Wild Bunch Trial Stage POSTPONED till Oct Match

[kid ziggy]

Another FYI ... with 1911 that causes many stage DQs:

When moving & re-staging -- the pistol must be in slide lock.   Many 1911s have issues with the slide stop where the slide will not lock open after the last round is fired.   To avoid a DQ, the shooter must manually put the gun in slide lock when moving or re-staging.  The gun can't leave the shooter's hand without being in slide lock.

You do not have to drop the empty magazine when re-staging after the shooting string.   The T.O. will clear all guns on the firing line for our TMM session so the shooter can go directly to the cart after finishing the stage.

I will try to cover most of the rules you need to know in these posts before the Oct match.  That way we should be able to quickly summarize the critical rules on shooting day after the TMM cowboy match.

Here is a link to the Follower & Spring for the 1897.

I looked at the SASS website link to WB.  In the rules section, there is a 2018 summary for rule changes.  I noticed some changes I was not aware of because I have not shot WB this year.   The trend has been to 'relax' some of the rules because it started out back in the day with way too many redundant safety rules mainly because of the novelty (not in a good way) of the whole idea of introducing 1911s to the mix.
