great match despite the heat. looking forward to next year

thanks guys! Even though I am in a 3rd world shithole, I was able to enjoy a cuban cigar and a little capt morgan for my birthday! Just finished them up actually since I am 9.5 hrs ahead of you guys. Steve

thanks for the kudos Brian! The adhesive used to mount the bolt release was specifically recommended by 3M for the application and will hold up under rigorous use. I also wanted to make sure it was easy to install, the world is complicated enough...

I agree with this point, though reluctantly. I do have to admit that the gear I shoot at one match is the same gear I shoot at every match and I have not been in violation of anyones specialized rules. I dont try to "game" the equipment, I just go out and shoot the best that I can with what I have. I do read the match rules before I get on the road and like at BRM3G, I had to scamble around and figure out how I was going to sling my long guns but it wasn't a big deal, I just had never been to a match that required slings. It was lots of fun to shoot so I was glad I did it. The bigest problem with unified rules is that unlike major USPSA matches that use the same core RO's, the multi gun matches use mostly local help. Obviously we are glad they help but they may not always have the experience that the USPSA RO's have. Scoring...i did like the Horner system. It was simple and forced more people to actually look at their sights but really i dont pay much attention to what scoring system the match of the day is using. Again, just shoot to the best of your ability and dont worry about it. But, if it were good for 3 gunning in general and would potentially draw more competition then I would be for standardizing all of it. 2 cents....

cool pic...did you look for the pot of gold?

what brand is that cutting board?

Hmm..i heard a story about some guys who got pulled over for speeding in a non-resiprocity state carrying concealed with the back of the suv loaded to the ceiling for a 3 gun match. There may be some info left out to protect the innocent. I'm just glad i dont know who those guys are

if you know how many guns you have off the top of your head then you dont have enough guns...

well, back home from the midwest 3 gun. i ended up leaving early after getting dq'ed on the m249 stage. total stupidity on my part and just poor gun handling so no one to blame but me. i was having a pretty decent match till then and that is what hurt the most after my pride. the guys from FN and CMMG put on a hell of a match and i look forward to trying again next year. thanks also to all the hard working ro's especially Larry on stage 5 who had a huge amount of positive energy throughout the entire match. on a side note, I was lucky enough to find a cool irish pub in St. Louis on our way back and enjoyed a few blacksmith beers and an irish car bomb...

revisiting the buy ver. reload theme of this thread. winchester AA are 7.60ish from wal-mart and 8 something everywhere else i looked. I hadnt seen this thread before but my recent purchase sent me searching the forum for info. I just ordered a new Hornady 366 today. thought I would load some spreaders and various other loads for 3 gun on it.

i run a side charge on my ar and have for years. it is easier and more ergonomical imho. i also have a bolt release on the right side of the weapon which together with the LH side charge is very convenient.

yes Todd, the release will be the same as the one you saw on my nelly, they work great. Stay tuned...

i also picked up an FN off the prize table at BRM3g and will be using this shotgun as a test bed for new products. the first is almost ready for shipment, it is an oversize bolt release that doesnt require any modifications to the firearm at all. the next is a Ti bolt handle that is in the works already. from their we will see what else we can do but i am thinking a shell plate might be in order like the one i have made for the benelli. it doesnt require welding and tracks the shells better for easier reloads. Steve

+1...This match was incredible. many thanks to Andy, Mike, Brent, Linda and the rest of the staff for putting together a great match.

if you got several of each you could have the choice of using the 4 or 6 depending on the stage...

I change out gear on my belt as i come to each stage. if it is a shotgun heavy stage i remove the appropriate amount of pistol mag pouches or all of them if there is no pistol and load up with quik strippers

anyone from Ky, Tn or AR interested in sharing a ride and hotel to this match? I am leaving KY Fri morning and will be leaving TX sun morning.

Progressive is in for sponsorship. I have penciled it into my schedule too and hope to make it to the match. I am actually traveling through the great state of Texas as we speak returning home from a great time at the SHOT show. We have some cool new stuff for shotguns that we released at the show and will be bringing plenty for the prize table.

found the price please sit before clicking here

i have seen this system a few times and it is a lot of fun. they had one set up at the Ft Benning match this weekend. Not sure on cost... Laser Shot

What an awesome match. where else can you get a stryker ride to a stage (that was awesome by itself) and the boat stage was way cool. what a commitment to stage design to dig a trench that long for the fun of it. thanks to all of the AMU staff, Linda and Sandra, the RO's and of course the Army, it was a great match as far as I am concerned. Hamp didnt even have to fall on his sword!...... same weekend for 2008??????

this was in yesterdays NSSF Bullet Points email: STI International Ends Sales to California MICROSTAMPING UPDATE . . . Effective immediately, STI International has halted all shipments of firearms to California. The company will no longer sell any firearms to civilians or law enforcement in the state. The move by STI comes after Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed microstamping legislation into law. "This law is not going to stop criminals, it is only going to hurt law-abiding citizens in the state," STI's Pauletta Skinner told Bullet Points. "We felt like we had to take a stand against this law."

I had my pistol and all my mags coated with Ionbond last year, it has performed exceptionally well. I will be sending a batch of titanium bolt carriers to Ionbond in the next week or two. anyone that would like to save a little money can send me their guns or parts and i will add them to my batch. please Pm me for further details. if i get more than 10 pistols the savings improve. Could be a good Christmas present... Steve

a TA-11 with a progressive machine scope cover is all you need . it works great for hosing with the cover closed and then when you have to engage a 300yrd target you just flip the cover down for 3.5power optics

well hell, i didnt want to get it to quickly and make it seem easy...
