I shot an IDPA match today. At the shooters' meeting I talked about WB. We had one IDPA shooter shoot our last monthly WB Match. He had fun and did very well with the pistol. I let him talk about WB and that it is a 'real' shooting sport built around the 1911 with all metal targets and lots of reactive. We are having the SC State WB Match at the end of the month and I invited them to come and watch. I had several say they were going to check it out. It was very positive. So, we shall see if it did any good. We have 44 signed up for the state match, so we are growing, slowly but growing. Hondo

WB is a sport and all sports have rules. In my experience, 5 in the mag is not hurting WB. I shoot IDPA as well as WB and CAS. The dress is what my fellow IDPA shooters tell me is what they do not like about SASS. In IDPA as Sassy stated, you only load ten and that is not a problem with IDPA. 95% of our WB shooters in Greenville come from CAS. 5 rounds in a pistol is what they are use to. It would be difficult for most of them to transition to WB if it were anything else. I believe it is best to leave the rules as they are, shoot the sport and just have fun! Just my 2 cents! Hondo
