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

VERY Interesting. I can see us testing that out at our next State match... maybe just writing one or two stages with the option to introduce the idea... :)

Thanks all.. As is so common down here the the shop claims they "just" sold it...... :(

Only have one...

G'day folks! I am searching for a gun to shoot Traditional with (finally) and its been hard. I need something with sights I can SEE....and was looking for a Remington R1... but that proved fruitless.. I HAVE found a Colt down here in Australia (at only a moderately eye watering price... ;D) BUT I'm thinking its being misidentified..or at least poorly described. It is advertised as a "Colt 1911 Government National Match" with a serial GV210XXX... I THINK it is just their basic "1911 Classic" (which comes with a "National match" barrel according to the catalogue) and would appreciate any help with confirming what it is based on that GV prefix??? Thankee!

1400 might work for 45-70 but it will be difficult to keep to with .30-06 or .30-40 for Doughboy. My load books dont have data for velocities that low. Get you some Trail Boss! ;D I'm getting 1350 with a 90% full or so case of TB in an 8 x 56R.

Nothing to stop you offering that at club level. At our recent little WB State Titles we offered a Precision side match for "Pre 1945 handguns, other than 1911's" I took my 1912 Steyr along and a bunch of people shot it... (got beaten with my own gun which is the norm when you loan them out! lol) and another guy turned up with a Nagant Revolver. ;D Hope to build on that next year.
