South Burnett Shooters Union is now approved to conduct QLD SINGLE ACTION WILD BUNCH Shooting under Shooters Union Qld rules, which are modified to meet Qld fi***rm laws.
Wild Bunch is closely related to our Bushrangers Single Action competition and rules.
Competitors take turns shooting their lever action r***e, coach gun and a 1911 handgun at metallic targets, with a timer running. Missed targets and mistakes incur a time penalty.
Adding to the atmosphere of the early 1900's, our Black Powder range looks authentic, built many years ago with bush poles and recycled corrugated iron. It's surrounded by the Wondai State Forest bush land, with a just- completed lot of earthworks, smoothing the ground, as well as the access track that winds through the bush.
But there's been a lot of invisible work in the background that got us here.
Big "Thank Yous" go to Jan Linsley and Shooters Union Queensland for working tirelessly with Queensland Police Service on tailoring the rules and on the pathway to approval for Shooters Union Qld affiliated clubs. To John Hinricks and Wondai R***e Club, who hosts us at their range and worked to have Wild Bunch added to the range approval. And to our working committee and the same hard-working members who seem to show up and make everything just happen.
This coming Saturday 29 August is our normal fifth Saturday of the month Working Bee for members only.
We will set up the new Wild Bunch layout and give it a shoot.
We can then go to the clubhouse for a BBQ lunch where we can have explained to all of us the small technicalities of the Qld Wild Bunch rules as they differ from our Bushrangers.
And after lunch we can shoot some bench rest r***e.
So it’s our normal Working Bee format with something for everyone!
