I understand that the only Three Gun match in South Carolina (at the Belton Gun Club) has been discontinued.
The "Greenville Gunfighters" of the Greenville Gun Club offer Wild Bunch Action Shooting which is a three gun competition. Pistol is a .45 caliber 1911 (five inch).
Rifle is a pistol caliber lever or pump action rifle with exposed hammer. SASS Wild Bunch rules mandate .40 caliber or greater. Our local club will continue to allow shooters to use the .38 caliber rifles for the time being.
Power factor of 150 for pistol and rifle ammo. Lead bullets only (we shoot steel).
Shotgun choices are Winchester 1897 (original or reproduction), Winchester 93/97 reproduction (these are not legal for SASS cowboy matches so they go cheap sometimes) or the Winchester Model 12 (the latter will be officially legal for all SASS Wild Bunch matches effective January 1, 2013 but local clubs have the option to allow them now, and we do).
As far as I know the Greenville Gunfighters is the only SC club offering regular Wild Bunch Action Shooting matches. We will host the SC Wild Bunch state match in late September of 2013. We shoot Wild Bunch on the 5th Sunday of the month; next match is December 30.
Looking for some Forum members to come check out the match. If you'd like more information send me a PM or check out the website: https://sites.google.com/site/greenvill ... hters/home
