  1. I would only be required to shoot the first 2 ranges to qualify and they said the long range is rarely qualified with pistol. I think I'm heading out on Tuesday to shoot the 50 and Wednesday on the 100. Hopefully those will go smooth.
  2. Absolutely blown away by this selfless gesture. Alan, you sir are a good and rare soul. I would throw my hat in the ring but I was able to purchase a few from J&R last week and am expecting them any day. and may good things come your way!
  3. I have to qualify at an outdoor range and to do so, I need to make 50 meter, 100 meter, and 200 meter shots putting lead on paper 18x24. I'm shooting my an AR with .223 and my 9mm Springfield XDm. I've done most of my shooting at indoor ranges (about 50 ft) and some USPSA shooting but rarely at this distance. I'm,not overly concerned witht the 50 meter range but what kind of (if any) sighting changes should I make at the other ranges shooting a 9mm handgun? Sounds stupid but I only get ten shots with each gun and need to hit 5 out of ten. Really don't feel like having to make the trip again to get qualified.
  4. Great info all. I appreciate your welcoming a newbie into the 3G world.
  5. So now that I've made the plunge into purchasing a rifle. Of course I had to take it apart. I've been watching a lot of Youtube videos and I'm seeing a lot of mixed info on lubing. One guy who I found very informative said the only thing that needs to be lubed are the contact points on the carrier. It seems to me that I would want to at least lube the bolt. I know it's a rookie question but...I'm a rifle rookie. Thanks
  6. I've been living on youtube videos for the past week. It really looks pretty easy so I'll be building my competition gun in the near future.
  7. So after all of your great input, I ended up buying an AR at the cun show this past weekend. More set up for tactical but will get me shooting sooner than later. I do plan on rebuilding this or building another from scratch but I'll call this my entry level. So much informtaion in this forum I need to take it all in. I was really looking for the Colt or Stag but got a pretty good deal on this sooo..Thanks all! Mine is all black and I paid less than $900 for it so that leaves me some room for a scope.
  8. Pretty nice. I'm getting ready to take the plunge into 3Gun. Thanks for the info.
  9. Nice, just curious, what did this cost to put together?
  10. Thanks gang, I wish I could say I have the know how to build a rifle but I really don't. I'ma handgun guy, been shooting USPSA for a while and love it. How many rounds can I expect to get out of a competiton rifle before having to do repairs and replace parts? I currently shoot a production pistol SA XDm 5.25. What classification would that work in in 3G? I've been looking at the Stag 3G, looks pretty good for the money out of the box.
  11. I've been watching 3 gun online for a while and getting ready to jump in. My problem is I have no rifle. Is there a good competition competition rilfe that could also be used for hunting or home defense? I'm just trying to spend money once but the primary use would be for 3 gun. I notice that the gun of choice is an AR, would another option such as an M1A be a waste for competition? Trying to keep it under $1500, prefer closer to $1000 but that would take the M1A out of the choice list.
  12. Again from Central Florida, Gator, you're pretty close. We should get together.
  13. Do you ever get down Central Florida way? Not sure if I'll be heading up as far as Jacksonville but maybe Gainsvill or St. Augustine.
  14. Hey man, sorry you couldn't be more excited about the gun Looks awesome, lucky for me your a local so I'll probably be the first forum brother to shoot her. Best of luck and welcome to the forum!
  15. Bob, situation sucks but major kudos to you for having a class A attitude. Thanks for sharing this, I for one will be much more aware of these types of set ups. The bright side is the example you set for your son, and the character that you showed your father. You done well!
  16. Welcome aboard, from not so sunny Florida. Where are you from?
  17. Ditto here, I'm still new to this sport but I've found that showing up early and walking the course without all the other shooters allows me to concentrate more on what I'm seeing and hopefullly putting more to memory. Then when I get up to the stage, I do my 5 minute refresher.
  18. Awesome, to think I stumbled across this while looking for ideas on building a gun stroller.
  19. Nice going, I just shot my first comp a few weeks ago. Be forewarned...this stuff is addictive.
  20. That's pretty much what I'm finding out. I went with production for now but I can see limited in my not so distant future. I also shot a steel challenge last weekend and that was a blast, but I used my production gun and I think it would have been more enjoyable with a little plinker .22. How sad...looks like more guns in my future. Thanks for the input! i sort of had the opposite experience. i shot my first steel challenge match the other day with my "race" mark III 22/45, and watched everyone else shoot it with their production guns. almost looked more fun. but the whole reason i even shot steel challenge was because it would cost so little with a 22. Price is a major factor, shooting matches every weekend isn't making the Mrs. very happy. It was pretty funny while I was shooting my 9mm with a lower power factor that factory, most of the other shooters were shooting .22 and thought I was using a canon because of the difference. Still fun, I'll shoot steel for practice ans fun and USPSA for score (eventually)
