Logans Ferry Regulators Wild Bunch Action Shooting

[Kiski Cowboy]

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/Model 12 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 8:00 AM and 9:15 AM, mandatory safety meeting at 9:15 AM. Shooter fee is $15.00.

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.

* 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)
