SHELLSTUFFER, NATIONAL WILD BUNCH CHAMPION MODERN

DUSTY DARRYL, NATIONAL WILD BUNCH CHAMPION TRADITIONAL

 

WAY TO GO!!!!!    "THE BOYS FROM ILLINOIS"

....was AWESOME!!!!!!  Great stages    A lot of Pistol  Always great to see old friends and make some new ones!!!    Bogus Deal done a great job as Match Director!!!! 

Yes, Ladies and Gentlemen, we will be giving away 2 Ruger 1911 pistols at the Illinois state match on April 6, 7 & 8.  SO GET THOSE REGISTRATIONS MAILED IN.  OR HAND THEM TO ME AT WINTER RANGE!!

 

 

I would prefer cash from you  ;D

....that got your attention, didn't it.  YES, Free Ruger 1911 to one lucky registered shooter at the 2018 Illinois State Wild Bunch Championship on April 7/8, Sparta, Illinois.  The Kaskaskia Cowboys voted to graciously donate a Ruger 1911 Pistol to the shoot. So, here is how we will give it away. All paid registered shooters will receive one ticket. IF you pay and register by April 1st., you will receive 2 additional tickets. IF you pay and register by March 1st. you will receive 4 additional tickets. Early paid registrations help me considerably with ordering meals, ordering trophies, door prizes, attendance prizes, and printing match programs. All checks for registration will NOT be cashed until after the shoot, thus, if you need to cancel, 100% refund. PLUS, this year we will be having side matches on Friday, April 6th. Fastest 1911, fastest shotgun, and NO Shell Stuffer can NOT enter. PLUS, we will also have a BAM match. Bolt Action Military rifle match. Shot 100 yards. This will be fun!

 

Go to www.kaskaskiacowboys.com  for registration forms. LET'S GET'EM IN!!!!!

THANKS,

PS And thanks a bunch to the Kaskaskia Cowboys for their great donation!!!!!

We ended up with a total of 20 participants, 14 NEW and 6 refresher.  THE NEW POWER POINT PRESENTATION BY LEGENDARY LAWMAN IS AWESOME!!!  I'm sure he had his lovely bride Serenity and probably Happy Jack was involved with making it.  It is GREAT!!  Please encourage others to take the class and/or refresher.        Thanks to ALL!!!!

Dusty, that sounds like a great idea.  How do you start the rifle out?    Empty, with bolt opened, with stripper clip started?

Hope you make it BD!!!

308 pistol !!!!!!!  AWESOME!!!!

To quote Larsen Pottifogger:

 

"This year there are 133 shooters signed up for the WB match which is the most that have ever shot the WB match anywhere in the world. "

 

:)

WE ARE CURRENTLY AT 21 SIGNUPS.    WE ONLY HAVE ROOM FOR A COUPLE OF MORE, SO "IF" YOU ARE INTERESTED, GIVE US A CALL

Shell Stuffer and myself will be holding a Wild Bunch RO class on Saturday, January 27, 2018 at his house in Dix, Illinois, starting at 8:00 am.    Contact myself at back.40@earthlink.net or Shell Stuffer at darrell@donohosfirearmsinstruction.com.  for more information and to get registered.

I agree Marshall Stone.  REALLY looking forward to this match.  There will be 4 "Boys from Illinois" at WR this year.  I sure hope we don't have to beat those "Morales" boys in a side match again.  I think the "strain was more than they could bear" at EOT.  ;D

Thanks BD    We'll probably be there early anyway.  Let me know if there s anything we can help you with.

  Will there be a Wild Bunch warmup match?  If so, what day?(Sunday, I presume)  Try to book rooms.

Thanks in advance

Goatneck, what was the difference of the BAMM sniper and BAMM combat?

Dang Goatneck, sure wish I could have made it down there, (family commitments) sound like a great shoot. 

stage points  (I'm from Illinois, like they do in Chicago, vote early, vote often)

STAGE POINTS!!

This past Thursday, the side match day at the Midwest Regional Gunsmoke, Shell Stuffer and I held a "try Wild Bunch" stage for those that always wanted to, but have never had the opportunity.  We had nearly 60 shooters, "try it"!    WOW, it was great to see their smiling faces after shooting a stoked '97 of Mod. 12 and usually 2 full 7 round mags of .45 ACP.  Over 800 rounds of .45's and over 300 12 ga. shotshells were expended down range.  I think it's safe to say we "set the hook" in a couple of folks.  Big thanks to the Gunsmoke committee for letting us do this.

Just got my Colt back from Boggus.  On a scale of 1 to 10, my new front site replacement is an "11"

I can actually see it now!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Soooooooooooooooo,    that would be shot as follows:

 

1-2-3-4-5-6-1

2-3-4-5-1-2-3

4-1-2-3-1-2-1

 

I would hate to have a stovepipe in there somewhere.

Yep, I like yours better Joe.    Let's go with Illinois Governors Sweep,    5 targets set up like this.
