My friend and I are a team of two.We'll be shooting in "Traditional" with our defensive gear and lots of camo. We both are competitive pistol shooters, and know how to run our long guns. Would there be a team of two coming that would like to squad up to be able to participate in the team shoot? If so PM me and maybe we can work it out. I too have a team of two and would be happy to team up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericm Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 The team qualifier and the team final shoot-offs can be shot by a 4 man team consisting of Traditional, Modern or any mix of the 2 classes. We will try to have a Law Enforcement / Military team category and an Open category (everybody else) if we have enough teams. It won't matter which class or mix of classes a team is comprised of.

StealthyBlagga Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 If anyone is struggling with setting up their belt kit, I just started a new thread describing how I attached ELS accessories to my MOLLE belt rig . I hope this proves helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullauto_Shooter Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 (edited) A couple quick questions on buckshot targets before I go out and waste money on the wrong type of shells. What's the expected max distance we'll be shooting buckshot? What's the average distance? Targets - knockdown steel OR paper (with reqt. for certain # of hits), OR something else altogether? I tested some buckshot today and learned there's a lot of variation between brands and types. What works well on one target type won't work so well on another.

ericm Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 My brother and I and everyone else we shot with used federal low recoil 9 pellet 00 Buck. It was the old LE load (LE132 00) (pre-flight control). Any buckshot is legal from #4 Buck and larger. There were those that tried gaming everything, even back then and brought copious amounts of every flavor. That said, targets can be falling steel OR paper, distances out to "practical range of Buckshot", say 35yards +/-; know your patterns was and is the watchword. I screwed up one time by choking up and put neat patterns BETWEEN all the targets, when just regular would have given me at least some hits. Testing is good, variation is expected, functioning is paramount. ericm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VNGunfighter Posted September 11, 2016 Author Share Posted September 11, 2016 To name a few, "Roberts Ridge", "Captain Rhodes, Winning Hearts and Minds" and "Pistol Crossfire Meets Junkyard Jumble". These stages are set and we know you will like them ALL! Only a 2 more to build, and then it's GO time! Again, you will be traveling over some uneven terrain, please wear proper footwear, and knee and elbow pads are recommended for this match. We did figure ways to get people much closer to the stages, which is a good thing in this case. Extra special thanks to the Millers for their help with set up!

kurtm Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 We shot in the the stages that are now on the ground. All I can say is this is the type of shooting I consider 3-gun! I would pay the entire entry fee to shoot the team stage all by it's self! What a blast you are going to have. As mentioned bring knee and elbow pads! A real good ZERO! and some hard holding, your skill sets are really going to be challenged! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Now that the stages are on the ground... and shot in... can we expect an adjustment to the general round count provided in an earlier post (Rifle - 200, Pistol - 200 Buckshot - 100, Slugs - 25). I don't have a good frame of reference for Jimmy's comment to the effect of... "...should be enough." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtm Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 No, I would say that is plenty, I wouldn't bring much less, but you can shave a bit of buckshot and slugs and still be ok. Those counts stand as a great guide. I went through 230 rifle for shoot in, but I shot a couple of them multiple times. Ran out about 80 rounds of 45 as well, but I let my brother shoot in the shotgun stages. There was some ballistic playing that went on as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VNGunfighter Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 Right now, the ammo count is: 53 pistol, 63 rifle/carbine,12 BS, 4 slug If you shoot the team qualification, you will shoot, 16 pistol/2, 10 rifle/carbine, 3 buckshot and 3 slug ONLY! There are 2 more stages to be constructed. I would expect a shotgun/pistol, and 1 stage with all 3 guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be argued that modern belt systems are our "field gear" nowadays, since they aren't used for concealment. So if your rig is an ELS inner/outer system with dropped and offset holster that otherwise meets the rules of section 5 (retention, not cut below ejection port, etc.) that's fine. Pistols must be worn on every stage, whether used or not, so continuous wear still means something at this match, as does gear still being available at the end of the stage. ericm Couple of questions for the equipment expert that I couldn't answer... Shooter has a 223 JP rifle that weighs about a pound over the limit. Nothing fancy on it, just a scope. Guidance? What about a twins loading vest, is it legal? And looks like reading the above that ELS belts are GTG? jj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericm Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 A JP rifle in .223 with no magazine, no sling, no bipod, "just a scope" weighs 11.5 pounds??? What is the configuration? (...and what scale are you using???) There is always modern class, he would be the first, tho.... Any shotgun loading method is legal, just not out of pockets not designed for shells (pants pockets, shirt pockets, etc.) Double belts are GTG provided that all mag carriers and holsters are GTG. ericm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scout454 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 JJ Spmething isn't right. I have a DMR I built with a 20" heavy White Oak DMR barrel and an IOR 1.5 to 8 that only weighs 11 pounds and 4 ounces with a modified Harris bipod mounted on it.
