2017 Seekins Precision High Desert 3 Gun Championship This will be the 4th Annual High Desert, but this year will be by far the best match to date. If you have not heard, the Ironman 3 gun is not happening, but the High Desert is taking its place on the calendar. The match will be June 8-10 at the Parma Rod & Gun club. All divisions will be recognized, including trooper. We will be able to accommodate 288 shooters. Shooters that cannot make the regular match will be able to register and shoot with the staff. Multiple divisions okay, pay match fee for each division. Match fee will be $250. You can expect 9-10 Parma style stages (including a possible night stage) that will be fun and creative, likely shooting that you can’t do anywhere else in the country. Figure on 300 rounds per gun with 25 slugs and up to 30-40 bonus gun rounds(if we can fit it in). 3 guns will be used on every stage and possibly bonus long range guns may be used. Expect half day format with one possible night stage. The day after you shoot the night stage you will be on a PM squad. Lunch will be included in your match fees. There will be prizes and awards on Saturday following the match. We will need staff for ROing, setup, and tear down. If you want to shoot for free we have enough staff positions, we can make this happen. Setup will happen June 3-4, staff match on 5-6, and the main match 8-10 and tear down on the 11th. Registration will open very soon, standby for updates. -
Some of you have seen my other post on longer range rifle for Ironman; likely for 2016. So, I'm interested in seeing what a realistic and competitive gear set would be for that, even if I lose my senses and think about Trooper division. Looks like more competitive Trroper shooters use pistol carbines. If you were going to Ironman to shoot Trooper. What Pistol Caliber Carbine (PCC) would you bring in 2016 and why? Would you convert existing AR-16 receivers you have on hand? Would you buy the new JP buy once and cry once? What about a JP GMR upper on a QC10 lower? Perhaps an entirely different solution? And what about optics on top? 1x only (EOtech or Aimpoint styles)? Or a good 1-4x where we know it will live almost all the time at 1x with slight magnification dial up in a copuple of places.? (I have one handy, so I'm asking) How "big" a feature is bolt hold open at the end of a magazine? I imagine it matters on the clock, but I haven't used a PCC before. Yes, I'd need to train my body extensively for next year. Yes, I need to get in lots of shooting drills and practice. I understand all of that. However, I'm not well informed on the PCC market, so I'm asking for help.I shoot a M&P pistol in Open/Unlimited. I don't have any investment in Glock magazines. Thanks in advance for not laughing me off the boards for this. I'm also open to all sorts of Trooper recommendations big and small. If you think this thread isn't the best place then just message me directly with what you want to say. Thank you again, Mike
