H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619 Posted June 9, 2024 Posted June 9, 2024 I am about 90% certain I'm gonna try to go to Guns of August again this year. (Hopefully, I won't get another KABOOM Award) Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone could tell me what the likely side matches will be. I want to know what extra ammo to load up. I am assuming Speed This, Speed That, and Speed the Other Thing, but am wondering if there'll be anything else.
The Cumberland Kid Posted June 9, 2024 Posted June 9, 2024 Usually GOA has side matches that include pistols, rifles, shotguns, pocket pistols, derringers, and long range rifles. Years past they have done cowboy trap and skeet, but I don’t know if they still do that or not.
I. M. Crossdraw, SASS# 8321 Posted June 10, 2024 Posted June 10, 2024 You can contact Seven Mile Tom or Lassiter of the Big Iron Rangers. They may be able to help you.
Seven Mile Tom Posted June 11, 2024 Posted June 11, 2024 Here is a list of side matches from last year GOA. They should be the same for this year. Side matches Pocket pistol – 10 RNDS. Derringer – 6 RNDS Speed Rifle – 10 RNDS Speed pistol (duelist, GF, traditional) – 10 RNDS Speed Shotgun (pump, lever, double & hammer double). – 6+ RNDS Long Range Rifle - Pistol Caliber – 10 RNDS Long Range Rifle - Rifle Caliber – 6 RNDS Long Range Rifle – Single Shot – 10 RNDS Long Range Rifle – Quigley Pail – 10 RNDS Long Range Rifle – Teddy Roosevelt – 5 RNDS Long Range Rifle – BAMM – 15 RNDS***REFER TO SASS WILD BUNCH RULES FOR LOAD LIMITS *** There is also a 4 stage wild bunch match and a 4 stage warmup match.

Thanks, Seven. This'll work well for me. For TR, I'll use the 95. For BAMM, I'll use uhm... Well, logic says I should use the 1903 for various reasons. Or maybe the SMLE. But I REALLY like shooting my Krag. Oh, choices and decisions!
