Practicing the classifier is the road to frustration. Go shoot matches and enjoy getting better at the sport. Become a classifier master and suffer eternal hell.

"We do collect the $285 entry fee" $285? I don't know if it is a deal breaker, but wow! Match fee, hotel room for the duration, food, gas, ammo, damn. What has gone up in price 14% this year? My pay didn't.

I use that sling and a QD with my UBR stock and my shotgun

It is still listed on the web site and my distributor has it in stock. Where did you hear this?

While these matches are a bit up the road from you, I think you will find very well run matches in 3-gun and long range. With an hour delay last Saturday to let the storms pass, we ran over 90 shooters through 6 stages and were finished about 4pm. http://tarheel3gun.com

How much was the prize money?

My son uses a Trijicon RMR on a Warne Ramp mount with a NF 2.5-10x. Charlie provided the Cat Tail. I believe it is zeroed at 100 yds.

Probably not legal. If it is a permanent modification to the gun, then it is more than likely not legal for SSP. Internal/external are subjective and that modification is visible without disassembling the gun. External by an objective criteria. Glocks are competitive in ESP.

I have said it before, IDPA DMG, DOA. Equipment is far too restrictive to interest anyone shooting 3-gun, and too restrictive to anyone who might want to shoot 3-gun. The IDPA rules are in that not too hot, not too cold, not just right, not enough fun zone. When it gets down to it, how defensive is an AR? IDPA really has a problem with the whole "Defensive" concept while moving toward a threat. That is another thread.

I really like the UBR because I can adjust the length to the shooting position and to different uppers. The UBR has the side benefit of eliminating the SPRONG sound. While it is heavier than most, the weight is at your shoulder and I don't even notice it.

Next you will want a TV show devoted to 3-gun. Sheeesh

I am surprised anyone would care. DMG was DOA. Outlaw baby!

http://idpaforum.yuku.com/sreply/63140/Summary-of-all-suggested-changes-to-the-rule-book Those lists are just a summary of member ideas. Sentances you listed above are seperate people with opposing opinions to the verbiage they want to see in the book. Tiger team will sift through all the member posts and hopefully we will get a much better constructed book in 2017 lol. Fingers crossed. I understand they plan to beat your estimate by three years.

Seriously?

1-Half Day Format 2-Amazing prize table 3-A squad that approaches the stage as a team in walk through and reset 4-Efficient match flow and event planning 5-Stages where virtually no one times out. How fast and how well can you do it. Show us. See item #4.

1-ROs with binoculars who don't see the hit, when everyone without a guide dog does. 2-Stage guns, stage guns with hair triggers, stage guns with crap triggers, stage guns with decent triggers, stage guns. 3-Not having complete, accurate results available before awards. 4-ROs who only stand and demand work. 5-Shooters who only stand and watch while others work.

The front just howled through. I would like to see some calm breezes before tomorrow afternoon. It is Skinny Sammy Day.

I shot 55 gr today at FNH because it didn't matter, and it my usual round. Tomorrow, I plan on shooting 75 gr because the winds are forcast to around 15 mph and we are shooting the longer range targets. The verticle trajectory of the two rounds to 350 yds is too similar to worry about. The drift difference at 350 yds with a 15 mph full value wind is about 5". I have the 75 gr bullets and there is no down side to using them. They may help, they will not hurt. YMMV

The proof will be in the pudding.

I have this on the stock of my shotgun. It has a backing piece and attaches with two screws. link

I will only shoot matches where the probability of a successful finish qualifying for a match bump is likely. Beating five or eight shooters is not an accomplishment. To the point, I have to be convinced that all SOs and competitors will shoot the same COF. I have seen this done as close to perfection as possible. I have also seen it not turn out so well. A match that lacks a quality of staff and organization will probably not see me twice, and certainly not three times. My criteria for working matches is even more restrictive.

Don't hold your breath. The local web site is slow to update and the links on IDPA broke to nearly all of the matches since May over a month ago.

Who is that Jesse guy? Anyone ever hear of him?

That's my favorite - and I beleive Texas MultiGun Championship 2011 used that method. Simple IMGA 1A-B, 2 Anywhere, and Horner scoring to give more weight to multiple gun stages and stiff penalties on long distance targets to keep people from gaming them. I like this idea a lot!! I should add that we do not have FTE or FTN. The paper points are either zero penalty seconds, six seconds, eight seconds or ten seconds. Our attempt was to make the system as easy to manage as possible. Obviously, an A/B or two on paper is zero. Steel and clays are 5 seconds and long range (over 100 yds) is 15 seconds. We shoot to 300 yds. We have not had a slug shot over 100 yds, yet. Procedurals are 10 seconds each. There is a 60 second penalty available for special occassions. Sorry-Edit to add No Shoots are 10 seconds per hit. Shoot throughs count.
