November 29, 20232 yr Howdy Wild Bunch Shooters, The following was emailed to all registered 2024 EOT Wild Bunch shooters. I'm posting it here for the widest possible distribution. As the entity that produces End of Trail, the SASS World Championship of Wild Bunch and Cowboy Action Shooting, The Arizona Territorial Company of Rough Riders has a contractual obligation to operate under the most current SASS rules and conventions. Misty Moonshine has confirmed to us that the World Championship Wild Bunch match at End of Trail 2024 will be governed by the “Wild Bunch Action Shooting Analysis and Action Plan” which was released November 1, 2023, and scheduled to go into effect January 1, 2024. The exception will be that Teddy Roosevelt and Doughboy will not be Main Match categories. Also, as specified in the Action Plan, there will be no “Open” category. The Arizona Territorial Company of Rough Riders promises to continue our commitment to bring you the highest quality event and the “Best Cowboy and Wild Bunch Action Shooting Matches on the planet”. We thank you for, and greatly value, your continued support. Rattlesnake Slim, President Arizona Territorial Company of Rough Riders Edited November 29, 20232 yr by Rattlesnake Slim
November 30, 20232 yr Be interesting to see the numbers of shooters that cancelled their entry and those who signed up because of the new rules. Marshal Stone
December 1, 20232 yr There will be a lot more cancel because it’s not the sport they want to shoot than there will be people who sign up to shoot because of the new rules. They’ve already been making excuses for not shooting.

Not the number of shooters who dropped out or were added in as a result of the new "action plan". They aren't even rules yet. Marshal Stone
December 2, 20232 yr Author We continue to get both applications and refund requests on almost a daily basis. The refunds are processed according to our published refund policy, except Wild Bunch shooters are not being charged the $25 refund fee due to the changes since they registered. Most don't give a reason and we never ask. There are no meaningful numbers to share.

Slim, the meaningful numbers will be the fact that for the last several years Wild Bunch had a cap on number of participants with a waiting list and this year it likely won’t sell out. Like cowboy attendance dropped about 200 in 2023 compared to 2022.
