For me, I love to shoot iron sights. But, as alluded to earlier, if I cannot see the targets, I would rather leave the heavy gear at home, and shoot TacOps.
-
It may be because I'm not very skilled, but after the beep, I can't tell the difference between 24" or 26" barrel. But getting the stock to fit correctly, that's huge.
-
Here's my take on it. They just don't feel right....
-
It truly doesn't matter to me at what range the targets are, just so long as I can see them with the naked eye.

+1 for the Super Nova. And I think Patrick Kely was fooling around with the Stoeger pump gun. Maybe he can chime in as well.

I'm no expert, but I think you should consider how your shotgun fits you. My advice is worth what you paid, but for me some shotguns just feel right. My JM Pro was just awesome to mount, and the bead was right where I needed it. But I'm not going into what ever became of that gun. Enter the M3000. Felt horrible, long LOP, had to really concentrate every time I shouldered it. Lopped about 3/4" off the stock, and it became a joy. BTW, I'm sight focused, too. Probably why trap is tons easier than skeet or sporting clays for me. Patrick Kelly also has a great article on shotgun fit.

In Tactical Scoped division are offset iron sights allowed?
6.2.2.3 Tactical Optics Division rifles may be equipped with no more than one (1) optical sight.
Looks like it is allowed to me.

How early do I need to get the match to see the ROs shooting the stages? Hopefully this might help me have some idea how to shoot them
Be sure to watch me, that will prepare you to burn it down....

For matches where I shoot AR stuff, I like the typical CR Speed belt set up. For heavy metal, I like a battle belt with suspenders because, well, it's heavy. I'm going to investigate buckling the battle belt in the back though. As CJW said, real estate is limited.

Interesting. I just need to investigate it further, I could have been doing something wonky on the trigger in the heat of the moment. Never had an issue before. I may need to just clean the trigger group.
If the hammer fell far enough to strike the primer, it tripped the shell release. There is either a mechanical issue in the shell release/ shell latch interface (gunk or burrs), or the end of the latch where the shell rests at the magazine mouth is rough (it is a cast part), or it has excessive magazine spring tension. The last is not likely if the failure occurred with a partially full magazine. There really isn't any trigger technique you can use that will prevent the shell release latch from functioning. If the hammer falls, there should be a shell on the lifter. Period.
After trying unsuccessfully trying to recreate the malfunction at home, and shooting another match with the same lot of shells, I have come to the conclusion the malfunctions were due to an unfortunate planetary alignment, coupled with an unusually strong lunar tidal pull, and major match bad luck.

I just followed the instructions that came with my Miculek comp. Works great.

I don't know where you are in Indiana, but if your are in the south, Borden IN, has regular HP and CMP matches. Google Southern Indiana Rifle and Pistol Club

Here is a source for 100 yard reduced targets. Nice thing is they fit on regular 8.5x11 paper.

Nah, no need to practice...I have good news for the Heavy Metal shooters; we now have 10 shooters signed up for the division!
See you soon,
Andy
Woo Hoo! And crap all at the same time!
Guess I'm going to need to get my gear out and practice a little.

Bob we have Huns head targets over here , will bring a few over next month.
We also have full body version that you could mount on hay bales for your bayonet charge !
That solves the pumpkin fees, but you don't get to shoot with pumpkin guts all over your stock after the butt stroke to the pumpkin! LOL!!
-
M1A is perfectly acceptable for me. Just no bayonet lug to slash pumpkins. :-)

I even have a stage idea! Run 20 yards through a lane, butt stroking and bayoneting pumpkins, then another 15 yards to a prone position, load staged ammo, and engage flashers out to 300 yards...I guess I can dream....

It doesn't even have to be historical for me. Just a match with a practical heavy option, wood and steel iron sighted rifle, pump 12ga, and a .45 1911. Preferably on a natural terrain venue.
-
Trying to think of a stage when my plan didn't go to sh*t....
-
I'd be all over it. But like Stealthy said, most of those guys that like old rifles don't run and gun.
The idea of rifle/pistol only is a sound one. It will likely appeal more to that group of crusty guys that like old rifles too. (Of which I consider myself a member.)
I would be in my height of glory! Old guy, old gun, crustiness, real bullets, iron sights, actual aiming! Use Horner rules! Target with heads and maybe even helmets! Gonna go take something for my elevated heart rate now...

I'm wondering about the whole inertia gun vs. mounting thing. I never thought about it, just mounted the gun and pulled the trigger. But, at my last match I had about 4 failures with ammo that previously was 100%, (Federal WalMart pack, 3 dr, 1 1/8 oz 7 1/3 shot). I don't know if I was holding differently, of maybe some dirt somewhere, or maybe mag tube spring. But here is the question, and I don't think I've seen it answered. Does one hold tight, or light? Best I can describe the malfunction is the gun failed to put a round on the lifter. I don't know if it ejected the hull after firing, or I racked it out, but I had to release a round onto the lifter and rack it a second time. I did change mag spring, and used better shells to finish with no more issues.

I started shooting matches with my dad, like a lot of kids...He was 76 and I was 51. LOL!

My rifle reloads are a little slow.

Bryan, I think some of us would like a Garand division once in a while. I'm feeling we got something going on for at least once a season. We are going to try it at Owensboro, with a heads up to the MD. Just a thought.
