LATEST UPDATE ON WILD BUNCH MATCH

WILD BUNCH MATCH ORIENTATION GUIDE - RULES AND INTERNATIONAL CONTACTS

Wild Bunch Action Shooting is based on SASS Cowboy Action Shooting with a few major differences. The first difference is the two single action revolvers are exchanged for a 1911 style pistol and 4 to 6 magazines. The second difference is the ammunition. In Wild Bunch Action Shooting ammunition must be of 40 caliber or larger (pistol caliber only) and must have a power factor of 150 from the pistol and the rifle. The shotgun must be a '97 pump action shotgun. The last difference is the targets. Since a higher power factor is used targets MUST be of a better quallity steel and reactive targets can be used without fear of them not working.

Cowboys Helping Cowboys

In the true cowboy spirit the Dalby Pioneers raffled a magnificent hand crafted blanket chest for the Pioneers travelling to EoT 2011. Crafted and kindly donated by Marshal J.W. ( wood turner extraordinaire) the chest drew extensive interest and substantial funds were raised. The chest was won by K. Chard of Dalby and proceeds have been distributed to the Pioneers. A great indication of what a club can do for its members.
