End of Trail, World Championship of Wild Bunch Action Shooting
First of 2 days, 5 stages each day.
Started at 8 AM, with a safety meeting beforehand.
So, Wild Bunch is an offshoot (pun not intended, but I like it!) of Cowboy Action Shooting (CAS), based on the movie of that tittle set in 1913 with a period military theme. Some of us dress the part of military, most don't. Shot with a 1911 pistol instead of revolvers and a standard CAS rifle & pump shotgun. Generally smaller on more distant targets and sometimes more complex scenarios. Well today was a fine example of all that. Some good challenging scenarios (meaning I messed up one) and some required just mental clarity to shoot it fast (I did that too!). Only 4 misses in 5 stages so I’m very pleased with that. One stage had 34 knockdown targets with no limit on ammo using pistol & rifle. That was a lot of fun!
I spent some of the afternoon just wandering the vendors and visiting with friends.
Carlene’s day:
Carlene and Skye spent more time at Lake Pleasant.
I visited the Discovery Center that has a display of interpretive exhibits of native and early settlers, wildlife, etc. Skye and I took a short walk then drove around to explore/scout out plans for another day. Before heading back to camp, we took a nice hike that took us near the lake shore where Skye can swim another time. I decided we would not share the gravel beach with a wild burro.
