Scores are posted for all that want to Compare, Brag or just wonder where they went wrong Thanks to all the shooters and staff for making this a great day and Match Thank you all,

No, their are no stages requiring the use of a sling. You may carry your long guns with a sling once they are flagged.

Your ghost holster is what we refer to as a race holster. The problem we have had with these is, you can brush or bump the lock mechanism (moving through a doorway, in and out of a car or going prone on the ground) and the gun can be dislodged. In regards to a normal waist holster a rule of thumb, if you can put a loaded gun into the holster and gently shake it upside-down with out the gun falling out, chances are it will stay with you. Any drop holster including a small offset, needs a positive retention in which you have to actually disengage it before you can remove the gun from the holster. All holsters have to cover the trigger area I hope this has clarified our rules. It all is meant to keep your gear with you while your navigating demanding stages with multiple loaded firearms. Thank,

No it doesn't have to fit in your holster We will start you in a ready position

We do have a loaner Surefire for anyone to use. If you bring your own, you can use a weapon mounted light on your Rifle or handgun or a hand held light with your handgun. The choice is yours

Due to the overwhelming response, we are going to open the class up for more shooters. This is how we are going to handle this. We will extend the limit to 40. The class starts at 12:00 noon on April 18th. All 40 will participate in the classroom portion; the first available 20 that signed up (or how much time we have) will get a chance to shoot 1 or 2 practice stages. Even if you don’t get a chance to shoot, you can watch and see how it is done. During the class we will cover safety, range commands, rules & scoring. Then divisions, guns and equipment will be discussed. We thought it might help those who are interested a chance to see what’s going on before they got to the match. This class is not required to shoot the monthly match.

They also participate in an annual staff reward program which includes a random drawing for guns, ammo, equipment, accessories and more. You can also qualify to shoot the Championship match in September free. Bring your guns, gear and about 50 rounds of Rifle and Pistol ammo and 25 rounds of Shotgun ammo (# 6-8 birdshot). There is no charge for this class. Our Introduction to 3Gun class will start at 12:00noon and go until about 3:00pm. It will cover safety rules, range commands, scoring, equipment and gear.

If you help set up and break the match down or RO the match, you shoot free. You can also qualify to shoot the Championship Match free. We are trying the Pre-Registration thing this year.
