Edward R S Canby, SASS#59971 Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 I shot the first half of the Wild Bunch match this morning. Stages were straightforward and well-balanced. My posse (#3) had few procedurals but lots of 1911 malfunctions. However, those fall on the shooter and not the match director. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoss Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Guns and shooting gear checked, double checked & packed. I might have room for another derringer 17 guns 1040 rounds ammo (probably 3x what I need but once at an annual I got carried away at side matches and nearly ran out) plus plenty of BP, percussion caps & balls for plainsman. I reckon I could fight my way in and out if Oklahoma if I have too! now to load up suitcases and get a good nights sleep. Out of here 0500 tomorrow.

Edward R S Canby, SASS#59971 Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 There was rain for the first stage of WB this morning but it quit after less than an hour. The range is not muddy. My posse had more equipment malfunctions and some squibs. One fellow had to abandon his 45 ACP ammo and borrow from others. I was satisfied the guns and ammo I brought all functioned.

Diamond Jake Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I just pulled into a Hampton Inn at the East edge of Fort Smith for the night. Didn't sleep worth a toot last night, with all the dreams of trainwrecks on tough stages. I should check into Land Run tomorrow well before noon.
