 colt from TB to red dot. Using bullseye for 45 ACP with Clean Shot as a back up. Would not recommend even trying Clean Shot for the 45 Colt at WB PF. It does not like the extra case volume and changes its mind with every shot how it's going to react to it. Smaller cases, it works well.

Planning on being in KS this weekend as well.

I posted a link to it on the WB Facebook group, but here is the link from Cooncan: https://powdercreekcowboys.com/2023-mayhem-at-monticello/

Pershing's Pursuit, or the Wild Bunch match you won't want to miss! Applications are out, and join the Bear Creek Volunteers September 15-17 in Branson MO. If you have ever thought, " I wish I could shoot Doughboy or Teddy Roosevelt as a main match category," Well now is your chance. We are offering those categories to be shot in tandem with the regular categories like Modern and Traditional. We'll even have a few new sidematches, so bring all those extra guns!

Sarsaparilla and I will be there!

Looking forward to it!

Haven't found anything to beat shoe goo.

Marshall Stone, as a Traditional shooter I very much like the sentiment. However I also don't know that I feel that the ROC has made decisions that hampers Traditional shooters or avoided things that might give them more of a competitive advantage. I know there have been a couple of questions I raised from the Traditional perspective, that might not have been forseen, but again never held back because of rules against my category. Opening the possible can of worms, is there something you would really see that would be changed or should be addressed with more "Traditional" representation? We are seeing an interesting uptick in Traditional shooters, I believe ~40% of the shooters at Land Run/Nationals were Traditional shooters.

This is a great match, with some of the best food you'll have at any shoot or otherwise.

Match must really be growing if they are expanding to the top 16 men and women!

Looking forward to it

Hattrick and Memphis Dundee! I guess those Oklahoma boys at least got safety figured out!

Ed Brown feed lips keep opening up on me and prevent a nice fall out. Using Colt Mags now and they have been great.

We are just two weeks away so get those applications in this weekend! Don't forget the fastest clean shooter takes home the custom engraved '97 PershingsPursuitWhosComing 8-24-22.pdf

As a quick update: We have a contract with Stone Castle Hotel in Branson, MO for our Saturday night Banquet and a discounted room rate. Mention you are with the Bear Creek Volunteers and you will receive a $97/ night discounted room rate, that will extend up to three days before and after the match should you choose to hang around and enjoy Branson, MO. This is a newly updated hotel and seems like a great place to stay. $97/night is hard to beat. This is a new location compared to years previous.

Here to say the same, two great articles about Wild Bunch. If we keep this up, we might look like a reputable group and everything....
