2026 Wild Bunch Schedule Update

2026 Wild Bunch Schedule Update

In an attempt to increase Wild Bunch participation, we planned to change our shooting schedule for 2026. It was our belief that shooting Cowboy first and Wild Bunch second would cause more of the Cowboy shooters, who have not shot Wild Bunch in the past, to try Wild Bunch. It appears that our intentions were misinterpreted by some, so we decided to send a brief questionnaire to our shooters, to poll what they (you) preferred.

The results indicate that the majority want to keep the schedule as it was in 2025. Therefore, Wild Bunch will again be shot before the Cowboy match, with the same schedule as this year.

We are pleased with the number of positive responses about considering shooting Wild Bunch in 2026. In 2025 our Wild Bunch attendance was 25% higher than it has ever been and we sincerely hope to see even larger growth in 2026.

The new schedule is now posted for your convenience.

Thank you,
Flat Top Okie

Changes to Costume Contest for 2026

Shotglass is pleased to announce the 2026 Land Run costume contest. We were thrilled by the participation last year and are honored to have the opportunity to sponsor the costuming awards again in 2026. We learned a few things and will add further improvements to our processes to smooth things out even more.

  • No pre-registration is needed, just show up.
  • We will start judging earlier and have our own private room at the museum.
  • Entries will be color coded to make knowing which judge panel to go to easier.
  • We have added a Military Lady category to the awards

If you are worried about having a story or a presentation about your outfit; this is NOT required. You are being judged on your outfit, not your “speech”. There are three ways the judges can learn about your outfit:

  • You can have a story that explains your outfit and accoutrements.
  • You can explain your outfit in a straightforward way.
  • The judges can simply ask you questions.
