All out now.

Awesome! I'm glad to hear that you can make it out this year!

We do that to. This is an eoy match where we try to amp everything up for a little more excitement.

I'm not sure I agree... ammo mfg's, sure... stock gun mfg's sure... custom builders and custom parts and gear vendors... I'd be curious to hear from anyone with an insider's view on that.

Hey guys, I've been bouncing an idea around for how I might handle my 2020 end of season prize table match and thought I'd get a take from everyone. I'm afraid this current covid-19 crisis is going to have a big impact on many of the vendors that support our prize table matches best they can. Without this news it has been getting harder and harder to sustain as it was. I'm thinking about simply offering to fly banners for all vendors interested and maybe just put together prize packs for top finishes but not try to build a big prize table so that everyone gets a prize this year... Kind of a, let's really around our vendors type theme. What do you think the community's response would be knowing its just not fair to think we can expect these vendors to keep forking it over if the economic impact is as hard on them as it looks to be?

For those here that shoot in PCC division and cross over from 3-gun, what has been your struggles? Any advice?

Sorry for the delay, I don't know how most of a whole week got away from me! I'm grabbing basically right at the hanger. On the short mags this is about 1/8 the way from the bottom. On the long mags this is about the middle of the mag.

If I can interject, I think this depends on mag length. I tried to set my long mags up so I grab in the same place as short mags. That way I can basically have the same feel for sending the mag home no matter what.

What kind of shotgun?

Interesting; I saw some people have actually attached the ELS directly to the mags as well. I was thinking that would be the way to go given all the clips I have on my belt but of course attachment sounds like the tricky part.

I have. I am interested in what you feel is the best. I would have said the same thing about UML rules.

I put on 3-gun matches at 2 different clubs, Colfax Sportsmen's Club over the summer (May - Sept) and Marc-On Indoor over the winter (Dec-March). I try to help out at both clubs with their other events as both run USPSA and Colfax does Steel & Rimfire Challenge + Bowling Pin matches. I also travel and help out at some of the 3-gun majors. Love this forum and thought I should put in a shout out as I never did the intro post.

If you really need to get a USPSA fix and don't mind a drive, Marc-On is located near Eau Claire, WI and runs indoor USPSA 2x per month. We do 4-5 stages, multiple of which are classifiers, and the matches get done within about 2-3 hours. Matches are on PractiScore if you want to check it out.

Thanks!

Can you highlight best parts of 3GN rule set?

Looking for any lessons learned from guys that have been running box feed shotguns on how to carry spare mags... Or how not to

Wow, thanks for all the details Jim! This is exactly what I want to know!

Everywhere I've been has been Expedition except the Traditional Nationals in TX. I like go-fast type matches so the Expedition scoring appeals more to me.

Thanks, I thought I saw that before. The airline I'd prefer also doesn't go there but between a tight timeline and cost of getting a car to drive from Denver or Salt Lake it looks like my best option is bite the bullet and fly straight in.

Thanks for the info. Not a fan of that airline based on a number of bad travel experiences with them but I'll check out my options.

Unfortunately I have to fly for major matches due to work so I was wondering if anyone has been in and out of Grand Junction, CO that would have tips on best airlines, etc. Seems a bit too far to drive from Denver or other major airports.

I didn't reference uml in my comment. The rest of your statement applies to any matc. Whether it's ensuring people are in the right division or someone wants to debate the approach to a stage... Not here to argue with people as everyone has right to an opinion and I am curious to hear different ideas but it's hard to follow you.

Wow that's super helpful!

Is it just me or has the range lawyering reached an all time high in 3-Gun?

Just wondering who's shot a UPL match and if you've shot USPSA before, how do the two compare?
