    Better than that full bottles on our raffle prize table. The double oak is like 102 proof and smooth, very good.

    The Saginaw Showdown is proud to announce Winchester Bourbon as one of our sponsors for the 2026 Michigan Wild Bunch State Championship. I have personally been to the distillery and sampled both the original and doubled oak. The bottle itself is a great display piece. Bottles can be purchased and shipped directly. Visit www.winchesterbourbon.com for more info. Come shoot with us and try to win some from our prize table. Applications now available.

    Never heard of anyone ever wanting to shoot one of these in 20 years of wild bunch. Probably because the 1st one was manufactured in 1949, 30 some years after the time period of the wild bunch. Rules are now it is not legal. Bring it up in the TG forum and see if it gets any traction. I am sure we will be discussing it at the next ROC meeting as well if there is significant interest. When I looked at gunbroker it looked like these were more expensive than a model 12. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1138024614

    They are side match categories starting the first of the year, you will hopefully see these side matches more at state championships and above that have the facilities/range requirements.

    I shot the a State Wild Bunch Championship couple of weekends ago and TR/DB were not offered there nor has it ever been offered in the main matches in my area. Bamm was offered as a side match at the cowboy state shoot. Many of the clubs around here have less than 25 yard bays so it is tough for local/state matches. I see TR and DB as more of a side match as not every club can accomodate the distances for every bay. I shot TR as a side match at land run a couple years ago and it was a fun side match same with BAMM, something different for sure. If you have the long bays and have a match director that wants to write in separate senarios for TR/ DB then recognize the catagory in a main match and advertise it is available or alternatively if you don't have 10 long range bays and just one have it as a side match with an award. I personally just don't see it feasable to be shot in every main match for every state due the the length of the bays varying by different clubs. All for it as a side match for those of us that only have one 100 yard bay. Maybe we should come up with some standard side matches and more guidelines for wild bunch side matches. Such as you can shoot the speed events all day and not just the 1st time through counts for score or if there is a limit make it 10x not 1 or 2 or 3. Many of us are just getting warmed up by the 3rd run... or have BAMM, TR and DB side match offered for those clubs that can accomodate it. TR and DB are new to many so a listing of what guns are legal would be nice too.
