  1. I've only shot one.  1st place pistol was 58% of the PCC winner.  There were a lot of long shots on paper and some strong/weak hand shooting at a pretty good distance.  Doesn't mean anything...but I'm still smack talking, and they were still calling me a cheater.  All in good fun.

  2. I've hardly used this Chameleon load 2 belt since I started quad loading.  I have plenty of capacity on the belt for big shotgun stages, but sometimes want to get the shells off of my belt and onto my chest.  Prone shooting, crawling through tunnels, getting in and out of vehicles, etc.  Instead of spending the money on a new chest rig, I removed the shell clips from the Chameleon belt and mounted ELS recievers.  The holes were close enough to correct spacing that I didn't have to modify the belt.  I spaced them out to fit 3 Invictus 2.8 and a 12Q for a total of 36 rounds.  Pretty sweet setup and all I had to buy was 4 ELS recievers.

  3. I strong hand quad load off of Invictus 2.8 and 12Qs.

    On lower round count stages I will load up the caddies in the order I am going to load the shells, starting on my right side. If I need to load 4 bird followed by 4 slugs, i will have them on the same caddie. But I will have extras, generally separate caddies by shell type. I end up with extra caddies on my belt most of the time. I like the extras to be my regular caddie type, even if that means some extra stuff on my belt.

    On bigger stages I usually separate shell types and grab what I need, when I need it.

    I have 2 12Qs and 3 2.8s and that seems to be good for just about any situation. The 12Q packs more shells on less real estate. The 2.8s make it easier to bend over, kneel, sit in cars.

  4. I have a question about the JP GMR - 13. Can the hand guard be swapped with another AR hand guard ? I'm a huge fan of how the JP shoots, I just want to lighten one up with a different hand guard and stock and am unfamiliar with the hand guard mounting system.

    The 16" will be easier, since the 14.5" has a pinned/welded comp.

  5. 8 shells under 5 seconds is plenty fast for almost all stages. Usually you are moving anyway. Getting all the shells in the gun consistently is more important. Especially if the stage requires more than one type of shell....buck, slugs, bird, heavy bird. Shells on the ground can really mess up your plan. I quad load, but focus on getting the shells in the gun, not on speed.

  6. And now for a Teaspoon of sand thrown at the ocean.....you just don't need a fence pole length tube. I know of at least 3 real good 3-gunners that are always in the top ten who run 8-9 round tubes. I have never used over a 9 round tube, and I still seem to do OK, and i still do real weakhand loading.

    I get that our shotguns are pretty ridiculous with the tubes extending waaaay past the barrel. But it is so much fun for this game! I am in the minority that runs a 14 round tube instead of 12. I feel like the long gun rarely holds me back, but the capacity regularly gives me an advantage.

  7. At the SW regional, some of the stages had the PCC shooters engaging the targets differently.

    "If shooting 3 gun, engage white steel with rifle with one hit and blue steel with pistol with one hit. If shooting PCC, engage blue steel with 2 hits each with PCC."

    It made the stage brief confusing. If you have to have to specify a different stage procedure for PCC, separate the PCC stage brief and put it at the bottom of the page. Better yet, just use the rules and don't change the brief. "On all stages, PCC can be used on pistol and shotgun steel, pistol and rifle paper, and rifle steel inside 100."

    Hammering steel at close range with a rifle does look really fun.

  8. I like the Henning pads on my tanfo, but the CZC basepads should work fine for you. They are easy to take off for cleaning, work with the magwell, and get you to 140mm. You can use just about anything that will fit through the hole in the bottom to remove them.

  9. I played in open with a tube gun last year. I quad load pretty well and usually didn't feel like I was at a big disadvantage to the mag fed guns, except the unloaded starts. Usually there is plenty of movement/time to load. Plus I had the advantage of being able to throw a slug in the gun mid stage.

    You might consider a longer tube. 14 is still reasonable to handle. I ran a 17 round tube and it was a little ridiculous to handle and slow to safely ground in shallow barrels.

  10. I picked one of these up today. It's the 578 GLS Pro Fit holster. They had it at Academy. The "long" version works for the Tac Sport, Tanfo Limited, and SP01. Adjustment between the 3 is just a few turns of one screw. Haven't tried any other guns yet. The release is faster than a thumb lever. My normal draw releases the latch when I grip the gun. Pretty sweet!

    Just to make sure before I buy one: Did you actually try the CZ-75 Tactical Sport that it fit the long slide holster (578-683-551) and locked in the holster ?

    CZ TS is pretty hard pistol to find a good holster with a locking system. If this works I will buy one in a heart beat.

    I found out about this holster when a shooting buddy showed up to a 3gun match with one. When I first posted, I thought he shot a tac sport. Turns out his gun is the predecessor to the tac sport, the IPSC Standard. Not sure if there are any dimensional differences or not.
