Second Annual Tri-Discipline Shoot

2012 January and February Shoots

It’s always fun to shoot some different guns now and then even if you do love cowboy shooting. So dust off a few of those guns you haven’t shot for a while and choose one of the two additional disciplines or stick with the good old cowboy, but do come and enjoy a day of fun shooting with us.

The Three Shooting Disciplines:

    1. Cowboy or Cowboy22 Action
    2. Wild Bunch or Wild Bunch22
    3. Roaring Twenties

Shooters will shoot the same targets on each stage regardless of the discipline he/she is shooting. Each stage will have a given scenario for each discipline to follow.

Cowboy Action Discipline:

  • This will be as it always has been.

Automatic 10 second bonus will be awarded to any shooter showing up in his/her appropriate cowboy dress excluding shoes and coat. Bonus may be used on any stage of shooter’s choice.

Wild Bunch or Wild Bunch 22 Discipline:

Primary weapons – pistol, 1911 45 auto w/full length slide and four 7 round magazines, or any 22LR auto with at least two magazines capable of holding 10 rounds each, three would be better and an appropriate belt and holster. A 44 or 45 cal. rifle (lead bullets only) or a 22LR lever or pump action rifle, and a 97 shotgun.

Dress – Some semblance of pre-WWI military clothing for men, eg a campaign hat or a military holster with military type belt (get the idea) or similar clothing worn by Pike in "Wild Bunch" movie, and any 1900 - 1930 clothes for the ladies.

Automatic 10 second bonus will be given to any shooters who come to the shoot in appropriate dress excluding shoes and coat. The bonus may be applied to any stage of shooter’s choice.

 

Roaring Twenties Discipline:

Primary weapons – pistols; any pre 1939 or replica auto of .32 or larger caliber, single action with single stack magazines, 7 round magazines, 8 round magazines are ok and two will be required for each stage. Rifles; any pre 1939 or replica rifle of .32 caliber or larger (pistol calibers only), all Thompson 1927A1 semi-autos with drum or stick magazines of any capacity of 20 rounds or more. No race guns with compensators and/or altered grips. All pistol and rifle ammo must be lead bullets.  Any pre 1939 shotgun of 20 - 12 gage.

Pistol holsters – autos may be carried in vertical (only) shoulder or belt style leather holsters, no plastic or fabric holsters allowed.

 

Special Note about the use of rifles for shooting this discipline – Most stages will require more than 10 rounds of rifle, usually 14 to even 20 in some cases. Now most shooters more than likely do not own a Thompson 1927A1 semi auto with high capacity magazines, therefore shooters can use a pre 1939 rifle or replica of approved pistol caliber, in which case they will need to two rifles with each preloaded with the correct amount of rounds as called for by the scenario.

Dress – any 1920 - 1939 dress attire that represents the type of persona that you are trying to portray, bad guy or good guy, from casual dress of that time to formal Zoot Suit dress. Just as in cowboy dress, your dress portrays your character.

Automatic 10 second bonus will be awarded to any shooter showing up to shoot this discipline in appropriate dress excluding shoes and coat. The bonus may be used on any stage of shooter’s choice.
