HEY!!!!!  When are we going to hear that song?????? 

WOW  THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!

Received a Email from Sunshine Kay this AM and there are 30 more openings for Wild Bunch at 2022 EOT.  So, please pass the word if you know of someone that wants to sign up

THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW  that is AWESOME!!!

The SASS headquarters has sent out an Email survey of EOT.  ALL of the questions must be answered before the survey can be submitted.  For those of you that attended the EOT Wild Bunch match ONLY, just mark the #3 box in the cowboy match questions and indicate that you did NOT shoot the cowboy match. 

Yep, Not only does he take on Match Director position, he wins overall Championship.  Congrats !!!!!

And Half a Hand Henri, Ladies overall champion

I "think" the scores will be posted tonight.  Shellstuffer is there, since he made the shootoff, he should let me know if scores are posted. 

WOW, what a match!!  Twelve stages of some hot and heavy wild bunch shooting.  One stage:  42 pistol.  Man, was it fun.  Yes, it was HOT and HUMID but HEY, Wild Bunch shooter are tough. 

Day one, Friday, was 3 stages of warm up, didn't take long to get warmed up.  We done speed pistol, rifle and shotgun, each after you shot the warm up stage. 

Elwood James did an awesome job on a Teddy Rosevelt and Doughboy stages.  They were really popular and everyone had a blast shooting them.  To cap things off, Artemus Von Schutze organized the long range BAMM match and a Sgt York match, both were very well organized and a blast to shoot. 

Saturday started with a welcome from Match Director Shellstuffer.  After the pledge and a prayer from Mean Mary, we started in on a hot and muggy day with the first six stages.  Some targets were big (cowboy targets) and some targets were small, but everything doable by using the front sight.  The posse marshals were awesome and included Deadwood Woody, Half a hand Henri, Max Montana, and Artemus Von Schutze.  A local church group shagged brass so the stages went fairly quick, but shooting six stages in this weather was starting to take it toll.

Sunday moring arrived with the same hot and humid weather.  Six more stages of some real Wild Bunch shooting.  At this point, I think everyone was ready to be done, thus completing the 2021 World Championship. 

The original match director was Serenity, but was unable to make the match due to Covid Restrictions in Canada.  However, Serenity, along with her able assistant Legendary Lawman, managed to plan the whole match from afar.  All we had to do was implement the process.  This was nothing short of AMAZING on their part.  Every T was crossed twice and every I was dotted twice.  Every detail was completed with utmost accuracy.  Shellstuffer stepped up as Match Director, myself as Chief Range Officier and Elwood James and assistant to both of us.  The crew and Paradise Pass was very accommodating and made our job alot easier. 

The 2022 EOT Wild Bunch Championship will be held in Phoenix, AZ next March and Serenity will be the match director.  Rest assured, she is already making plans for another awesome match. 

 

I've had an anonymous  shooter come forward and offer to buy 4 cases of iced cold beer.  What flavor say you?????

Welcome to Holy Terror

It doesn't look like there is anything scheduled, and I agree with you, it sure would be nice.    We might just have to get some adult beverages and find a big shade tree and have our own banquet.

OH, I forgot, you may use a sling for all WB side matches.
