Finally read the FAQs

Finally read the FAQs (3/11)

  1. Glad I PM'd him. If you're in the market, I'd recommend you get in touch with Scott!
  2. "Hadn't seen the spectator thing , my wife was planning on coming along. So I'm interested in this as well. Those who have shot there before , can you shed any light on how it's done ?" It's pretty simple. If I recall correctly they just need the name, DOB and address of everyone attending. They run their check and add you to the access list. When you get to the facility, they check the list and give you an access card. Not too bad. I would expect an email in the next week or so with instructions on how they plan to execute all of that. As Jesse pointed out, Charles is probably wrapped up with the 3GN match and he's got the Hiper Fire match closing in quickly too. Anyone that's attended a match Charles runs can tell you that everything will fall in to place. For ammo, I plan on bringing 300 pistol, 300 rifle, 200 bird and 40 slugs. That's my standard load out for a major match and I've never run into an issue of not having enough ammo. I also always bring a sling for both long guns, it's just easier that way. My guess is that we'll need slings for rifles, not sure that we'll need them for shotgun. I'm also planning to work from my vehicle. Academi is huge, there will be room. Nothing I've heard from Charles indicates any scenario where you are carrying all your kit or anything like that.
  3. All noted. Charles hit me up this morning and said he'd post updates soon. He also said he's not a fan of blind stages either, so I doubt very seriously we'll be seeing those. My bad!
  4. I wouldn't expect any round counts or stage descriptions until much closer to the match. I'll let Charles know about the dead link. I talked to Charles recently about adding a couple of unique divisions that will be friendly towards folks using issued equipment. I'll wait for Charles to iron out the details before saying too much, but I am fairly confident that body armor will be required to compete in those divisions. A few things I believe you'll see in this match... 1. A focus on accuracy beyond the normal 3GN rules. 2. Slings on rifles and transitions required. 3. Blind stage(s) 4. More emphasis on pistol and rifle than shotgun. 5. Physical challenges... These will be avoidable to those who aren't comfortable doing them, but with penalty. 6. Some cool props and unique shooting positions that are challenging, but fun. There is opportunity to shoot long distance at Academi. Longest distance won't be known until the stages are set, but I'd be ready to shoot 400yds. Don't sweat the details too much. Charles always gets the word out in time. This will be a fun match that has a slightly different flavor than the normal drag races. We all know Charles, his staff, and the Academi staff will make it fun and challenging for everyone. All my comments are just educated guesses... Nothing binding, I'm not the Match Director!
  5. Thanks for the clarification. Looking forward to the match!
  6. If anyone is looking for the owner of the grey Audi that they backed in to, that would be me. Your note must have blown away, I couldn't find it. I'm sure you're losing sleep over it and I'd love to ease your conscience. Great match, good fun, tough competition. Big thanks to Charles and crew. The RO's are the best I've seen.
  7. As advertised by the manufacturerA manufacturer who has nothing to do with 3-Gun. Supporting device is pretty open to interpretation.That's a debate for a different thread. I'm asking for the rules, not the opinion of the Internet. Just sharing the rule banning supporting devices which this clearly seems to be. Not sure how you could possibly classify it as something other than a supporting device. Well, thanks for sharing. I read the rules before asking the question. It's not classified as a supporting device in 3GN rules. My opinion is a supporting device holds up a rifle without your hands on it. My opinion doesn't matter. I'm not the match director. Just looking for clarity so I know whether or not to remove it, pretty simple.

  9. Is there any issue with using a Silo in Tac Ops? I've heard rumor that it will be allowed as a barricade brace, but you won't be allowed to support the rifle on it- similar to the ruling on vertical foregrips in the past years. I'd rather not take mine off, but I don't want to play in Open!
  10. Anything from the 3GN rules that is not allowed? Mag tube length, fore grips etc..? Don't want to show up and have to reconfigure at the match. Thanks!
  11. What rule set is this match following? I looked at the match page and couldn't find anything. I know scoring is different, but will equipment follow the 3GN Practical division rules?
  12. I spoke to Charles this week and everything is still on. No drama, just busy lives. There should be a registration announcement "soon". I understand the frustration and wish I could give you a concrete date. All I can say is that a lot of work is going in to making this inaugural event something special for everyone. It should be worth the wait.
