May 8, 20215 yr WOW, this is why I love Wild Bunch: Main Match Pistol 322 Rifle 68 Shotgun 76 Also, you will need ammo for the 3 stage warmup. side match speed pistol, speed rifle, speed shotgun. PLUS, if you haven't had enough, The new Teddy Roosevelt long range, (Damn, gonna have to buy a another gun) the Doughboy stage, the Sgt. York stage and the BAMM long range. Side note: Things to practice, shotgun reloads and rifle, (Yes, rifle) reloads. As far as I know, there is still open slots for EOT Wild Bunch. UPDATE ON ROUND COUNT FOR EOT WILD BUNCH !!!!!!!!!!! PISTOL 336 RIFLE 61 SHOTGUN 70
May 10, 20215 yr Out of Greenhorn curiosity, what is the Sgt York stage and how does it differ from Doughboy? Doc sends.
May 10, 20215 yr Author I'm going to defer that question to the experts: Elwood James and Dusty Boddams
May 10, 20215 yr Sgt Alvin York was awarded the Medal of Honor for an attack during the Argonne Offensive in France in WWI. He used his rifle to clear a German machine gun nest, and was then charged by 6 German soldiers with bayonets. He drew his pistol, and shot them all starting with the last one in line and working forward. This side match honours his actions. You start with your BAMM rifle and 5 rounds of ammunition, and shoot at long range targets. You then switch to your pistol, and with 6 rounds engage the pistol targets starting on the back one and coming forward. We have not finalized distances but at Winter Range last year, the rifle targets were set at 100 to 150 yards and the pistol targets from 40 to 70 yards. Serenity
May 11, 20215 yr I am familiar with the SGT York MoH action, and have walked the ground east of Chatel Chehery in the Argonne. Actually I thought up the same stage for our club -- sponsoring the State Wild Bunch Match in September. But the stages had already been designed.
May 11, 20215 yr I read the Handbook language about BAMM/Doughboy ammo. Will the EOT instructions vary from the lead bullet requirements? I can bring a K-31 and/or a 1903 Springfield, assuming my work schedule allows me to make it for side match day. I am not set up to load either cartridge. Is there a source for EOT compliant ammunition for these rifles?
May 11, 20215 yr Yes, all bullets must be lead for EOT. Rifle caliber bullets for long range side matches and Teddy Roosevelt and Doughboy may be gas checked.
May 11, 20215 yr Abe, I know HooDoo Brown loads for both your rifles. His loads are mild and effective. You could contact him at 432-661-3745 after you shoot these rifles with reduced loads to quote the immortal Texas musician Bob Wills “ you’ll be a ding dong daddy, baby”🤠
May 12, 20215 yr If side match scenarios are approved: Round count for Doughboy will be 21 pistol, 5 shotgun and 10 rifle. Round count for Teddy Roosevelt will be 21 pistol, 5 shotgun and 7 rifle.
