Length of threads is going to better determin the need for a barrel clamp. No need to put a clamp on a Benelli.

Shotguns used in 3gun are starting to look ridiculous!
J.Schmitt replied to DocMedic's topic in Shotgun - Technical
They had that very thing. It mounted to the bottom of the tube, but it only fed you one round at a time. The rounds were held in with a bearing system. You taped it forward and it kicked a shell out into your hand. Someone around here must still have one. -
I would not shy away from buying a used m2 or m1 Benelli. I have bought 2 used, a m1 and a vinci. It is real difficlult for most people to wreck a shotgun. Many hunters will scuff them up and feel they are ruined. They dont put them through half of what we do. Shotguns can handle 10's of thousand of rounds. Jay

sure you can try a knock off. Does that company support the sport. Did they put the work into development. Purchase a quality product once and you won't have to replace it. Jay

Limited equipment rules
J.Schmitt replied to Stlhead's topic in Multi-gun Rules / Stage Design / Match Administration
I thought you had to plug your shotgun at Blueridge. It can only hold 8 in tube. If you load more after start, you're bumped to Open. You do have to have it plugged. If it can hold more than 8 at any time you are breaking the rules. -
Limited equipment rules
J.Schmitt replied to Stlhead's topic in Multi-gun Rules / Stage Design / Match Administration
I don't care either way what the shotgun holds. I like going to Blue Ridge where it is capped at 8 in the tube. I like my tube that holds 10. As a match director for The Nordic Components Tactical Shotgun match, I have discussed with a few of our staff the idea of limiting the tube in the confines of a shotgun only match. We left it on the table for further discussion. I figure it makes a bigger deal in a shotgun only match that in a 3 gun match. There is always time to load and it always takes time, time when you pick up the shotgun before you start shooting or time while shooting. Jay Limited shooter -
Many did when there were no 1- 4 plus scopes, throw lever down to 1x kinda killed it.

I was just commenting on the stage as I read it and with what my understanding was from a prior Andy Horner post which read, "There is a rule change for the match allowing, but not requiring, the reholstering of a loaded pistol. The exact wording is not complete, therefore the rules have not been "officially" changed on the match website." And Jim, good point, for some it may be an issue.

I decided to browse over the stages to see whats up for this year. I assume that this is an area where we will be reholstering pistols and running safety on a hot slung rifle. Stage 7 "Upon entering each room, the pistol targets in that room must be engaged before rifle targets are engaged through the windows. Abandon safe pistol in bucket, and safe rifle in barrel." I like it. Jay

When the penslty is steep like a DQ it helps to channel caution for most. Some of course are just plain reckless. Some who havd been around a little while and have been DQ'd themselve operate within a greater scope of caution/safety. I have had to deal with speed abandonment this year with all 3 guns. Many shooters are throwing them into the dumps and not treating them as if they were loaded, and some are loaded. Respect for the lethality of the gun has for some been replaced with a desire for pure speed. I attribute some of this to newer shooters watching, on the range and on TV and youtube, experienced competitors move fast. Or what they attribute as fast which may actually be deliberate skill. So while none of us want that situation to happen to us and end our match I think the rules cover the infraction with no other explanation or addittion needed. Jay

New 3-Gun Scoring System
J.Schmitt replied to LoganbillJ's topic in Multi-gun Rules / Stage Design / Match Administration
The DPMS tri gun of old had an outstanding prize table, as do so many matches today. They always had a wide distribution of high caliber shooters representing the divisions. All the division winners got a check for 3000 dollars. I think the last year it was held it was 4000. Maybe Kurt can confirm that. Now I fully understand that putting cash on the prize table is a different animal then gathering prizes from sponsors. Part of my point is that you had a lot of guys going for those big paychecks. All divisions were well cared for, in part I suppose because they hsd a full time employee working on it. I put out 3 prize tables for the NORDIC Comp shotgun match and it is a headache. Trying to do 5 tables has to be massive work. I have also seen the 4 smaller divisions not represented well at the prize table and have considered jumping from limited at times. I appreciate the directors who work hard to run represented prize tables. JJ as a match director has seen the unbalance and has choosen a different method, with their massive prize table at RM3G, shooters can chose to compete for the big prizes. I truely believe most shooters dont pre factor their finish in a match and decide what division to try. Jay -
built my first compition rifle, now i just dont know
J.Schmitt replied to sbrkam's topic in Rifle - Technical
You can shoot those with a dot. And you probably would not want to shoot 12 inch plates at 100 yards on 6x anyhow. Time to find a match with some longer ranges so you can make that 1-6 work for you. Jay -
Critique our rules.
J.Schmitt replied to LoganbillJ's topic in Multi-gun Rules / Stage Design / Match Administration
Take a run over to www.mn3gungroup.org and look at our rules. Our stage dq info may give you some more options. For some reason I cant cut and paste. There seems to be so much new stuff on the forum for rules and safety. I would hold a RO brief and outline expectations on those topics that really come out and show themselves on a particular stage. Example, on natural terrain, the 180 may be difficult to define. Work over in advance how the floating 180 will work. jay -

You will need to plug dq's into you scoring program and test the numbers. 300 even 600 will still afford that shooter stage points. Jay -
Low ready and port arms
J.Schmitt replied to Outsydlooknin75's topic in Multi-gun Rules / Stage Design / Match Administration
I too have had problems with consistent starts. Our solution was to implement 1 start position for shotguns and rifles. That being low ready, pointed at the designated marker. This has removed a good deal of asking what to do by the shooter. We use a orange cones or a spray painted spot. I agree that port arms is for parades. Port arms by by its definition points the muzzle over the berm thus creating a possible safety issue that does not need to occure. Jay -
And don't skimp on the mount either. jay
