Obviously more people shot Classic unless you need some math tutoring. If no one wanted it, why did so many shoot it?

Just like the title says. Thanks in advance.

Simple. Because that’s not what real shooters wanted or want now.

For years, a lot of us offered ideas. They were shot down by people who never shot Wild Bunch and had not then, and still have, no clue. I will not stop criticizing the current status because when adults ran the organization it grew. Now, not so much… If it were growing as some claim, why were the “Classic” categories created?

Because it’s not a shooting match. It was cowboy with a 1911 and who really wants to shoot that? When you can close your eyes, lean forward, bump the target with your muzzle and pull the trigger? What’s shooting about that?

Like Joe, I got rid of questionable brass years ago. With Wild Bunch loads, you should never have to worry about loose primer pockets. You’ll crush brass or lose it before primer pockets get loose.

A covered up optics cut looks better than a light rail…

Tell me about it!

Seen, handled, shot.

He’s not talking about the front sight or the ports. He’s talking about the rear sight. The rear sight dovetails to a plate and by changing just the plate, you can mount several different sighting options. With the Novak style rear sight, it would not add any weight to the gun. If anything it might take a little away.

It wouldn’t add weight. 😏

Are you looking at the same picture? Obviously, the front sight dovetails into the slide. And neither the barrel nor slide is ported.

That looks like a Novak sight cut. As long as there is no optic mounted, Novak sights are legal in Modern. Obviously, it can’t have a fiber optic either.

Yes, sir.

He is referring to the 1911.

Wild Bunch was growing. All the big matches were filling up and selling out every year. Raise the cap and it would still sell out. After the “new” rules, none of them fill up…. Had to go back to the old rules.😏 New Wild Bunch shooters need to come from other disciplines. Cowboys coming over doesn’t bring in new member dollars. But it has to be appealing to other disciplines and advertised there. I’ve never Wild Bunch promoted anywhere outside the chronicle.

Won’t ever happen! Hell, there is a contingent that’s wants to go back to five in the mag. They can’t count higher I guess. 150 PF is what worked for years. When the 60 pf didn’t, they had to go back. I’ve heard that 80% of the registered shooters at EOT switched to classic…

Ha!

If you’re still wanting one. I think I have n extra. And since I’m not staking another one, it will be for sale. Dovetailed is the only way to go.

Happy New Year to you!

It really used to be a LOT clearer. But the writers of the new rule books don’t quite understand.

There rule book is pretty clear….

Merry Christmas to all you reprobates!

Can’t make up rifle or pistol…

Both of those are for a specific purpose on Remington shotguns and likely wouldn’t work on a tube with a dent 4-6” down the tube.
