SAFETY & PROCEDURES

All firearms are to be handled ONLY in the following designated

areas:

- Safety Area.

- Load and unload tables.

- At the firing line with the RO present.

If you need to work on an EMPTY gun, do it in a safety area only.

- Note that no ammunition is permitted in a safety area.

All SASS rules apply to this match.

All long guns musty be carried with the muzzles up.

Pay careful attention to your muzzle direction at all times.

Dry firing your guns at the load and unload tables is prohibited.

Do not pick up a dropped live round. Someone will retrieve it for

you.

A round fired over the berm is an automatic match disqualification.

The shooter is responsible for the staging of their guns. A staged

gun that falls is a dropped gun and is subject to a penalty.

Wait for the timer beep to start your stage. Moving before the beep

can earn you a ‘spirit of the game’ penalty.

Knockdown targets must fall and swinger targets must swing to

count.

Do not chamber a round until the gun is pointed safely down range.

Once a pistol is cocked it must be emptied at the line.

This is a ‘no alibi match. Once you have said the start line you

are committed to completing the stage.

IMPORTANT MATCH NOTES

‘Cowboy port arms’ is defined as “standing fully upright, the butt

of the rifle or shotgun at or below the gun-belt and the muzzle at

shoulder level or higher, both hands on the gun and the finger is out

of the trigger guard.

Everyone should get involved in the flow of the match, be a spotter,

pick up brass, monitor a table or keep score.

Make sure to get to the loading table before your turn. Next 3 in line

only.

At Cowboy Action Shooting matches we do not shoot and scoot. Please

stay after the match to help, in any way you can, with putting away

the targets and props. The range area must be cleaned up. We take

pride in being good range users.

Remember that safety is always our first priority. We are all safety

officers.

Please make it a point to have a great time at this match.

WILD BUNCH BASIC RULES

Pistol magazines shall be loaded with only five rounds.

You may insert a magazine into the 1911 at the load table, but do

not chamber a round.

To begin the pistol sequence, you draw the gun from holster (or

pick it up from table) and when it is pointing downrange, you may

rack the slide to chamber a round and start engaging targets.

1911 must be shot to slide-lock once a round has been chambered.

It may contain an empty mag or no mag. If it is not the last gun

in the string, it must be safely staged in slide-lock, pointing

downrange.

Dropped loaded or unloaded magazines may not be picked up during

the course of fire. The brass pickers will retrieve them for you

afterward.

Perform magazine change from slide-lock only.

At unload table, the 1911 will remain holstered because it will

have been cleared at the firing line.

Procedure for clearing 1911 upon completion of stage: keep gun

pointing downrange. RO will ask you to "Unload & Show Clear". Take

the mag out of the gun. Be very aware of muzzle direction while you

do this! Let RO see into chamber. Close slide. When RO says

"Hammer Down", pull the trigger to drop the hammer (keeping gun

pointed downrange). When RO says "Holster", you may then holster

the gun. DO NOT DO ANYTHING YOU ARE NOT TOLD TO DO. IF UNSURE, JUST

STAND THERE & RO WILL GUIDE YOU THROUGH.

Rifle must be .40 caliber or larger.

Loading the ' 97 at load table: Close action. Lower hammer on empty

chamber. Insert the required number of shells into the tubular

magazine. Any additional rounds needed must be loaded from the body

or specified staging position.

No re-engagement of shotgun targets is allowed. If a knockdown

doesn't fall, it's a miss. Same for shotgun swingers.

Rifle & shotgun must be cleared at unload table as per regular CAS

procedures.
