Wild Bunch Categories
SASS Wild Bunch competitions have two basic shooting categories depending on the 1911 pistol used. These two categories are Modern and Traditional. The requirements are as follows:
MODERN
- Modern and Traditional specification pistols are allowed.
- Any shooting style is allowed.
- Any approved rifle and shotgun is allowed under these rules.
TRADITIONAL
- Only Traditional specification pistols are allowed (see above)
- The shooter must shoot with one hand only without any support (Duelist style). The weak hand may be used for reloading, cocking the bolt and troubleshooting.
- Any approved rifle and shotgun under these rules may be used.
MAJOR AND MINOR CATEGORIES
There are always 4 main categories at the event: men's Traditional and Modern and women's Lady Traditional and Lady Modern. If there are enough shooters, additional categories may be announced based on age, e.g. Senior.
REQUIREMENTS FOR THE SECONDARY CATEGORY SENIOR
- At least 10 shooters must be entered in the main category. Only after this quota is filled can a secondary category be opened.
- At least 5 shooters must register for the secondary category.
- Shooters must be at least 65 years old.
