Frederick Jackson Turner Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 I'm just back, catching up on my sleep after a whirlwind weekend at Cowtown, AZ, after shooting the fun and challenging Arizona State Wild Bunch State Championship. Zona and Barwire did a great job crafting this match; reasonable and occasionally exacting target placement, interesting and sometimes brain-teasing sequences, and lots and lots of variation. And SO MUCH steel! No two stages were the same, there was plenty of variety, and more 1911 shooting than you could shake a Colt at. Everyone to whom I spoke had a great time. I've been away for several years, and I must say, this match made me glad I came back. There were shooters from at least four states; they must know a good thing when they see it! Side note; i had a new shooter along, Ms. Penny Ante, who shot her first WB match. It's a steep learning curve, and folks helped her, every inch of the way. A new shooter, her kit was not yet complete, so in the course of the match, various folks loaned her; holsters, belts, mag pouches, ammunition, rifles, pistols, shotguns, and magazines. She hasn't stopped smiling, in three days. Well done, Zona and Barb; well done, Cowtown, and congrats to all the winners!!!!

J. Frank Norfleet Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Yep, excellent match. Nice to see you and meet Penny. So Two Dot, it would be nice to the results of that match. And, I hope you reached the 80 shooter limit, especially with no WR. JFN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederick Jackson Turner Posted February 16, 2021 Author Share Posted February 16, 2021 Yep, excellent match. Nice to see you and meet Penny. Great seeing you again as well, cowboy. Penny Ante had a terrific time, loved meeting all the folks, and hasn't stopped smiling for - well, four days now. Best wishes, FJT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two Dot Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 J Frank the results will be posted shortly on Cowtowns website. No we didn’t make 80 shooters. We had about 40. We lost about 20 when WR was canceled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tully Mars Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Barbwire and Zona put on a great match as always! It was great fun, the weather was awesome as was the competition! Congratulations to all the winners! Looking forward to next year's match! FJT, Ms. Penny Ante sure looked as though she enjoyed herself, good for her!
