I had my first 3 Gun match this past weekend at Altair Training Facility near Naples, FL
MY GOPRO VIDEO
I had zeroed my rifle about two weekends before but had to address a gas block / rail issue afterward. I KNEW that I had to re-zero but just couldn't get the time before the match. While guesstimating will get you a ping, it eats up all your time.
I had lost the bead on my only shotgun, a pump action Winchester 1300 Defender, a while back and 'replaced' the bead with a zip-tie lol with a red paint stripe for a sight. I was dead-on for windage and I knew from a previous pattern test that the gun shot very high.
Still it was extremely frustrating to watch the splash directly behind the steel plate and the damn plate staying upright, EVEN THOUGH I was aiming at the base of the plate support! The only real fix to this one, I believe, is a tall front sight lol.
My pistol was atrocious at distance. (Glock 19 w the plastic sights) I'm leaning toward the Glock factory steel night sights service that they offer.
Regardless the whole experience was awesome
