SASS Wild Bunch Action Shooting is a multifaceted amateur shooting sport in which contestants compete with firearms typical of those used in the taming of the Old West just after the turn of the 20th century: 1911 semi-auto pistols, lever action rifles, and 1897 pump shotguns. The shooting competition is staged in a unique, characterized, Old West style.
Contestants shoot in several one-to-three gun stages (courses of fire) in which they engage steel and/or cardboard targets. Scoring is based on accuracy and speed.
Sign in is between 9:00 AM and 9:45 AM, mandatory safety meeting at 9:45 AM. Shooter fee is $10.00.
The Logans Ferry Regulators are affiliated with SASS (Single Action Shooting Society), and SASS Wild Bunch rules apply (with minor exceptions). For information on the hot new sport of Wild Bunch Action Shooting, visit the SASS Wild Bunch Action Shooting website at:

* Leather Holster, Magazine Holders, and Pistol Belt, or Military Canvas Web Belt and Magazine Pouches
* Original or replicas of lever or slide action rifles and carbines manufactured during the period from approximately 1860 until 1899, incorporating a tubular magazine and exposed hammer. Rifles with box magazines may not be used. Rifle must be chambered in a pistol caliber of .40 caliber or larger (i.e., a SASS legal rifle in .40 caliber or larger). Rifles must comply with all SASS Main Match Firearm Covenants.
* Any 1897 Winchester pump shotgun in 12 gauge, original or replica. Civilian or Military style is allowed. The IAC 93/97 reproduction Winchester is also approved.
* Rifle and pistol bullets must be lead alloy only. No jacketed, plated, copper washed or bullets with gas checks allowed.
* The minimum standard for center-fire smokeless ammunition used in all SASS Wild Bunch Action Shooting competitions is not less than a minimum power factor of 150. The maximum velocity standard for pistols is 1000 fps. The maximum velocity standard for rifles is 1400 fps.
* Power factors are calculated by simply multiplying the bullet weight times the velocity and then dividing the resulting number by 1000 (200gr bullet traveling at 750 fps has a power factor of 150: (200x750)/1000=150.00)
* Pistol and rifle ammunition must have a minimum bullet weight of 180gr (11.66 grams).
* Shotgun shot size must be number six lead birdshot or smaller for all events (no steel or plated shot). Magnum and high velocity shotgun shell loads are not allowed.

The weather forecast for Sunday is for clear skies, and warm temperatures, perfect for our July Wild Bunch Action Shooting Match. We hope to see some new faces, and all spectators are welcome.
Our next monthly Wild Bunch Action Shooting match is scheduled for August 5th, rain or shine. There will be lunch provided for all participants (hot dogs and fixings).
If you haven't seen one of these matches yet, you owe it to yourself to at least come out and watch...who knows, you may like what you see.

One week to go till our August Wild Bunch Action Shooting match. The theme for the match will be from the movie "The Wild Bunch". Round count for the match will be 110 Pistol, 50 Rifle, 30+ Shotgun.
A little under two weeks to go till our September Wild Bunch Action Shooting match. We'll be holding the match on September 2nd, starting at 10:00 AM. The theme for the match will be coming from the movie "The Professionals". This will be a six stage match, and the round count will be 100 Pistol, 42 Rifle, 32 Shotgun.
Drop by, take a look, and who knows, you may just like what you see and want to join in on the fun.
As much as it pains us to do so, we are going to have to cancel the September WBAS match due to inclement weather. I've been going through all of the weather services, looking at the forecasts for tomorrow, and none of them are good (60% to 80% chance of precipitation, with thunderstorms). As much as we would like to put on the match, for safety reasons, it's better to err on the side of caution and cancel the match.
Please, pass this along to any of your fellow shooters who may have been planning on attending.
The stages are already written, so, looks like our November WBAS match theme will be from "The Professionals". Our October WBAS match will feature a Zombie theme, since it is Halloween after all, and nothing strikes fear deep in a cowboy's soul like Zombies.
