Thanks, Chance!

You mean a bulge? If they gauge and work, I wouldn’t worry about it.

They're on the Winter Range site. http://www.winterrange.com/Scores%20by%20Category%20Wild%20Bunch%2002192018.pdf

Allie, actually the rules are quite simple. They give the shooter much more freedom than restriction. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions!

Hello all. If you shot Wild Bunch at Winter Range, make sure to complete their survey. The Winter Range board listens to us shooters. Let them know what you liked and what you would like to see. Thanks, Boggus Deal

As the match director, I saw only good stuff from the rule changes. I think all really enjoyed the 7 rounds in the mag. No on DQed for the Model 12 as far as I know. If anyone knows otherwise, please let me know. As for tactical reloads, everyone I saw try it either got a P or had a miss on the sixth or seventh round. Having practiced it quite a lot before and after the rule change, I can say my split times are not affected very much. Thanks for asking! Boggus

Doc, In 45 Auto with 170 grain bullet, Accurate shows 5.3 as a starting weight. Be careful if you're using this in WB. It may get close to the 1000 fps maximum. 200 grain starting load is 4.8. With the 230 grain bullet, their starting load is 4.6 grains. In 45 Colt, they don't list starting loads but their max load is 6.7 grains.

Warm up? WARM UP? You don't need no stinkin' warm up!!! Especially if that scoundrel Shell Stuffer is coming with you! Seriously, as HJ stated, there won't be time for a warm up at WR. However, on the Friday before the match starts, there is a WB match at Cowtown. I do believe the practice bay will be open at WR on Sunday. I will check and if I find out anything, I will report here. Look forward to seeing you!

Jackaroo, if someone puts a pistol down with the slide locked back and the slide falls and a round discharges, that pistol is in serious need of repair! While a 1911 can be made to go full auto, it ain't easy and a stuck firing pin will not cause it to. A stuck firing pin will not allow the cartridge to ride up the face of the slide and chamber. If you have a stuck firing pin, the only way to load a round would be to single load a round in the chamber and drop the slide. It might fire then but will not chamber the next round. If the pistol fired when placed on a prop, and the slide closing, it would fire when the slide is dropped with the gun in hand. That is for the safety notch on the hammer.

There are three different tenon sizes. And blanks are available.

Well, that's a loaded question, pun intended. Since we start with the shotgun loaded, I think you'll find Wild Bunch faster on the shotgun. I've been able to get six hits in under 3 seconds with gun started on table. With the lack of power factor in cowboy loads, the pistols and rifle will be slightly faster. However, target size and placement will also make a huge difference. If youre talking about a 4' square target at 3 yards, cowboy will be faster. If you talking about any real challenge to target size and placement, well, Wild Bunch will be faster...

Stage Points. It will keep us one step further away from being cowboy with a 1911.

Any hints of what might be changing? Abe, the committee is going back and forth on a LOT of things. As you know, we don't change unless we all agree. Happy Jack's internet is giving him trouble. Not sure when he may see your question.

I did. It's a Rock Island import that isn't 100% square. Overal, they're great guns.

Finished product.

A dovetail front sight cut that doesn't need any welding.

Then there is 1 on 1, 2 on 2, 1 on 3, 2 on 4 and 1 on 5.

The Nasty Sweep. 6 targets. 1-2-3-4-5-6 2-3-4-5-6 3-4-5-6 4-5-6 5-6 6 21 rounds Probably called something else but it's what we call it.

It's happened to me before. The only way to do it is take a reshoot. If a shooter refuses, they are in the wrong. In my opinion, it's a DNF.

That will certainly get you started.

You certainly can't go wrong with Steve at MARS. He is a good, personal friend of mine.

It actually depends on the old sight and slide. Coming from someone who actually cuts them nearly every day, there are some slides with a wide tenon cut in them that does need welding up or it will show. Either way, it will need reblued. You're going to have bare metal showing.

No doubt! I got the better deal!
