How difficult is it to change from 1x to 4x? I have the same set up and it is very stiff turning the magnification from 1x to 4x. I am hoping that over time it will loosen up (or more correctly become easier to turn). Despite that, I love mine too.

When will the entry forms be on-line? Glad to see another match within a day's (albeit a long day) drive.

One thing I do not get, if you get Krieger barrel do you really want to shoot the cheapest crap through it ? Even the best barrels can not shoot good with ammunition that is not made to shoot accurately.
If someone wants to shoot 5.56 Nato ammo, I would get a cheap barrel for that and save my Krieger for good handloads or factory ammo.
OK, I am not the most experienced shooter on this forum, so maybe I don't understand. Help me out if you will. Many 3 gunners will shoot a mix of ammo. 55gr for hoser stages, 69/77gr handloads for long range. So what is the problem with shooting cheap "crap," i.e., cheap 55 gr in a Krieger or any other top grade barrel? I still want accuracy for the long range stuff. Don't need top accuracy ammo for the hoser stages.
Can you expand?

Trying to figure out a good date in July (possibly) for a rather large 12 stage shotgun match up here in Minnesota.
Looking at the schedule so far, I can't see any really big happening around that time and I hope not to step on any toes.
Any ideas?

Sound like a good replacement for HPSC, since they are going carbine this year. Just don't make over the 4th.
-
They cashed my check. I take that as confirmation. See you there Jesse.

My app went in with a big Question mark in the "category" block. Guess Super Senior fits best. Do I need to call??

Put me down for two (2) of the iFiber 0.095" x 0.140" sights. One for my 9mm and one for my .40 Match guns. Do I need to go to the shop page to order?
-
I just completed my project of making the Large frame goldteam in 9mm.
I have a complete mags in 3x140mm and 1x170mm and it works perfectly, chambers
and no nose dive. I would like to know how many will be interested.
Thank you.
Will they work in a Match?

At the extractor groove, Super is right around .380" and 9 is around .390". I can only imagine that folks running 9 into a Super resizing die aren't resizing it all the way to the extractor groove.
Edit to add, I don't think it's the fact that 9 is tapered that causes nose dives, it's that the case simply has farther to move before it hits the feed ramp. The farther that is, the more opportunity for the nose to drop. Use spacers or SV mag tubes and it shouldn't be a problem. My 9 Major gun even runs factory OAL out of stock STI tubes without spacers.
Could you give us (Tanfoglio shooters) a few more details? Is this a Tanfoglio you are shooting? If so, is small frame or large frame? If so, which SV or STI tubes are you using? If not a Tanfo, I guess I will just wait around until the the magazines with spacers in the back become available from Henning.

The question is this: Would you still attend the 2010 Tri-Gun Challenge if the match were limited to just rifle and shotgun?
Absolutely! Let me in and I will shoot.
-
Just curious.. what exactly causes the gun to not eject spent brass when shooting in tubes?
How can this problem be remedied?
Thanks
Not sure I understand your question completely. Do you mean when shooting through a barrel? In some of those cases, the gun hits the side (or top) of the barrel recoiling and that throws the timing off or the brass bounces right back into the ejection port.
Remedy? Stay back and shoot through the barrel whilst keeping the gun out of the barrel.

After about an eight month wait, the .22 conversion for my Match finally arrived:cheers: Have fired about 100 rounds of mixed brand ammo. CCI Mini Mags seem to work the best, but there are still a lot of hiccups. Sometimes it doesn't cycle fully, i.e. doesn't chamber a round. Other times it appears that the empty is ejected to the left rather than to the right causing the whole thing to jam up. But when it runs, it is an accurate little bitch.
Anyone else have similar experiences? How many rounds before it is broken in? I have polished the feed ramp and that seemed to help the feeding. Any specific ammo recommendations? Tip, hints, commentary?
-
I am starting to get concerned
. My fax didn't go through until 5:15. I don't think you will ever get in the veteran group. They keep raising the bar. -
he also now makes 6rd carriers, which are the favorite of Redneck Tactical instructors all over the world!!!

