Abe E.S. Corpus Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 With EOT coming East of the Mississippi I am hoping to attend my first EOT. Thinking of coming early for Wild Bunch. I’ve heard a lot about Wild Bunch at Winter Range. What can one expect at EOT? What are the usual round counts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrison Joe Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Although no one has posted round counts yet, typical "big match" WB round counts (average per stage) run about 35 pistol, 8 rifle and 7 shotgun per stage. Multiply by the 12 stages they expect to put up, and you can see the ammo needed for the WB match. Then take another 100-200 pistol, 100 rifle and 100-200 shotgun for spares and side matches (which have not been called out yet either), and you know how big the pack mule is going to have to be. Be SURE you have chronographed your loads and calculated power factors for ammo shot from your 1911 and rifle. Big matches always chrono a sample of shooters and their ammo. 160 PF is a good average power factor to "shoot" for. good luck, GJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legendary Lawman Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I don’t need to add too much to GJ’s post. It is much too early to finalize the round count for WB at EOT. There is a huge amount of coordination with cowboy as we must synchronize with their stages, although we plan to move targets out and add targets. Based on the fact that there will be six stages a day, the pistol round count will be a little lower than GJ suggested. The high will be an average of 28 pistol rounds per stage. Take heed of GJ’s comments and bring lots of extra ammo for warmup and side matches. I am sure that the Match Director will get a more accurate round count to everyone well before the match, as well as information about side matches.

Abe E.S. Corpus Posted February 8, 2021 Author Share Posted February 8, 2021 If there is a BAMM match, or other Wild Bunch-related side matches at EOT, I suppose they would be held on Friday June 18 (same day as the WBAS warm-up match) and not on the CAS side match day (Tuesday June 22)?

Legendary Lawman Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 There is every intention of holding a BAMM match and other side matches at EOT. However, with everything that must be put together, these details have not been finalized. It is our hope to have more details in the next couple of weeks. While we may not have too much flexibility, we are looking for feedback. Would WB shooters rather have the WB Side Matches on Friday, June 18, Monday June 21 or Tuesday June 22? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abe E.S. Corpus Posted February 11, 2021 Author Share Posted February 11, 2021 Would the WB side matches be open only to Wild Bunch shooters? Assuming I am able to come up for Wild Bunch it would probably be more convenient to shoot the Wild Bunch gear on the first few days, then switch over to cowboy guns after Sunday. I use the same rifle for both games but will feed it Frontier Cartridge ammo in the CAS warm up stages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legendary Lawman Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 The WB side matches are part of the WB World Championship and thus only open to WB registered shooters. It is expected that a final schedule will be out shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abe E.S. Corpus Posted February 12, 2021 Author Share Posted February 12, 2021 From what I am seeing on the SASS Wire, there will be some WBAS shooters who did not get into the CAS match. I think that weighs in favor of having the Wild Bunch side matches on Friday June 11 rather than the following week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artemus Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Legendary Lawman I would much prefer the side matches happen on Friday. I don't know about others, but since I am only going for WB, my plans are to be there Friday -Sunday and drive back on Monday. I wish we were having the WB banquet closer to the shoot, I would happily stick around a day for it, or even if Monday was the sidematches and Banquet. I ain't holding my breath on the banquet moving though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Head Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Is there a round count for the WB match yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artemus Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 There is a thread in the main forum that has this info called "Round Count for EOT Wild Bunch" https://www.sassnet.com/wildbunch/forum/index.php?topic=2948.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montague Kid Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Will there be any “banquet” or wrap up gathering for the Wild Bunch match on Sunday? It would be nice for those of us who are not staying for the Cowboy activities. I don’t see anything on the events schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Back 40 Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montague Kid Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 That sounds like a plan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artemus Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Yeah, I have to agree it is a bummer that we don't get to be around and congratulate our fellow wild people. When we were on the old schedule in NM I was going to hang around the extra day for the banquet, I can't justify a week. This sounds like a plan.

Back 40 Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 I've had an anonymous shooter come forward and offer to buy 4 cases of iced cold beer. What flavor say you????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montague Kid Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 I just spent the weekend riding ATVs and drinking Utica Club. Which means (if your not familiar with that brand) that I’ll drink anything. I don’t care for IPAs. I’ll be camping and will have some brown liquor on hand as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montague Kid Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 FYI I’m testing the brown liquor now and it works. See you all soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
