So here is what I’m thinking. Wild Bunch Side Match Stage; the shooter will need two (2) main match pistols and one (1) main match rifle. In addition they will need one (1) 1911 style pistol and one (1) approved pump or lever action shotgun capable of holding four (4) or more rounds. The Shotgun and 1911 style pistol will be provided if necessary. All ammunition restrictions apply.
Rifle loaded with ten (10) rounds held at Cowboy Port-Arms. Two (2) main match pistols with five (5) rounds each, holstered. 1911 pistol with seven (7) rounds loaded in magazine, chamber empty, staged on the table in the second shooting position. Shotgun with four (4) rounds loaded in magazine, chamber empty, staged on the table in the third shooting position.
The shooter will start at the first position with the rifle held at port arms. When ready call out “I said the WHOLE Mexican Army”. Shooter starts by shooting the 4 rifle targets in a 3-2-3-2 pattern. Restage the rifle safely. Draw the first pistol and engage the 2 pistol targets in a 3-2 pattern starting on either end. Draw the second pistol and engage the 2 pistol targets in a 3-2 pattern starting on either end. Holster and move to the second position. Pick up the staged 1911 pistol and engage the single dump target with 7 rounds. Restage the 1911 pistol safely. Move to the third position and pick up the shotgun. Knock down the 4 shotgun targets. No make ups are allowed. End of Stage.
What do you think?

This will work.
-I think shotgun targets should be made up.
-A dump target for the 1911? I can see the attraction, but for the first time, I'd like to see multiple targets. I wouldn't worry about target count until PVR gives you feedback.
-Requirement for 1911? How about the Mausers and Colt pocket pistols?
-I'm not sure it belongs in the stage write-up, but something needs to be said at some point about the safe operation of the 1911 for the uninitiated. Perhaps restage with slide locked back?
-Perhaps at some point, this can be opened up for the bolt action rifles like the 1903 and mausers if suitable targets can be found.
My thoughts on the shotgun targets were to keep it simple and not have people trying to load an unfamiliar gun.
1911 was to just keep it simple for the first time. We can always add stuff later.
You are right about slide lock. We can write that in.
Different rifles would be cool in the future, but it will be based on target availability.
