    This x100 I got the RNT tab and I love it. Bigger than most buttons and it will never break off. I reccomend some traction tape on top of the tab.

    This past weekend I had to run a 3 gun nation classifier that required an empty start. I'd been practicing some after this thread got my thinking. Here is what I did. Start port arms Disengage safety while rolling gun over 2 quality loads with weak hand Use strong hand thumb to hit trigger Rack bolt with weak hand while rilling gun over Shoulder and fire My first shot time was 5.07. Target was a 4"x10" steel that was 34 feet away. It could be a little faster but I was pretty happy with it. I can posts a video if anyone is interested.

    They are owned and run by the same people but they are different companies. Technically

    I've toyed around with doing this in practice, if your going to do it make sure you have the hand/wrist strength to hold a shotgun that now has 8 shells in it with nothing but your thumb and 3 fingers. I can get it done but it does take some strength. Also in my experience its slower cause you can't finger the trigger till you have rolled the gun right side up.

    Would you mind posting a picture of one of the extended shell releases?

    Thanks for the update. Any idea how much Horner beat Jerry by?
  7. Dewberry
    Basically anything execpt red dot and comp/porting

    Your kidding right? It happens all the time. It happens so much 3gn made it so its no longer a match DQ. Just a penalty.
  9. Dewberry
    Who was it? its a secret.. kidding, honestly I dont remember, I just remember thinking it was odd to see a contraption id never seen before hanging off one of the top guys guns.

    I work the 3 gun nation regional match this past weekend, and one of the best shooters there was running one of these. He was shooting in practical. He had it on his gun at my stage which didn't require it's use so I'm guessing it can't be taken on/off throughout the match.
  11. Dewberry
    Yeah. Its kinda hit and miss for me. But at a major match Ill suck it up and deal with the pain to have a bigger charging handle.
  12. Dewberry
    Everyone would rather see you out shooting with less than ideal gear than not shooting at all. Just don't have a I know everything attitude and other will gladly accept/help you.
  13. Dewberry
    Thanks for the good idea. Honestly right now the guns shooting sub moa at 200 so I'm just going to rock it and see what happens this weekend at the regional. Wish me luck. Haha

    They told me both will work but it's a tight fit. But the set screw will give more clearance.
  15. Dewberry
    how much clearance do I need between my gas block and hand guard? I have a SLR ultralight hand guard and a SLR sentry 7 clamp on gas block the clearance between the bottom of the gas block and the inside of the rail is tight. If I put my thumb on the bottom of the rail and my fingers on my comp and squeeze with minimal effort I can feel the 2 touching. (with a spr profile fluted barrel) my concern is they will touch and effect accuracy when pushing into a barricade, or when I put a bipod on for target shooting. Do I need to be concerned about this? I figure my options are remove material from one of the 2 or get a new hand guard. thanks in advance for the advice.
  16. Dewberry
    Yeah that's what I thought. I was hoping it wouldn't. But thank you for the prompt reply.
  17. Dewberry
    I know traditionally rifle gas is the smoothest shooting. But if I have a adjustable gas block and I'm tuning with a low mass carrier does the length or the gas system matter? (I'm considering mid length) I understand the gun will still function, I'm worried about being able to tune the recoil as low as possible.

    Is the 1/4 mile hike part of the new match or is Mike and Lan including it in the new matches? No that was back when Fred ran it.
  19. Dewberry
    At that match it was easier to sling the rifle than to hike 1/4 mile up hill to stage it. Which cut the reset time in half. I don't see us running such a long stage at the regional match and therefore don't see a need for sling. On a side note that be of the best monthly matches in Texas IMO.
  20. Dewberry
    This whole thread is about slings. Not the style of stages. I personally like all kinda of stages from 8 second burn them down to 3 min to run over 200 yards shoot out to 500. I just don't like slings, in any kind of stage. I don't see what a sling add to any style stage over a pickup off a table and IMO it take away in make ways.
  21. Dewberry
    A club having a 3 gun nation affiliation doesn't really set up any kind of expectation for me as to what kind of match it will be. But at the 3 gun nation regional, a match put on by 3gn staff at a location of their choosing I expect more drag racing style stages, and certainly not slings.
  22. Dewberry
    I just shot the Western Regionals in St. George and was rather disappointed that the stages were not the same type of stages I had seen on the 3 Gun Nation show. There are lots of outlaw, natural terrain, physical challenge, contortionist matches available, but I wanted and expected a match more like Dewberry described. The Regional was certainly challenging, and the stages were fun, but they were not drag racing with guns. This is exactly what im talking about, I joined 3gn to experience 3gn. I go to a local monthly match that full of the opposite of 3gn.
  23. Dewberry
    I know, I'm aware that's a popular opinion on this forum. I enjoy both for what they are. i just dont want to see 3gn try to mix practical (aka slings) with fast hoser style stages, sounds not fun and dangerous to me.
  24. Dewberry
    To me 3 gun nation isn't about the practical nature of the sport at all. We use race gun that are tuned to the edge like a race car, we customize out load out before each stage to fit exactly that stage, and we game targets making sure to not put more time int o them than they are worth. It is 100% about the game, about shooting a stage as fast and efficient as possible while not getting DQ'ed. With this release saying to expect slings on both long guns maybe 3gn is headed in a different direction for the regionals
  25. Dewberry
    I completely agree, which is why I use a holster with active retention. but as I've said above. im worried about others not myself. Not realy. Holster a rigid and fixed on the most convient position possible, the trigger is completely covered and gravity works to keep the gun in the holster. I have seen far more loaded pistols hit the dirt coming out of a holster with no external interference than getting ripped out by a stray sling. It shocks me that I still see people at major 3-Gun matches without an active retention system on their holsters.