How does one 'weak hand" reload from a 6 rounder? Three at a time?
-
Although it might be redundant, I need to add my thanks for all the effort that went into putting on the match. Loved (the challenge of) the flying birds (didn't do well, but that didn't diminish the fun). Besides shotguns are for moving targets aren't they?
It might be useful for all concerned if the ROs had a laser pointer to point out the gray targets in the murky woodlands. That way I would at least see them once!
Thanks again.

Awful quiet here!
I was thinking the same thing... the website hasn't been updates since last August.
It would appear that there isn't going to be one. Would LEAR or someone official confirm that it is canceled, so we can stop holding our breath and get on to other things??
-
Perform a very violent "mortar drill". Keep head away from muzzle. Get RO a clean pair of shorts.
OK, I'll bite, what is a Mortar Drill?

There is no match hotel, but there are several within easy driving distance, look at IH35 and edmond ok. area. I'll get link on this topic in a minute. Sorry no link but the intersection is E 2nd st. and IH35, there are several at or near that intersection.
Trapr
OK, thanks for the info.
-
OK! I am sold, application is in the mail. Now for the more mundane stuff. Is there (will there be) a match hotel? If not, any recommendations?
-
Great news! When will you start taking orders, so we can be on your waiting list?

Sir,
I am sorry to hear you didnt have a good match experience. We do appreciate the understanding of what goes into setting up a match. Nobody likes shooting in less than favorable conditions & we certainly didnt ask for additional precipitation. These natural terrain matches are vastly different from anything you will find with IPSC/USPSA pistol match. A 3-Gun match @ a groomed facility such as CMMG may be more of what you are looking for.
RufDog (I don't know the real names in this group, so will stick with your "handle"), my intention in my original post was to focus on three points that I though could make your's a better match; safety, organization, and equity. If safety isn't paramount, I won't be back. No trophy, or prize is worth a serious injury. The only thing injured when I fell was my dignity (which wasn't helped by driving back to the hotel in my BVDs to keep mud off the seats). I suspect the person that reportedly "blew our his knee" (Moots?) may feel differently. Safety was the point about children riding ATVs through the parking lot and out toward the active ranges. I signed the liability wavier don't think those kids did.
Organization - motivated the comments about, registration, maps, gps, stage 8, etc.
Equity - if it is expected to be a "crap shoot" on target visibility and footing, so be it. If that is the intent of the game, fine. I have shoot CMMG among others, and try to make as many 3-gun matches as I can. Your's was different, I know that now.
Thanks for all your effort.

Well, for a change of pace, here are some comments that are somewhat less laudatory. First, I along with everyone else appreciate the work that goes into putting on a match of this size. My club hosted the Area 3 match for the past two years, so I have a feel for what that takes. Thanks!
On the negative side – arrived at the registration site 15 minutes after the published start time, no one there, well that doesn't create the best first impression. OK, will drive out to the range and check it out (oops, no directions to the range, no maps at the hotel desk, nor were gps coordinates ever posted, even after someone suggested that might be a good idea).
Safety: kids riding ATVs through the parking area and out toward the active ranges. Some with no helmets. Not my kids, but I do like kids and wouldn't want to see them injured. Stage one was extremely hazardous on Saturday. Getting there was a challenge, fell once myself. The actual stage was almost as bad. I am not a big fan of running/moving rapidly on slick footing with a loaded weapon in my hands.
Stage eight was a total goat rope. My squad spent four hours total waiting for fixes, waiting for transportation, waiting for a second squad to do a walk-through (after they stood there and watched us walk-through and shoot the stage). One of our squad members had a bloodied face after getting a branch in the face on the ride to the stage.
Very limited parking for stages 2, 3, and 6. A little dozer work would have made a big difference.
Admittedly, this was my first match in natural terrain, but I am unconvinced that shooting gray targets (5x5s) in the shade with the sun in your eyes is a measure of one's shooting skills.
On the plus side, the awards ceremony was well organized and on time.
The highlight of the match from my perspective was the fact that the high Military shooter was RETIRED Air Force!
There! I feel better now.

Yeah after I get some other "projects" out of the way I'm gonna see if I can make it run with big sticks.
Will they fit in a Match shooting limited? Would be the answer to my prayers!

What's your favorite AR mag coupler for 3G?

I use the Brownells mag coupler. Nylon with a spacer so that the mags are stagger, but the base is flat. It is the one Jerry uses in his video on the Brownells web site. Works great.
