This. I would go further and suggest forcing inexperienced shooters to shoot duellist style or WEAK HAND could border on the unsafe. Certainly "unfun" for those not comfortable with it. Which sort of defeats the purpose of the game surely? No offence to the other poster, but I don't see the relevance of police type training to a recreational activity. LOL..I'm a HALO qualified military jumper but I don't expect civvie Skydivers to jump with equipment packs!😉

One presumes DB/TR are competing only within TR or DB. Which is how the normal match is, in essence. I know we have an "Overall" winner announced...(which TBH has always struck me as a bit odd in both CAS and WB given the handicaps some categories inherently have) but Traditional competes against Traditional, Modern against Modern for category awards. How is this any different? Ranges that can't have it won't. Those that can, will. The use of ONLY LEAD bullets removes some restrictions... WB does have a Rifle side match..its called BAMM.

We had a real famine of powder supply Down Under 2 years ago....(easing now somewhat)... I got hold of Vectan A1 back then and have been MORE than pleased with it in the 45. 4.2 gr under a 200 RNFP

Ive always thought bayonets should be MANDATORY on trench guns...😄 They look so cool....

All good thoughts so far. And besides the Condition One start, movement with the pistol in any condition would be fine by me too. (Full disclosure, I also shoot IPSC! 😄) A reasonable PF for 38 Rifles for sure... 125? Its pretty standard elsewhere.. TOTALLY agree with allowing WWII rifles rechambered to other SUITABLE calibres... I think of that as an "Internal modification" LOL

Just curious. We have shot DB as a 2 stage side match, and its a HOOT...must be awfully good fun as a match category...

OK! Waited a year but now I can do that same trip! NM State WB and the BC Provincial IPSC. (And a big IPSC match in Poland too...lol..hey..haven't travelled for 2 YEARS!) Waiting with baited breath for details... ;D

THIS!

Fair enough. But if you are shooting CAS stages on CAS targets at CAS distances...it ain't Wild Bunch. Not as I know and like it.. and how the rule book states it is intended to be...

As already mentioned...very useful in SOME circumstances. My decision to do so (or not) is based on whether the tactical reload simplifies the engagement sequence, or complicates it. ;D I don't do it just because its possible... Elwood James gave an excellent example...another would be on a double tap sweep of 3 targets for 14 rounds... 6 then 8.

Me too! I used to have a CD of a number of FJT's songs.... but it is long gone... :-[

The struggle is real!!! :D

Nah Mate..we are still not allowed to travel...... bloody COVID... We have a Wild Bunch side match (3 stages at least) at our State CAS match in a few months...I'm planning/running that one and will try to make it something special!

Was planning to come over for that..and go on to British Columbia for their Provincial IPSC match.... Sigh. Next year??????

Or if the Stage requires the pistol to be staged in a box/container or something of that nature.... Why yes, I AM evil, thanks for noticing... ;D ;D
