Mud Marine,SASS#54686 Life Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 How many pistol, rifle and shotgun rounds in a Wild Bunch match? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boggus Deal #64218 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Depends on the match. My 6 stage monthly match will average 175+ pistol, 50-60 rifle and 40-50 shotgun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mud Marine,SASS#54686 Life Posted April 20, 2020 Author Share Posted April 20, 2020 Semper Fi Cowboy asked me how many rounds are shot in a Wild Bunch match. Since I have never entered one, I asked the wire. That posting is the best answer I can find. I was going to try it but gave my 1911A1 to my Captain son in Iraq to replace his pissant 9mm. I still have my NRA bulllseye Les Baer .45ACP but don't think it qualifies for Wild Bunch. My TO weapon was a 1911A1 but I carried a S&W .44 Rem Mag. My MOS was so rare and so secret that no one could screw with me. That used to drive butterbars crazy!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozark Shark Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Emphasis in Wild Bunch is on the pistol. Since we've gone to 7 rounds per mag, it's not uncommon for a stage to be 28 to 35 rounds of .45 acp with 7 to 10 rifle rounds and 6 shotgun.

That used to drive butterbars crazy!!! As a Ranger, I got around quite a bit. Worked with every branch, especially folks in jsoc. Heard a lot of crazy stories in my time, but to date every single soldier, sailor, marine, or airman that ever uttered similar words turned out to be full of $h!t. But who knows? Maybe you’re the first person to ever have a double top secret extra special nonexistent mos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mud Marine,SASS#54686 Life Posted April 20, 2020 Author Share Posted April 20, 2020 Scored a possible on the ANGCT. Only seven of us had the MOS. Spent my time in crappy little counrres or training. Wrote analyses for HQMC. No hero!!! I had additional MOSs inclluding 8654. Had six years of French in school. I WAS NOT FORCE RECON and had no idea to get into that s--t. I did alphabet work after graduation. Rangers are cute, Seals were UDT during my day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostVaquero Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Ours are similar in round count as Boggus Deal's. Figure 3 to 4 magazine changes per stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger Dan Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Where I shoot we don't get to set up our own target arrays, have to use the same setup as the cowboy shooters use. We limit the 1911 to 4 magazines per stage since most do not have more than 4 pouches. We run 5 stages and at least one of those will have no rifle. Ends up usually 80-90 rounds of 45ACP, 30-40 rounds for whatever rifle you shoot and never more than a full box of shotgun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though technically they aren’t Rangers. They are graduates of Ranger school. There’s a difference that most don’t understand. Either way, respect for them. We had 4 SEALS drop out of my class.

Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Most of us were cute once. How long that lasted varies. As for round count, clubs around here have been between the extremes mentioned above. A lot of difference between 5 stages with 3 mags per stage at one club, and 6 stages with 4 mags per stage at another. When WB went to 7-round mags, I thought fine, the round count will stay about the same but less mag changes. But NO! Pistol round count went up by 40%. Yeah, I know, shooting lots is fun, but just a little harder to keep up with reloading on a Turret press and limited time. With all the ammo and mags (I bring ten), my guncart is a noticably heavier than CAS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mud Marine,SASS#54686 Life Posted April 22, 2020 Author Share Posted April 22, 2020 I met quite a few. Well trained but still Army. Some sad experiences I had over 60 years ago preclude my admiration for Army personnel. As I mentioned, I scored a "Possible" on the ANGCT so my USMC "career" patch was foreordained. My hero is Commander Joseph Rochefort, USN. He was awesome. You might remember him from Midway. He was also screwed by the ring knockers. I knew that would have been my fate so I left to found an investment banking house and serve an alphabet agency as a civilian contractor. I served alone at all times. We had VERY different roles in our services. I had every weird training you could imagine. I never used any of the physical stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noah Jarhead Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 This thread has brightened my day considerably. Our boy joined Army just to jerk my chain and our whole family is military including my wife who was a crew chief on a F something or other, I think it is a plane. We worked with Rangers on occasion plus Brits. Nothing but respect to both. tip of the spear 2nd Mar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WOLFY Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 thanks for all your services (and many of your offspring as well)- i never served but worked with plenty who did in my previous job (SFFD). over the hill at the Judge Roy Bean shoot, they run WB as just another category (except a couple stages go 14 as opposed to 10 pistol shots). So a 1.5 box of pistol, 1 box rifle and 1 box shotgun is usually plenty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
