Mar-Lynn and I are going to have to think long and hard about shooting Wild Bunch next year with the date changes. You say that some shooters don't want to shoot Wild Bunch first with having to shoot a National Cowboy Match after that. Well, my friend, that is a two-way street. One day of warm-ups, one day of side matches, three days of main match cowboy stages and top all that off with a late-night banquet, I would hate to think I would have to get up the next morning and shoot five intense stages of Wild Bunch to the best of my ability. At least with the way it was there was a bit of a break between Wild Bunch and Cowboy, and it gives you a chance to get back into the cowboy swing of things before the main match starts. Not to mention the extra days of travel and days off work most everyone will have to take. I sure hope that the powers that be will consider changing it back before it's too late because I feel it will have a negative effect and that the attendance for the Wild Bunch match will suffer.
