Ill be the guy that is less...stressful(?) I guess is the word. Just go, have fun, dont expect to get 1st place in your very first match. Watch and learn and be helpful. Youll really enjoy it.
I use a Dillon 550 for 9mm and Im at about $0.12/rd right now. With the price of factory ammo falling it is becoming less and less beneficial to roll your own there.
Agreed.
I would assume 2Gun is just normal rifle/pistol and it will be in a standard competition format. Think of it more like football versus a marathon run. You have short spurts of activity multiple times instead of a consistent pace (with an added potty break or shooting portion).
Whatever works best for you!
I used a Magpul fixed stock when I briefly shot 3Gun and it worked fine. Zero adjustment but always in the same place when the gun went up.
I meant to start doing this. Sold some kit and got my "slightly bigger carry" gear squared away...then my local club shut down. It would be great practice. I run a lot of drills at home with my CCW gear just to train but a match would help more than some canned drills.
This is my take as well. My mind can be an enemy. If I know a certain move will save time but I could forget it under duress Im more likely to avoid it. This is also why Im not a GM!
Never have other than a few quick dry fires at the table. It was pretty obvious when I would show up "late" and not even get that in. I usually bomb the first stage then do progressively better. Ive seen some guys run a few laps before matches too. A good thing to start doing!
Short answer: yes.
Long answer: it kind of depends. When I shoot with a bunch of Open or Limited guys their speed and course planning affect how I plan to shoot a stage. But that being said their reload points (if any) are much different than mine in Production. If Im with a couple GM Production shooters I really see the benefit.
