I ran mine at an indoor range trying to sight in my rifle. It was a Murphy's law day. I'm using a voodoo ultra light barrel on a spikes lower. ASA side charger upper. I was all over the paper. No rhyme or reason. I noticed a lot of flash but it was pretty dark on the line. Going back with my sled to try to take me out of the equation. Not sure if the brake does not play well with the u.l. barrel or there is something else wonky

Had mine today. Moving from rifle dump barrel to shotgun stage...tripped over my own shadow. Have it on video still can't tell what happened, guess my brain/body just got ahead of my feet. Went town like a toddler, face first, pistol hit the ground out of holster. Bummer. Pistol full of dirt, bruised ego and red faced. Stayed taped and scored.

I picked one up as well for a side charger build I'm doing. Looking forward to your report. I'm running out of funds quicker than I'm running out of needed parts so it may be some time before I get mine running

Thanks everyone. Kinda supported my thoughts. Yes, I'm a gear whore. Financially, I think I'll work at getting him a shotgun first as the VMax is a bit big for him. We can share the rifle and he's already called dibs on one of the M&Ps in the safe. I think I'll either go with another 80% lower as I have a couple of blanks in the garage yet to be milled. Maybe pick up an upper from Armalite or from Mark over at Carbon. I appreciate the input.

OK Gang, Sorry for the long post. I'm very new to the 3 gun game but I've been having a lot of fun. Mid-pack shooter but have had a few "flashes of brilliance" on some stages that lets me know I can do better. I do know that my current rifle is not holding me back...but. My son has also started shooting with me (along with my best friends son who is my son's best friend, if that makes sense). Our match director has started a "Junior" division for the boys running M&P 15/22s and 20ga pumps. So, at 12, my son is a pretty big boy, at 5'6 and 130# (+/-) so he is already bugging me about moving up to 9mm/5.56/12ga next season. (That breeze is the money flying out of my wallet!) So, onto the question. My current rig is a Palmetto carbine length/16in upper on an 80% lower. Just a few do-dads, certainly not a race gun. At this point, I think that rifle may go to Jr. and dad will upgrade (since the boy is going to need a 12ga shotgun too!) since the only other AR in the safe is an SBR I need to expand the heard. So I know this is a no-right answer question, but here goes? What makes for a "good" 3 gun AR? Build or buy? Would I be $$ ahead by just going with something like an Armalite that is pretty much ready to go? I have a few months

I'm pretty new to this (third match) and this weekend I did close to the same thing. I did the walk through, counted the targets...counted my belt load perfect. Of course I didn't account for any misses or that the spinner would take me 3 shots. Got the spinner over and grabbed air when I went to reload. 3fte for the stage. Stupid but I won't make that mistake again!

I have started my 11 year old in 3 gun. He is hooked. He is shooting a youth 870 in 20 ga. I noticed he is having trouble getting a good cheek weld and thus is shooting over his target. We worked on it, but the hearing protection he is using is a bit bulky, it makes him uncomfortable and rides up on his ears. I can't afford in-the-ear protection for him. What is the slimmest electronic units out there?

Wow. Great information! Thanks

Hi guys still new to this. I've been laying in ammo supplies (haven't we all?) My first two matches I just used bulk pack 7.5 shot (matches are limited to 7.5). Started to pay more attention to ammo and see there are options for light or heavy or just "target" . Are these variables based on powder loads? Is one a better choice for different scenarios?

Yea the comp is screw on as well, but there is a pot metal retainer under it. Thanks Iowa shooter, I figured that was the case

Just got my Versamax shotgun and have been learing the manual of arms and getting comfortable It came with a +2 extention and I know this is silly but the manual says nothing about installing. I'm assuming you just pull the end cap and pry off the "retainer" and install the extention w/o anything else? As in the spring will rest inside the extention tube? Is there a trick to getting the retainer out? I tried to lightly pry it out but it's pretty soft and I don't want to gall it if I need it in the future.

This is a cool topic. I've had my boy shooting since 6 or so. He's 11 now and We did our first trap shoot this spring and he's shown aptitude. Since I just started doing 3 gun he has expressed interest. He shoots the .22s mostly Is there any issues with teaching different platforms or should we focus on one area?

Thanks for the welcome!

New guy here, I just got my CR speed in the mail. Just for the info, I wear 33" waist in Jeans. Actual mesurement with a tailors tape was 36" I ordered the 40" CR Speed. This gives me approx 12" overlap on my inner belt and around 8" on my outer without any holster or mag pouches. I think I could have gotten the 38 and been fine, but this gives me options.

Hello All, Another n00b here. Shot all my life, did some training in other shooting disiplines (Defensive etc...) Buddy talked me into going to a 3 gun with him. Should have known better, I can have an addictive personality about these things. Don't consider myself super competetive....but one event later, and I've upgraded my pistol, made mods to my AR and jussst ordered a VERY expensive Versamax shotgun. A fool and his money are soon parted I guess! Been lurking a while, learned a lot and hope I can contribute a little.
