Just checked the days off calender and I'm off that weekend. Might have to put this on the "list"!
-
Running a longer barrel is no big deal. I have a 22"and 26" and never notice the difference between the two.
-
This is such a fun match. Wouldn't miss it.
-
I received an email on the 7th saying my payment was received. Now I just got another email saying payment has not been received. ????
Edit: Ok, got another email saying I paid again. I guess I'm good.......for now. lol
-
Never happened to mine. Probably 5000 or more through it.
-
I put a zip tie around the tube and then cinch the sling to that. It's rare that you use a sling much on the shotgun, so it's a cheap field expedient method.

I am trying to picture what the 'magazine over the edge' looks like. Does this mean the rifle is actually resting on the trigger guard? So the handguard does not actually touch the roof?
Yes. But it really depends on the angle of the slope and what the top is like.
-
I want to see how that star works! Lol.
-
It depends on what your face structure is like. I have to use glasses without a frame at the top of the lens. Otherwise, when shooting a long gun, I end up trying to look through the frame. Keep in mind during three gun that you will be put in some very challenging shooting positions too.

What did everyone think of the airsoft advice? Let me have it, I can take it!!!!
I thought it was good. You may consider hiring a better looking model for the photos, but other than that....

I ran mine in the pro series last year. It worked great. I've since put an slr gas block on it and I didn't realize what I was missing! It was overgassed.
-
I'm on the Pro series and don't get the channel. Go figure.

I can't believe Eric Miller hasn't posted yet. He loves his Tavor! Or he did a couple years ago anyway.

Those 3 people probably really needed it.

3Gun "Pro" here. I get a few scopes and paid entries into some matches. Most "Pros" have thousands of dollars a year invested in equipment, travel, and most of all training in the form of ammunition and range time, all paid out of their own pockets.
Kurt, my membership was covered by 3Gun Nation the last couple years. I had to pony up for the semi-pro season. We did have to pay a large entry fee at the beginning of the last two seasons, but those were paid back determined on order of finish at the matches, along with decent prize tables that put you well over what you paid in. This year will be different, you have to put up a check as insurance that you will attend the match since they have their tv show on the line depending on your attendance. You get the uncashed check back along with a prize check after the match.
As for how people do it, most of the guys I've seen have professional jobs. I've seen doctors, lawyers, business owners, cops and quite a few folks who are part of the shooting industry. I end up burning most of my vacation time on matches. I would venture to say most of the people at a high level in this sport are pulling in a minimum of 75k a year or have someone who is bankrolling their training. That's not to say you couldn't do well with less.
I was fortunate to win a rifle at every match I shot this year aside from the Pro series. It helps defer the associated costs of traveling to a big match that you mentioned.
I will say this. You don't HAVE to make a lot of money to do well in this sport. All you need is the desire to learn and the commitment to training to make it happen. You don't need the latest and greatest high dollar equipment to get to the top. But when you get there, it comes in nice to squeeze out that extra bit of performance out of your skills/equipment. In fact, two of the best shooters I've had the honor of meeting have already posted in this thread and both of them would smoke almost anyone with a 1911, iron sighted rifle, and a pump shotgun.

The best barrel I have. Sabre defense 18" is CHrome lined. It semms to just shoot about any ammo u put through it well.
I have a 20" criterion CL that shoots very well also.
These 4150 CL barrels may very well outlive most of the others as well.
And when u are as lazy as I am...they are easy to clean too.
You clean your rifle??!!

Are you going to have a heavy optics division? If so do you have rules posted?
-
I've got the JP,AP,Seekins,Samson,and even a Daniel Defense. They all get the job done. I'm looking hard at the SLR Solo for my 308 build. AP has some new stuff too.
-
My first shootoff! I'll probably get bracketed with Daniel or Keith. Either way,its going to be a blast.

I thought it was a great match! I really enjoyed the stage designs and the bigger long range targets. RO's were great. The only feedback I would offer is to even out the number of squads between the half day formats to improve the flow, our squad waited frequently for the next squad on Friday. It's also a tough call for some people to stay in town for 10 hours to walk the prize table rather than head home. We were done by noon, but I didn't leave until almost 11 since I waited to pick up prizes for some others. Maybe you could offer to ship a prize package for the cost of shipping to those who need to leave?? THANK YOU BLACK RAIN FOR THE SWEET RIFLE! I'll be back again and I'm sure it will be even better. Overall this was a very smooth match with no major problems. I'm sure any wrinkles that did occur will be ironed out next year. Great job Chad.

I'm a firm believer in the K.I.S.S. principle.

A friend of mines rifle started doing that several years ago. He changed the gas rings and it ran perfectly.

There never has been before.
