The only feedback I had, that I already discussed with the MD was that with as detailed as the killhouse was it was more of a simulation than a stage. This would have been fine if we could have verbally interrogated the targets with "Drop the gun!" "Stop", "show me your hands!" or something. and the RO or assistant could have yelled "threat", "innocent", or (Arnold voice) "I'm a cop you idiot!"...something along those lines.
Rival gang invasion could have been made more PC with "Red Team vs Blue Team" like the Team Fortress Computer Games and still have presented the same challenge.

The version shown here with 4 full tubes looks pretty cool...
I may have to consider shooting a tube fed again...

I concur, sell it all and get standard stuff.
Having the ejection port where you can see it is an advantage for knowing its time to reload or clear a malfunction. I don't even run ambi controls.

This movie made me LOL a lot, totally outrageous. Best line: "You didn't bring enough pigs to hurt me!"

Just read it a couple weeks ago...very entertaining.
We're having a Monster Hunter International stage at the Halloween Shotgun match.
-
This match is now *FULL*.
If you still wish to participate, you may RSVP, but I can not guarantee a slot.
We'll put you on a waiting list, in order, and can fill in slots if people cancel before hand.

Yeah I clean mine out every 300-400 rounds to ensure reliability. Good test is if you don't hear the piston sliding freely tilting the gun up and down, it's time to clean it.

Michigan State 3 Gun Match
Video:
The Michigan State 3 Gun Match hosted by the Livingston Gun Club was certainly a unique experience this year. Five of the eight stages were blind. The shooter had no idea what they were getting into until they went through the door. The shooter had to think much harder during the stages and constantly scan for targets. Two stages in addition to being blind required the shooter to determine what color of targets they were supposed to shoot after the shot clock went off; in one case clues in the room you woke up in and in another an intel-document you read on the clock. The dark kill house required the shooter to determine threat/non-threat based on weapons the 3-D targets were holding, clothing, or other visual cues (police badge for example).
Trooper Division was a very tight race this year with 17 shooters total. The top 4 slots were less than 22 seconds apart, and 3rd (my place) and 4th were less than 1.5 seconds apart. We typically havent seen scores this close together in Trooper Division at other competitions. People are definitely upping their game.
Saiga-12s have caught on in both Trooper and Open divisions. I spotted probably around a dozen total. Four of the eight shooters on my squad were using them. MD Arms 20 round drums were also common. No two of the guns were the same, many sporting a lot of the new custom add-ons.
Match attendance over all was way up from the previous year with 76 shooters total. The Livingston Gun Club puts on a quality match. If you live in the area or will be visiting I suggest checking it out.

Russ, do you have times for a standing reload??
Trapr
When I was reloading with locking it open it was 4.5-5 seconds shot to shot.
I haven't timed myself loading on a closed bolt. I'll do that when I get a chance
-
thanks Russ.

Forgot about this one: www.cavalryarms.com/vids/reload.wmv

Did you have to mess with the recoil springs for it to work? I've found the more shells getting pushed up the more the bolt seems to drag.
-
thanks Carl, I thought I'd get more info from the open and box mag guys, since they are soooooooooooooooooooooooooo fast.
maybe they're outrunning the timer!!!!

Well this isn't as scientific as you'd like but you can watch the play time on my youtube videos for mag reloads
Loading on closed bolt with 9 in mag: (current practice)
Locking open to load 10 in mag (old practice)

Red Dots are actually 0x, same for the Trijicon Reflex. Sights like the Leupold Prismatic are 1X; you are seeing from the objective lens forward and this is why the view is slightly magnified.
-
So is this for Olympic pattern uppers? Colt pattern (RRA, ASA, etc) would theoretically need a new bolt because Colt pattern is set up for double column feed, where the olympic is set up for single column feed.

hahah nice!
This thing is filling up quick! 50 people already registered.

I shoot 3 Gun because of the following:
1) diversity of challenges that we are faced with, and the fact it is rarely the same. You have to be good at a lot of different things to be good at 3 Gun.
2) The continual challenge has forced me to improve my skills over the years in ways that I would not have by merely taking classes or practicing on my own.
3) It has exposed me to new shooting concepts and ideas that I would not have otherwise encountered.
4) Product testing and evaluation. More industry people need to be involved in the action shooting sports; then maybe there wouldn't be so much junk on the market.
5) Objective testing of shooter skill and equipment on the clock sorts out a lot of the hypothetical debate BS we commonly find in the firearms community.

ohh and the Troopers . . . they tape and reset them selves. . . just on principal
Yes I concur.

I have a modular vest system that Coyote Tactical built for me. The different front pannels interchange with fastex buckels so I can swap it out for whatever I need to do.
AR15 Mag carrier:

Uzi/9mm AR/Glock 30 rounders. Holds 8
http://www.cavalryarms.com/gear/MR-2.jpg
SAIGA-12, holds 4 ten rounders. This is the piece I most commonly use for 3 Gun matches, particularly Trooper Division. Subgun pouch is attached. I use Glock 30 rounders or Uzi mags in it depending on what the stage requires

Back pieces:

Camelback can still be used as a stand alone unit:

Pistol Belt:
http://www.cavalryarms.com/gear/MR-6.jpg
Spec Ops Brand Belt and thigh rigs. VAPOR holster chassis has Safariland holster installed. I prefer the VAPOR holster chassis becuse the dual suspension system limits back and forth movement on the leg.
AR mag pouches on thigh are from Coyote Tactical. They are kydex lined.
The dump pouch was sized to hold 4 empty Saiga mags.
Suspenders help distribute the weight and add to comfort. Duty belt keepers make sure the pistol belt does not ride up over my pants belt.
If you see something you like Coyote Tactical can build it for you, e-mail coyotetactical@gmail.com

Hey Josh, if you want to know about carrying a lot, I mean alot, of crap around at a match ask SinistralRifleman. He shoots trooper class. Those guys are gluttons for punishment.
I'll take some pics of my current modular system to post later...

The price isn't really that much more than a Gas Piston AR15 with all the same type of accessories the SCAR comes with.
It could very well be the next service rifle....Special Forces got them, the Rangers are deploying with them (based on an article I read), they could eventually trickle down into general issue.
-
Anyone using a FN SCAR16s for 3 gun? Looking for any information you might have about this rifle.
Thanks
Tasha Hanish used one at my Independence Day Action Rifle match this year. It worked as good as anything else, and we were shooting out to 300 yards.

So what are the better options?.... TT Mav with the X-Harness.
The TT Mav holds shotgun shells and everything else is on the belt.
That's a better option right there.
The FLC tends to sag in the front when it is loaded down. It was designed to be worn over the IBA so the shoulder straps are thin, and don't feel comfortable over just a t-shirt. Just my opinion anyway.
maybe they're outrunning the timer!!!!

I've been seeing those same shells with lots of loose plastic coming off the front seal. No primer blow outs though.
